Rollercoasters for Breakfast

We all went to King's Dominion Amusement Park in Ashland (totally a good idea if you're ever in the area).

I had slept in because I was sick, so Kathy and the kids headed out first. By the time I got there, Angie wanted to go off and do the big rollercoasters and rides -- so, since I was a little weak, I headed off with Nate.

Nate was really fond of the Flying Eagle, which is basically just a ride where you swing around gently on chains, the thing you're sitting in has a big metal "sail" and you fly up and down.

This is what it looked like (opens a popup)

...now, having had such a grand success -- Nate really thought it'd be a great idea to get on the Rollercoaster -- you know, the one I mention in the video -- the Hurler

(I promise you, though this may disappoint a few people, I do not hurl).

We head to the thing -- and get into the all-metal cars. Please remember that -- they're all metal cars, no cushions, no protection -- and well, it shakes you around a little. (opens a popup)
