20.4 - GOLDEN OLDIES - Sara G's task: Roller Coasters

Every year, one of my favorite summer activities is going to amusement parks and riding roller coasters. There's nothing better than spending a hot summer afternoon on thrill rides with friends and family, and after dark some of the rides are even better. I live in central Florida so we have quite a few fun options here.

This is a one book task. Choose one option from those below and read one book that fits that task.

Required: State which option you used when you post.

Option 1: Busch Gardens Tampa
Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida has some of the world's top roller coasters and the park is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. (It's also my favorite of these three parks!) Read a book with the number "60" intact in the page count.

Option 2: Universal Studios Orlando
A new Harry Potter themed roller coaster is opening at Universal Studios Orlando this summer and I plan to be one of the first to ride it! It's called Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. In honor of this new ride and its magical creatures theme, read a book with the main page genre (MPG) Animals.

Option 3: Disney World
Of course, our most famous theme park here in Florida is Disney World. My favorite roller coaster there is called Expedition Everest in Disney's Animal Kingdom. On that ride, you travel up to Mount Everest's base camp and encounter the elusive Yeti. Read a book with a title of 3 or more words where the initial letter of each word in the title can be found in EXPEDITION EVEREST. Subtitles should be ignored.

Approved for MPG Animals:

Watership Down
Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl
Fat Cat At Large

OFF TOPIC

I'd love to hear about Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. We're going to Universal Studios last week in July, and then WDW in August. Expedition Everest is my favorite too.

It looks like it's going to be so much fun! We're going to be at Universal Studios next week and again at the end of June, so even if it breaks down or has any issues opening on time, I'm definitely riding it.

Could I get Watership Down noted for MPG Animals?

I don't really expect it to slip off the main page, but could you verify the genre Animals for Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl please?

Noted, enjoy!

Can I get Jonathan Livingston Seagull locked in for MPG Animals?

Nevermind, it's already fallen off after two days

Would How to Moon a Cat count for MPG Animals? It has genre:

Animals > Cats

Thanks!

Sorry Aprilleigh - I just now saw your post and it's definitely not on the main page at this point :(

No biggie, I have others I can use for that option, and I have other places I can use this book.
