Nothing Much Else Happened: June 17, 1978

★ Highlight Day

Today we went to Knott's Berry Farm. I rode the Propeller Spin, the Corkscrew, the Sky Jump, the Calico train, the Log Ride and the Loop Trainer. But the best ride of all was MONTEZOOMA'S REVENGE! And I went on it! On opening day! 0 to 55 in 5 seconds, a full 360˚ loop, all the way up to the equivalent of a 15-story building, and then the whole thing again — backwards! I made a mistake of putting my head down to look at my hat (which I was sitting on) and couldn't get it back up again! I missed the whole first part of the ride!

What's this all about? This is what it's all about.
