hopefully they can get to a real roller coaster in the near future.

(Good thing it didn't have a loop in it!)

I let them design their own coaster on Roller Coaster Tycoon and then they would ride their own creations.

This brings back some great memories.

Thanks for sharing.

Usually kids under 11 or 12 are too small to ride on a real roller coaster. This is a lucky girl indeed.

Mine was a lot like that. Over the years he's turned into something of a right-wing curmudgeon, sadly.

Still witty and creative though.

Thanks for posting this. So sweet.

Of course we barely had a tv, so he couldn't make it interactive, but he'd put me in a laundry basket and it would be a spaceship, a Tilt-O-Whirl, a train, whatever. He was so good to me, and I absolutely adored him. Still do, actually, one of my favorite people in the world. I love all my siblings, but I'll never forget how he treated me with such kindness and love when I was growing up. I thought he was superman.
