Huckleberries Online

Timbrrrrr Terrrrrorrrrr

I'm a wuss when it comes to carnival rides. The Merry Go Round is about my top speed. I still can't believe I road the Jurassic Park roller coast at Universal Studios a coupla years ago, the one with the big drop at the end. You'll never see me on Timber Terror. Ever. And Family Phil/Tall Trees reminds me why in this photo, which he calls "The Last Ride (of the Summer)."

Question: Are you a wuss like me when it comes to carnival rides? Or are you brave, like my young friend Bre, who sez screaming enhances the scarier rides like Tilt-O-World?
