What's a good way to keep WARM?
A lightning rod (or lightning protector) is a metal strip or rod, usually of copper or similar conductive material, used as part of lightning safety to protect tall or isolated structures (such as the roof of a building or the mast of a vessel) from lightning damage. A lightning rod is connected via a low-resistance wire or cable to the earth or water below, where the charge may be safely dissipated. Lightning rods sometimes possess a short circuit to the ground that is interrupted by a thin non-conductor over which lightning jumps. Ideally, the underground part of the assembly should reside in a muddy area, or an area that tends to become so during storms. If the underground cable will resist corrosion well, it may be covered in salt to improve its electrical connection with the ground. Electricity travels along the path of least resistance, so an object outside the critical distance is unlikely to be struck by the leader if there is a grounded object within the critical distance. Noting this, locations that are safe from lightning can be determined by imagining a leader's potential paths as a sphere that travels from the cloud to the ground.
I haven't been to Kings Dominion so I can't help you with that but for the fear of the ride, I'm a 13 yr old girl as well and I'm super wimpy when it comes to roller coasters, but this year I'm gonna go on loads. Anyway, what helps for me is if you know what kinda rides are in this theme park (like Anaconda in this case) look at loads of videos of rides a little scarier (or a good bit scarier) than that one and think of ways you could get on scarier ones (even if you're not gonna get on them or you don't even know where they are) then when you go to Anaconda that will seem wayyy less scary cos you're trying to build up courage to go on something even 10 times worse. Also when you're there build up to that coaster, start small so you get all pumped :)
