Summer is...

... fun in the sun!


I just got back from Six Flags Great America! Although a little toasted, stuffed on junk food, and exhausted, I had so much fun spending the day with the Ls and some international students (past, and present).

I love amusement parks, and being in America... Man! Amusement parks here are home to many cool rides and numerous roller-coasters. As a matter of fact, I think I have been on a little too many roller-coasters today that my head is starting to hurt (or was it caused by the heat?). In our 9 hours spent there, I think we covered a good number of rides, ranging from the traditional park attractions to the crazy contraptions that challenges G-force to the max. My favorite rides were Superman (it is a roller-coaster ride with our backs aligned to the ramp and having all fours dangling as if we were flying) and King Chaos (where we flipped madly 360. I could feel my belt moving towards my shoulders and my necklace tickling my nose).

Let's see... I can't remember the exact order but I think I got the first and last ride right.

Columbia Carousel
Batman, the ride
Chubasco M, P, and I shared a cup and we were sliding back and forth being tossed around. We laughed so much till our sides hurt. Minga's cell phone fell out of her pocket, but thank goodness I found it lying on the mat when the ride was over.
Whizzer
Raging Bull
Roaring Rapids What is a day out at the amusement park without getting wet?
Viper
Vertical Velocity I like this ride a lot. We started off immediately in high speed going back and forth. It was really neat.
Triple Play
The Orbit
Superman: The Ultimate Flight
Sky Trek Tower
Giant Drop
Fiddlers' Fling

My throat is sore and I bet I have work to prepare for Thursday since I missed my first class of Human Development and Growth...
(^_^ ;) but it was all worth it! I sure hoped that I could have shared the day with Matthew and Sunil. I know they would have loved it too!
