Mine was the sunwheel at California Adventure - the swinging cars. I can ride anything with speed, but those stationary cars scared the bejeezus out of me, especially when they began swinging on the way down. I thought we were going to turn completely upside down. :shock:

The swinging cars are awesome! I was surprised that F1gment wanted to go on the swinging cars the first time we went. I was all set to be sad and go in the stationary cars but she was game for the swinging car so off we went. That is some thrill the first time it rolls and swings :shock: Forget that little wheeing pig (not sure if you have that commercial in Canada or not, but we have one where a pig goes whee while ziplining and luging and he says, "pure adrenaline" when he does it) go on the sun wheel!! :lol:

oh, come on... it is really no worse than TT, or even ToT to brave malfunction junction and all the Carp of Downtown Atlanta. i Would suggest next time, instead of I75 or I85 downtown, to take I285 east to I675, to I75... misses most of the excrement that is DownTown Atl and the Speedway, might be about 17 miles longer or so, but well worth not pulling out your hair (BTW, has anyone else ever seen a bypass that bypasses part of a bypass? that is I675!)

We always got lost in Atlanta! My Dad could look at a map once and get us anywhere we wanted to go, but for some reason we seemed to detour through the Atlanta airport when we drove to Florida :? :lol:

I used to be the biggest chicken about ANY thrill rides. Luckily, WDW has changed allll of that! :mickey: I remember being TERRIFIED to ride ToT and now it's my absolute favorite attraction in the whole World!

Still haven't talked myself into MS, though... Maybe this next trip I will... :oops:
