Bolter and Grusin 160-195

I enjoyed reading Chapter 10, especially the part about amusement parks. When I think about remediation, I never thought to include a place like Disney World, but once Bolter and Grusin explained it, it seemed to make perfect sense. I have been to Disney World three times at different points in my life. Once when I was three, a second time when I was 13, and lastly when I was 16. At all three times, the highlight of my trip was seeing Tigger. At those times I could "meet" Tigger, get his autograph, and get my picture taken with him. Also, the first and last times I have been to Disney World, my grandmother has been with me and enjoyed herself just as much as any child. Both times we have gone, she has bought me a Tigger stuffed animal and acted just like a kid; much like the Disney World commercials that are running now. The highlight of my grandmother's trip the last time was riding the Aerosmith roller coaster. She was one of very few 62-year-old women listening to Aerosmith and going upside down on a roller coaster, but she enjoyed it more and more each time. What she liked about this roller coaster was that even though we had to wait in line a long time, there are different parts in the line that tell a story and get you ready for the reason for the roller coaster. Basically, you are the limo driver and Aersomith is running late for a performance.
Also, I used to go to Paramount's Kings Dominion at least once a year until I graduated from high school. My favorite ride was The Hurler because it is a roller coaster based on the movie Wayne's World. I enjoyed this ride so much because it made me feel like I was a part of the movie. Also, the section of the park where The Hurler is located has the car that Garth drove and the donut shop where Wayne and Garth eat in the movie.
All of this is very immediate and transparent to me. I am there with the movie characters I love in their environment and it feels so real that I get lost in it.
