Last Saturday I spent all day at Kings Island or Paramount's Kings Island as its now called. I confess I haven't been to King's Island in about 15 years. My aunt's company picnic was being held there and the tickets were free, as was a picnic lunch, so I figured what the hell.  I don't know how many of you have been to Kings Island lately but all the rides are now labeled by their "thrill" level. The Effel Tower has a "mild" thrill level while the Sling Shot, a contraption that flings crazy people who have a death wish AND an extra twenty bucks to spend, 260 feet into the air, has an "extreme" thrill level.  When we arrived my uncle told me about a ride that he liked called the Adventure Express. He said it wasn't scary at all and wasn't a roller coaster of any kind. So all of us, Me, Mom, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, and Nieces hoped on the Adventure Express. True to his word the Adventure Express was not a roller coaster but nor did it have a "mild" thrill level, which I forgot to check before hopping blindly into the car.  Once we'd been securely fastened inside, the Adventure Express took off like a shot, or more accurately a runaway train. We were whipped this way and that and while there weren't any steep drop offs or high hills, I felt like I'd been put inside a blender. I spent the entire time, which was only a few minutes, hunched down low in my seat with my eyes closed holding on for dear life. I was sure if I let go I'd be flung out of the car out into the park someplace or possibly even outer space. Once the ride came to a blissful stop, I got off looking like I'd stuck my finger in a light socket. My hair looked like I'd combed it with an egg beater and my eyes were glazed.  Needless to say I didn't get on any more rides that day. I spent the rest of the day moving from bench to bench and watching everybody else's stuff while they rode.  As for the Adventure Express's "thrill" level, I'm embarrassed to say it was labled an "intermediate" thrill one step above "mild", which isn't good when my own personal thrill level is 'Low". Oh well, I guess I remember now why I haven't been to Kings Island in fifteen years.

Hey, you can get a special hardcover edition of The Company You Keep from Black Expressions Books Club. I've seen it and it looks really good.

I'm with you. My personal thrill level is "minuscule". I wouldn't like that ride either.

Great! I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one. LOL! ;)

Hey Angela, I remember visiting King's Island in my younger days. Loads of funs. Backwards rollercoasters, stand-up roller coasters. One of my favorite theme parks...behind Cedar Point, of course. :)

Cydney-I rode that backwards roller coaster years ago! I think it was called the Screamin'Demon. The name was appropriate cause I screamed my ass off. To this day I don't know what possessed me to get on that ride.
