Two things I’ve been thinking about. First, how a virtual roller coaster at Universal Studios was far more thrilling than any of the real roller coaster rides. Second, how these theme parks, especially Disneyland, are so vulnerable to attack. There are bag searches and finger print scans, but the bag searches are cursory and there is no attempt to search the person.

In wet or cold weather, when people wear coats, you could get almost anything through security at these theme parks. I’m not talking about terrorists here. More internal elements, especially a repeat of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. It’s not just the ease of smuggling things in though. It’s the concentration of people, especially children, in relatively small spaces. I hope someone out there is thinking about this and ways to prevent such an outrage.
