    Interesting photo. I must admit I'm really scared of roller-coasters!

    Good take on 'R'. :)
    I too am slightly scared of those loops.

    Great "R" word, Ann... That is a huge roller coaster... I used to ride those things --when I was young and less fearful!!!! ha

    I'm not sure if that is one roller coaster or several, but I think I would enjoy spending a day there doing some riding.

    Wow. This whole scene looks like one big jumble - definitely not for the faint of heart!

    I recall the jarring involved when being whipped around in a roller coaster. I do admire you for wanting to give it a try!

    Great shot of the roller coaster. I was stuck on the top of one as a child when it broke which has made me nervous about riding them ever since.

    Perfect choice for the letter R. I use to love Roller Coasters as a kid, not so much now.
    You asked what radiant was on my post. The glass capsules each had a very large beatle (dead) on display. I have never seen anything so big as they were.
    Thanks for asking.

    Wow. How colorful, inviting, and frightening all at the same time.

    ps: the people opposite the "hôtel of the wolves" were waiting for the guide to explain about the architecture of the building before visiting the yard!
    We were not allowed to visit inside the building,alas!
