HI Jim and tom
The rides you mention sound interesting.
Yes tom the sling slong is almost like the demon drop but on the sling
slong, if memory serves, the people is fastened to it.
They lie on a matrass.
They don't stand.
Then the sling slong moves upwards gradually but then it drops down
suddenly.
Oh yes, now I remember another ride I went on; not only at ratanga junction
but also at shows when I was a kid.
I'm talking of shows like shows where there are different stalls such as
food stalls and clothes stalls.
So its not a show like a concert show but a show consisting of many stalls.
Anyway, a ride I remember from my childhood days is swings.
They look like the normal swings at parks but those swings does not go up
and down.
They go round and round.
When the swing starts, it rises a short distance into the air and then it
goes round and round.
What I didn't like about the swing rides, is that sometimes a person sitting
on a nearby swing tries to be funny and kicks the swing I'm sitting on and
then my swing would go wild.
I think its unsafe if people kick other people's swings.
What do you think?

Hi Nicol,
I have been to Cedar Point many times. It has been called the best roller
coaster park in the world for years. I love roller coasters. The faster
and more times upside down the better. But an old rickety wooden roller
coaster is scarry fun as well. And one thing about ones like the raptor
where you are sitting with your feet dangling in the air, is that the seat
in front of you blocks the air. So I also like ones that go fast but you
get all of the air in your face. More scarry for me is slow high rides like
double fairiswheels and the ones that hang from a cable. They just give you
too much time to think about how high you are etc. And then the person
riding with you likes to rock the thing to make it even more scarry.
BFN
Jim
You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that
you once got from a roller coaster.
