This past Saturday, my sister and I took a min-vacation to Camden Park in Huntington, West Virginia, which is about 3 hours east of Cincinnati.
Camden Park, for those not familiar, is a small family-owned amusement park that was started as a picnic grove at the end of a trolley line in 1903. They have many classic rides.
One of the rides is called Hot Cat, where you go around to whatever tune they happen to choose at the time (I guess the ride op chooses the soundtrack, but I'm not sure, as this is the first time I'd been to Camden).
Much to our surprise, they were playing music from Skillet's latest album.
If you listen closely, you can hear Skillet's "Those Nights" in the background.

I don't ride at the fairs at all anymore. I don't like to puke.

That ride was pretty tame compared to some of the others at the park...

You may want to watch only the end of this one then.

I don't ride coasters that flip you upside down. That's instant pukage for me. I never could handle that stuff.

Those are the most fun. It's not often you get to be upside down.
I rode it 4 times and hardly had to wait since I was a single (the son I was with wouldn't go), and they tried not to let it go with an empty seat. Cha-ching!

When it makes me instantly sick and I really have to throw up (always has), then I don't want to be upside down.
