There was a time when we did not know how large groupes of people would react
to our students in public. So we took a group to Kinds dominion to preform a few
expermints. We found that the main reaction to doing the splits between the hand
rails -- while waiting in line for the Hurler -- is only a few awkward stares.
It turns out that most people don't even notice that we are exchangin a flurry
of mock attacks while wondering between rides. Hardly anyone noticed that we were
bowing to the camera on that first big drop.
The high points of our trip included such things as having to hold Joanna in
the Rebel Yell (or she would have flown out!) and Sending Meline, Suzie and
Me on the Extreme Flyer. I leaned two things from that ride -- Suzie is not
scared of anything and Mel is freakishly strong.
Overall our trip to Kings Dominion was a success, While I am not sure that
the Public in general is ready for wushu students, they did not reject us out
right. However Keye did seem to baffel them with his softball-basket-toss skills.
