Good memories.

I do not like being too scared - which is the reason I don't do Halloween Horror Nights or It's Tough to Be a Bug (well, I did HHN once, and I haven't done ITTBB in years).

(well, it usually sounds good - I was on the HM with Kevin S. during the RADP meet and we had such terrible sound in our buggy!) But all those screams surprised me, I don't think of the HM as a screaming type ride (unless someone pops out unexpectedly).
