Ride Design

Last week Mom helped us put together a K-nex roller coaster to see if it would be useful to use for the Mine car ride. We don't know if it can be made into something different like Lego's.

We all went to a hobby and toy store to look at stuff that you can build real looking models with. Mom was excited that they had chunks of foam and I thought the bottle of stuff that makes water was really cool. They had books and dvds to teach you about making models and Mom was telling us about different train sizes because she was thinking about the Walt Disney train ride attraction when she saw a special Walt Disney model train. She wants to buy it really bad but we can't buy it right now.

I want to make my Tangled tower a ride, with spinning swings, so I am changing it a little, and Mom started thinking really hard about a ride for Critter Country after we watched a Disney old time movie.

Our tube is nearly finished but we had a a family reunion to go to and we watched my cousin dance. Mom told us we are going back to our school in a few years and we are sad so we took a break from Imagineering. This weekend our cousins are staying with Grandma and Grandpa, so we are excited. One of our cousins has autism. He started playing with my brother like playing tag my brother's favorite game and we are happy. He won't play with my brother but plays next to him and my brother was sad but now he plays tag and my brother is super happy and just can't wait to play with him. He is our age and his sister is going to be in first grade. We love to play and dance and sign she is all normal and funny.

Mom wants to mail the tube before they come incase it gets hurt sometimes our cousin likes to rip things into little bits. My mom says it is what he does. He would rip into even numbers of the same size. We used to have special bricks we played with in the backyard that are shapes and he brock them into same size parts so mom says to finish the poster and send it so we can be safe.

Mom got some fresh Disney books from the library and we read them at night like bedtime stories. She is funny about this stuff. She needs to write the names down but they are Imagineering books. One is about how Imagineers do things and how a guy wrote to an imagineer and the guy wrote back and they wrote back and forth and then he grew up to be an Imagineer. I hope when we write Imagineers write us back and are nice to us and help us figure things out. This guy wrote about his robotic parrot he made and i think this will be my brother. I am an artist, my brother is the robotics and construction guy. Great-grandpa gave him a real tool box when he was just  5 and my brother actually used it for real. He still does. He builds stuff, and won a Lego contest and had his picture in a magazine. He is really good at this stuff. He will do the robotics. Mom wants him to make the Mine car ride and she will help. She has made robots before. I am the artist and my mom is really excited. So i hope that Disney writes back and forth with us and they like us for real.
