I couldn't find a thread for this story, so I figured I'd start one. I thought it was kind of cool; hope y'all agree. I apologize, because it doesn't really relate directly to BGW, but rather to roller coasters in general.
We took our daughter and her friend (both 12 years old) to Florida last week and of course visited some parks (BGT, Adventure Island, and Sea World). Naturally we took the girls on all of the coasters. Anyway, after we got off of Manta in Sea World, they started critiquing the ride. Apparently Manta needs a series of tight, corkscrewing loops, to be really cool. I just thought it was hilarious that they have moved from merely screaming incoherently to analyzing the ride.
Later in the trip we were talking to them about HOS and they started describing themes for Houses. Yes, they want a Doctor Who hamlet, and no, I didn't give them the idea.
Anyway, it appears that we have successfully raised a new generation of coaster junkies. My work here is done.
