I should mention, that on Saturday we went to MGM aka Hollywood Studios and I rode my first roller coaster - the Rock n Roller Coaster.
It goes 0-60 mph in 2.8 sec. apparently not unlike the F-14 Tomcat...it's highest point is 80 ft, with a 360 sidewinder, horseshoe, 2 cobra rollovers, lifts, many drops, etc.
Much fun!
