You captured that moment well. The wooden roller coasters are the scariest.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470833142119811509.post-24510756126458096322011-04-18T08:57:49.780-07:002011-04-18T08:57:49.780-07:00The new ones are made of steel & are safe &...The new ones are made of steel & are safe & boring.

I could just close my eyes and see myself dangling at the edge of risk, based solely on how you described them.

The place was called Saltair. By then, it was too unsteady, and so I never rode it. I remember, though, another roller coaster at Lagoon, also in Utah, that I did ride. I wouldn't want to now! That first drop scared the begeebers out of me even then.<br /><br />Will each ride be the last? But still we take the ride; take the risk. That IS the thrill of the ride, and of life.<br /><br />This feels like a poem, imagistic and reflective. I like it very much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
