Plot
A new ride opens at Wonder World, The Hurl-a-Whirl, and Arthur and Buster are eager to ride it. However, D.W. wants to go too. Arthur and Buster know it would be bad enough with D.W., but her imaginary friend, Nadine wants to come along. Arthur fears that Nadine will be too scared, and the park will have to stop the ride for her. Trying to save himself the embarassment, Arthur and Buster test D.W. to see if she is ready to ride it. D.W. passed their tests, nearly flawlessly. In a last ditch effort, Arthur tells D.W. that Nadine looks sick. D.W., agrees with him, and Nadine stays home. At the park, Arthur confesses that he made it up, and D.W. wanted to go back and get Nadine. Then, dad, said he saw Nadine in the trunk of the car, so problems would be resolved. In the park, D.W. doesn't ride the Hurl-a-Whirl after all, and she tells Arthur that Nadine wants to be his friend.
