Okay, it's been too many months since I've updated the ol' picture blog...terribly sorry. To try & makeup, here's a bounty of new images from the September to December. Hope they're amusing...
April, Farah, & I headed to Magic Mt for their opening Halloween theme weekend at the end of September (or maybe it was early October?) Here Farah & I have just finished the Superman ride which is this fantastic J shaped track that you get shot up. At the top of the J, looking down, is Superman. I want to create a vest w/ a built in camera so that I can get some good pictures on these rides. Our sweet April wasn't feeling the best, but fortunately she was back to 100% shortly after this photo.
It was kind of nice that even though it was Sunday, there were almost no lines...our wait times were between 20 min to none-at-all. Makes me a little bit worried about the future of the park, though. Support your local roller coasters! With the lack of lines, we were able to grace almost every ride, including Batman the Ride & the Riddler's Revenge twice. The scariest was Tatsu because you get to be strapped in facing down. I kept thinking this will be the one time the harness mechanisms fail and there will go Pam, careening through the park. Least favorite was Viper, only because the seats don't hold the head proper, so it gets all knocked around. The most amazing was hands down X2, pictured just below. The seat positioning moves all around during the ride, so that the rider experiences many different x,y,z positions while going up to 76mph. And then there's the fire ball...
I think this one's the Viper?
After 6+ hours of roller coaster intenseness, the simpleness of the Carousel was perfect.
Farah & April are Spooky
