His friends remind Zak that there are things he likes now that were new once upon a time. Zak takes a chance and tastes Ord's cheesy log. He doesn't like it very much. He tries a frozen banana, which he likes even less, and then a corn-cob-on-a-stick, which he loves! After thinking about it, he decides to give the new rides a shot, too. They start on a few of the tamer ones, and eventually Zak works his way up to... The Skipper!
