...or you can take my path and just sit there in the seat and
enjoy the sensation of flying in a circle through the skies.
Rocking and its uncontrollable feeling has never been a favorite of
mine so my flights on the Amara Aviator were relaxing and tame while
Bond went out of his way to work it.
We were visiting Lost Island with a bunch of fellow American Coaster
Enthusiast members as the North Central Region for an unofficial get
together. At one point during the afternoon we all took over the
Amara Aviators for a "fly off" competition.
The rules for the competition were pretty simple entertain the North
Central Regions representative Tom Nickerson.
With the goal being entertainment I strapped into the Amara Aviator
ready to win the competition. Unfortunately my selection of show
tunes that were sung with much gusto and little talent failed to impress
the judge who choose someone who make their pod loop over and over.
Maybe I should have chosen some of the music from "The Music Man" over
the Sinatra ("Fly Me To The Moon") that I belted out while circling in
the skies over Lost Island. Oh well, it is all is not about
winning or loosing but having fun doing it.
