Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy
Here is our challenge for today
This is a story not a poem about
The Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens
I am not a fan of roller coasters or ferris wheels.
I don't like heights and I especially don't like heights that curve and turn at odd angles.
Many years ago when we were younger we went to Busch Gardens. At the time there were numerous roller coasters just like this. My husband wanted to ride at least one.
In 2018 I had a post about this ride here is are a few photos
No way, I said I'll wait for you.
Then we spied the Big Bad Wolf.
We watched it many many times as it started off in this lovely setting meandering through trees calmly.......It was totally different from any roller coaster. Not high, no curves and twists. It was built so that the cars were mounted under the tracks. I agreed to ride it.
My husband kept telling me to open my eyes. I replied, NOPE I can only handle one sensation at a time and right now it is FEELING...don't need to SEE.
At one point the tracks passed over a lake. He said LOOK, A few more inches and our feet could have have touched the water just passed these trees
OMCs/OMDs it was so much fun we rode it 4 times in a row. I thoroughly enjoyed feeling and seeing every inch of the ride.
I don't ever want to get on a roller coaster...I would 'leave my cookies' all over it! (Or on those below...) That ride you went on is for sure more my style too...and I have had these thoughts since aa a kid I was on one of those rotating saucer rides....OMC! Never again!!

ReplyDeleteAw, good to see Ernie!
As for roller coasters, I wouldn't be in one either, but the treetop sight seer is another thing altogether! YAM xx
I used to go on roller coasters when I was young, but they weren't as extreme as now. I managed to persuade Ivor to go on Splash Mountain in Disney and he said, never again!
ReplyDelete4 times??? wow that as super brave.... we are no fans of such rides.... and there were embarrassing memories of my childhood LOL. Hi Ernie, we love your mohawk and send a big hug to you
ReplyDeleteI rode roller coasters and ferris wheels when I was much younger but no more! Hi Ernie! Love your mohawk!
ReplyDeleteI don't do rides. Maybe a merry go round. That's about it. Ernie, you are one cool dude.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely not a fan of a roller coaster. But it sounds like the ride you were on would have been fun and not as scary. But then I'm terrified of heights. Ernie looks to be taking life easy.
ReplyDeleteErnie, we remember you. Too bad we don't hear much from you, but now we know you are retired and working on a new fur style.
ReplyDeleteI have never ridden one or ever will! I rode a ferris wheel ONE TIME and almost died of fright. Ernie looks so cute.. if that ride you liked was only as high as I see in the photo I would do it, but not the sky rides. this one looks like if you fell its not that far unless it fell in the water. I just changed my mind. I am not a thrill seeker for sure. there are a zillion people who love them... I love the merry go round with horses if that counts..
ReplyDeleteErnie looks like a super cool woofie! I used to love roller coasters and not these days! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, OMC and OMD ... even a Merry-Go-Round is NOT for me (much to the dismay of my "kids" when they were "kids") ... even good ole Dramamine was no help at all! Fun to watch the others, a disaster to ride. Always thought my entrance to
ReplyDeleteDisney should be a "freebie", haha.
How wonderful to see Ernie! He looks cute with his mowhawk hair style. That does look like a nice ride to go on. We're glad you finally opened your eyes to see the sights too.
ReplyDeleteErnie is sweet! No roller coasters for our Mom.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed posts about Ernie. Ernie is catching a good cool breeze. So nice to have the ducts in the floor. We have them in the ceiling and it's not the same. Love the mohawk! No roller coasters these days. But the Big Bad Wolf would work!
ReplyDeleteErnie ~ smart and cute doggie ~ no problem with messy hair ~ keep cool ~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Cecilia and Angel Madi ~ ^_^
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Ernie, we love your mohawk....and agree about those wonderful A/C vents!!
ReplyDeleteI also love that you went on that roller coaster C, what a fun story!
xoxo,
Beth, Rosy and Sunny
Ernie, I like being close to those vents too! ~Murphy
ReplyDeleteDid you ever open your eyes on the ride? It sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteErnie is cute. That was a fun story. I used to like rollercoaters, but that was a long time ago. :) XO
ReplyDeleteErnie, you have the perfect spot. Keep being cool!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, roller coasters look like fun, but they are hard on some people, so I just have to watch or ride the "baby coasters," the ones built for kids.
Oh my........my Mom says she has been on the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg too and remembers the part over the water - and whenever they'd make a big turn the seats would to straight out to the side and make you feel like you'd fall out! It was fun THEN but she's not sure it would be the same NOW!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy
Oooh how lovely to see Bertie's old friend Ernie the Attorney. His hairdo is looking splendid. Almost like he'd been on a rollercoaster!
