Formula For FunRight now, I sound like a toad. As if my normal voice doesn't sound horrible enough already. But yes, a toad. No I'm not sick. The word you're looking for here, is "Wonderland"...
So a few of us have planned this for weeks. We originally wanted to go on the 2nd week of June so there'd be less people, but unfortunately due to some difficulties we couldn't. Changes after changes, it was finally confirmed to be yesterday. Truth to be told, I was very excited about it; I looked forward to it more than any other year before, possibly due to the shitty days I've been having lately - I just needed something to cheer me up BIG TIME. Anyway, everyone first met up at my house, & then Keith drove us all there (thanks again man!!). We got to the park around 10:45, & since we already got our tickets beforehand (now's the time to thank Jenn), we didn't have to wait long before getting in. I was told that
"Tomb Raider" has the longest lineup (as it's the newest addition), so I suggested we go there first. And we did. After 35 minutes or so (which wasn't TOO bad), we got on. And when we came down, we were all in pain. xP I, for one, managed to hit my head against some metal pole that was supposed to be a guard of some kind. It hurt - I could hear myself say "ow" despite the noisy winds generated by the ride. There's actually a bump there now, which I don't necessarily enjoy. =P The others, on the other hand, either hurt their ears or their chins. It was just a dangerous ride in general. Plus, it wasn't that great, all of us left unsatisfied...
Next we went on
"Top Gun", since it was right next to "Tomb Raider". Now if my memory serves me correct, that was the longest line we've had for the whole day - I'd say about an hour or so. But it wasn't half-bad; we chatted throughout, pretty much non-stop, about absolutely anything. That's also when I shocked everybody by proposing my "foreplay" analogy (lol I know you all loved it!! =P). The ride was pretty much the same as usual, although it did get us a lil bit more psyched since "Tomb Raider" was just ass.
After the 2 rides, it was already time to eat. So we grabbed some oily, overpriced pizzas & ate. That didn't take long, but damn I could feel myself burning under the boiling hot sun. Then we went on
"Vortex", which surprisingly, had a very short line that just kept moving. So we got on in no time, & man, it was awesome. Somehow it was better than I remembered it to be...actually, better than it's ever been for me. Loved it, moved on to
"The Fly", funny/hilarious as always (long story behind that one). Then we decided it was time to get wet. So we started lining up for
"White Water Canyon". Geex, was that a stupid choice. Apparently, the scorching sunny weather we were having was hardly indication of what's to come next. By the time we got on, the sky was already all covered with clouds. And to make things worse, none of us had any idea how cold the water was UNTIL we were soaked by it. That's when we knew we were in trouble, & thanks to my lovely friends who all conspired to get ME wet, I did. Man it was cold...but I handled okay. The others were freezing though, & since I brought a jacket along with me, I decided to give it to Carmen as a gentleman gesture...=P After that painful experience we immediately dropped the thought of going on to
"Timberwolf Falls", which we were all grateful for, I'm sure. So we went on a few other rides instead, & for
"SkyRider", we took two separate coasters so the 4 of us could all try sitting in the very first seats (stands??). It was one kick-ass ride.
Nothing though, could beat
"The Bat". It's always been my favourite, & every year I'd pray to get on to the very back for the ultimate experience. But since where you sit really depends on the people who got on before you, it really is a game of luck. And LUCKILY (wow when was the last time luck was on my side??), Jenn & I got to sit at the back. I could feel the excitement building up in me right then & there. And I came down feeling like I had a mini-orgasm (lol). It was just so fucking awesome. Even Jenn couldn't stop talking about how great it was. I'd do anything to have another go.
After that the 4 of us separated, Keith & Cars wanted their lil kiddy rides =P, so Jenn & I were left alone to brave the
"Drop Zone" It was good, but nothing spectacular. Not to mention it was already raining when we went up. Next we did
"Night Mares" just for the heck of it. And then we went on our very last ride,
"Cliffhanger". The rain was pouring by then, but it didn't dim our spirits. And since it was the very last ride of the day (the park was closing), I think they made the program a bit longer just for us. It was the longest one I've ever been on & despite the dirty water that kept pouring back onto us, it was fantastic. I really enjoyed it this year, even though it was freezing (literally we were all shivering) & I couldn't wait to get back to the car. =P
We were all starving when we got out, so we sped to Kelsey's for dinner. Interestingly enough, there was one right beside the park, so we went there instead of the one near my house (as originally planned). The food was good, & I was actually hungry enough to finish everything (& then some). Knowing my insatiable appetite, my friends weren't surprised...but I was. =P Damn how do I get to stay so skinny??
The day still wasn't over though. Next we headed back to my house & I gave my friends a tour of the new place. I didn't expect them to stay, really, since they all had plans the day after. But they did. And I'm glad they did. We had fun watching an hour of CSI, & again, making jokes about everything. Finally we took some dumb pictures (which I need to see after they've been developed) & called it a day.
And now I would like to thank my friends who gave me such a wonderful experience (ha no pun intended). It's nice to be reminded that I still have a lot of things to be thankful for. Weee. =)
P.S. Somewhere between rides we had funnel cake. And despite the fact that I hate strawberries, it was still orgasmic. It was way too small though.
