Tess vs the Roller Coaster

A story produced by UnFictional producer Bob Carlson and his daughter Tess, last year when she was 10. She had always wished she were brave enough to ride a looping roller coaster. Just the thought of riding them made her very anxious. So Tess and her dad spend a day at Six Flags Magic Mountain riding progressively scarier thrill rides.

A story produced by UnFictional producer Bob Carlson and his daughter Tess, last year when she was 10. She had always wished she were brave enough to ride a looping roller coaster. Just the thought of riding them made her very anxious. So Tess and her dad spend a day at Six Flags Magic Mountain riding progressively scarier thrill rides. Just like a roller coaster there were some ups and some downs.

Produced by Tess Carlson, Tina Carlson and Bob Carlson, who is the producer of UnFictional.
