Scooby Doo

Wow! What a day yesterday was! I went with my family to Fiesta Texas in San Antonio and boy did we pick to wrong day to go! Because it was Spring Break and Good Friday, hundreds of other families that didn't have work or school decided to do what we did and go to the amusement park for the day! Besides the crowds I can't really complain too much because the weather was perfect and the trip was really fun. I myself am not a huge fan of roller coasters- not because I am afraid, but because I have a little thing called motion sickness. So, after riding a couple of coasters, my mom and I called it quits for a while (she isn't a big fan of roller coasters either), and we decided to ride some kiddie rides. Well, we stumbled upon a ride called Scooby Doo and the Haunted Mansion, or something like that, and we thought it would be fun. I have to say this was one of the most crowded attractions and I think that we had to wait about an hour and a half. Needless to say I had a lot of time to stand and think about things while I was waiting in line. First off, I noticed how many children were in line. It made me think about how big and influential Scooby Doo was. I mean, here I am. I grew up with Scooby Doo, watching it everyday as a child. My mom did as well, and I am guessing many of the parents standing in line grew up with Scooby too. There are so many children's books about Scooby and the gang and I don't know a child that doesn't know the Scooby Doo theme song. There are Scooby Doo backpacks, lunch boxes, movies, a T.V. show, coloring books, clothes, and more. Scooby is a hit with kids and I think he still will be in years to come.
