Off to the show

We're planning to take nephew Patrick to the Royal Agricultural (Easter) Show in Sydney tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be happy with the more tame rides (as long as it's not the Ghost Train) rather than the Mega Drop, No Limit or Extreme Speed. Although I'm sure it's perfectly safe to send an 11-year-old on to those by themselves. Otherwise how is he going to be able to give us a "spew factor" reading. (Gulp) Disneyland teacups are more my style - although I've been told that they're not as sedate as you'd think! And certainly "Mission: Space" at Walt Disney World seems to be even less so after a 49-year-old woman died a day after riding. Hers marks the second death in less than a year related to the Epcot ride. Apparently the ride is so intense that riders have been treated for chest pain - and it has sickness bags. The woman fell ill after her ride and was taken to hospital but her condition worsened, and she died.
