I thoroughly agree. Its bad news for amusement park operators, though -
their rides are rather unimpressive once you're used to winching.

Yes, I've used the "you just sit there and have something
done to you" argument too, and it *is* working. On Saturday
I took my daughter on a ride that whirled you around from 5'
to maybe 100' and flipped you upside down occasionally.
She thought it wasn't worth the £5.

I've also tried to dissuade her from flying; since she's had
the experience of spins, loops, chandelles, there's clearly
nothing left for her to do. That *isn't* working.
