This is actually pretty entertaining to watch. A lot of teenagers show up acting completely fearless, talking about how easy it is going to be, and how they cannot wait to get up there. Then, takeoff starts, and you suddenly see a very different expression on their faces for the first few seconds. What usually happens next is that they settle in quickly and start enjoying themselves. By the time they land, many of them are asking if they can go again. Crews see this pattern all the time. Some teens become quiet once they are airborne because they are taking in the views, while others come down talking nonstop about everything they saw. The confidence is often real, but there is still a natural moment of uncertainty when they realize they are actually hundreds of feet above the water. Parents are often the ones worrying beforehand, while the teenagers end up adapting almost immediately.
