Florida father was impressed his daughter chose a horror ride. Then he remembered one thing: ‘It builds character’

Justin Smith, a Florida-based photographer who posts under the handle @vi2midnite on TikTok and SmittyBlendz on Instagram, recently shared a hilarious peek into his family’s fair outing that has gone viral. With 6.2 million views on TikTok and 9.9 million views on Instagram, his story poses a question: how much of a thrill-seeker are you, if you don’t know what you are getting into?

His post is a video montage of his young daughter’s journey through a horror-themed attraction on a fairground. It starts with her excited for the ride, grinning as she waits, even though she is the only person on the train. However, once that train pulls into the horror attraction, with just her, his wife laughed nervously and asked, “She’ll be okay?” He responded, “I don’t know!” and laughed. “It builds character. Hey, she asked to do it. I mean, I haven’t heard her scream yet.”
