After yesterday's nauseating start with Space Mountain. I thought I would be much wiser this morning. So on our way to the Animal Kingdom, I take my dramamine on the way inside the park. My little IPhone app is telling me there is already a 30 minute wait on the Everest Expedition, so I figure I have plenty of time for the dramamine to kick in. We get to Everest and they're reporting a 10 minute wait. No problem, I think to myself. It's an open air roller coaster and I'm sure it won't bother me as much as Space Mountain did yesterday because Space Mountain is all in the dark and Everest is an outdoor coaster.

So even though it's only been about 20 minutes since I've taken the dramamine, I figure everything is hunky dorry and I'll be good to go. We start off up the hill and go around a couple of corners and come to a dead end where the track has been torn up. We stop and I figure that the torn up track will lift out of the way and we'll continue down the hill. Wrong. We stop and then all of a sudden, we take off backwards through a tunnel in total blackness. Okay, so this is like Space Mountain only there is no light and we're going backwards.

My entire system goes into immediate overload as I try and orient myself in the darkness. Lily is screaming in utter joy besides me and I'm screaming in terror praying I don't throw up all over her. I slam my eyes shut, hoping that somehow the wind will help my body gain its balance. No use. All I can do now is hang on until the ride's merciful ending. Luckily, once again I don't throw up but I am out of commission for the next couple of hours. We take a nice gentle ride on the Kali Rapids but I refuse to go on the Everest Expedition after that.

Maybe tomorrow we can play miniture golf .
