Child-Like Dream

What’s a weird idea you had as a kid? Something that only a kid would make up?

When I was little, I remember going to this big buffet with my family. I don’t remember the name of it, but it was wide and green. The food was down the middle with a lot of seating on either side.

My brother and I got into a conversation about what kind of restaurant we would make. We decided it would have to be a buffet like this, but it would have a milk bar like in The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask with a stage for a band to play.

It would also have roller coasters.

On one end of the restaurant would be a red dragon roller coaster that zoomed outside the restaurant and “duel” a blue dragon roller coaster located on the other side of the restaurant. This was based off the no-longer-with-us “Dueling Dragons” roller coaster that used to reside in Universal Studios Florida. (we loved that coaster. I lost count of how many times we went on it).

My brother would be in charge of the red dragon coaster and I would be in charge of blue. We’d keep competition of how many people rode each.

So, a giant buffet, a milk bar, a band stand, and roller coasters. That was our restaurant. I don’t even remember it’s name. But, it was definitely something only a couple of kids could come up with. A child-like dream.
