This one is cool! I loved it. Once you're on the rollercoaster, it's like you're in a TIE fighter or something.

This is my favorite ride. They play music on the ride and the first time I rode, Frank Sinatra crooned, "Come Fly With Me." It was incredibly relaxing. It's a smooth ride and the view is terrific. On hot days (and Dallas gets hot!), the breeze up there feels wonderful. Only scary if one is afraid of heights.

This was the ride that showed me I was too old for these rides. My spleen is still in a different location owing to Kingda Ka.
