The Griffon Roller Coaster at Busch Gardens Europe, Williamsburg, Virginia

Somewhere in the back of Todd's brain the song "I'm Too Sexy" started playing and he started to work Griffon's catwalk like a catwalk in a fashion show.

The scariest part of going to the top of Griffon's lift hill was going down. You see the stairway between the car and the catwalk is a steel grate stairway and you can see down past your feet to the ground so very far below. I didn't notice it coming up because I as looking up but on the way down I took my first step and my fear of heights roared up and I had to stop for a second and take a deep breath and ignore the fact that gravity does not respect me and at this height if I fell it'd be my last moments of airtime.

Here's one last view of Griffon from up high. What a beautiful ride, I couldn't wait to ride.

While the two other groups took their turns wandering around a couple hundred feet above us we got to go and check out Griffon's maintenance shop including getting up and close with the underside of one of the trains.
