I can't believe you've never been on a roller coaster before now! How does that happen? Would you ever go on one again (a "real" one)? :-)
How does that happen? I went to Valleyfair once when I was eight and haven't been back since. I don't think I want to go on a "real" one. What's funny is Drew went on one with Todd that I wouldn't go on. I'm such a chicken!
