Farewell, Big Bad Wolf

The world’s first suspended roller coaster, which debuted in 1984 at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, will give the final ride through its artificial Bavarian village on Sept. 7, 2009.

The Big Bad Wolf has been the first "real roller coaster" ride for three of my four children, as the suspended car gives a feeling of enclosure and an illusion of security that aids the very young to be "very brave." Curled up next to Mom or Dad, hiding one's face down in the car, little guys can do anything...

Too bad little EL isn't going to make it. She won't even brave the Grover coaster in the new Sesame Street Forest of Fun yet...
