Finally went on the Harry Potter Coaster!
« on: November 18, 2011, 11:53:52 AM »
Two years ago I wanted to ride a coaster but I was WAY too big to fit in the seats. So when I started on my FTS adventure I set a goal of being able to ride the new Harry Potter coaster, which is known to have really tiny seats. I should have gone sooner but with my ankle issues I had to wait a bit. This morning was the morning and I rode the Hogwarts coaster!! It was awesome and there was plenty of room in the seat! I also rode the Dragon Challenge and those seats were super TINY!! There is no way I could have even gotten a leg in that puppy before FTS! So I posted a ton of pictures on my Facebook but I wanted to share a few here with my FTS family.  Below there is one with my wonderful, amazing husband Dan right after riding the coaster, one of me in front of Hogwarts before I rode the coaster. I am SO THRILLED to be able to do these kinds of things now! Thank you Doug and Umpa for bringing FTS to me and changing my world!

Thanks everyone for all your kind words! I am so happy to have finally reached that goal. I haven't been on a coaster in 15+ years and it was so fun! FTS is amazing!! I would hate to think what I would be like today if I hadn't have seen Doug's smiling face on Amazon that day. :)
