Mini coaster

Our kids -- like us -- are not big roller coaster fans. They thought the mini coastr in Toon Town at Disneyland was a little too much -- and the Matterhorn was definitely too much. The slight drop at the beginning of Pirates of the Carribean is more their speed.

So we were pretty surprised when they declared the mini coaster at Discovery Kingdom a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure all the screaming you hear is from Katye and cousin Leann.



As usual, higher quality version on YouTube. (I shot the video on my Canon point-and-shoot as the Nikon D90 did not accompany us to the amusement park, in case you're wondering.)

This is the first video we've uploaded through the Mac port of Picasa, which is now available in beta. We were big fans of Picasa on Windows, and though iPhoto is very similar, there are definitely things we miss about Picasa -- mostly to do with the tight integration with Google's Picasa Web Albums and YouTube. Uploading videos via Picasa sure beats doing it over their Web based uploader.

(You need 3.0.1.321 or later -- the first beta they published a few days ago never successfully uploaded to YouTube.)
