and here's the proof

Yes, they actually got me back on a roller coaster for the first time in 13 years (and without really trying, too). The coaster was the California Screamin', which is actually a very nicely balanced one, in having a little something for everyone. One good 0-G drop from hell (the part I *really* hate, and the reason I don't ride coasters normally), some good banking curves (which I *DO* like), that don't bounce your head all over the place, one decent loop, and a few rare features like having an music sound-track in the car and a gaussian magnetic launcher instead of the typical "clack clack clack" that drives me nuts.

The pic was taken between two rounds of the banking curves, hence the look on my face. If taken at the top of the first hill, it would have shown a seriously phobic-ified crankyboy.
