Raging fun at Raging Waters

Yesterday, for the YMCA field trip of the week, we went to Raging Waters. There, it’s like, water every where.

The first ride that we went on, was not exactly, a ride; it was a part of a gigantic water playground. The ride, went down, then to the right, and SPLASHHHHHHH! And water comes over your face. We did that a couple of times.

Then we started the real rides. The first one was called the Black Hole! As you know, black holes are black, because it absorbs everything, so even the light can’t come out. You have to go on a two person tube, to go on the ride.

First, you go in a couple of cork screws but thankfully it is not pitch dark there. It has a couple of lights every few feet.Then there is an opening on the side and AHHHHHHHHHHH, you go down…, then you land in a shallow pool, where you pass your tube to the next person in the line. May be it was called Dark Hole, it seemed like Black hole to me.

The next ride that we went on, was called Raging Racers.

In raging racer, you are sitting on a mat, head first, and you race down huge curves on a water slide. And at the bottom there was one that water shot out of the ground, and I thought the ride was over. But there was one more curve and I was not ready for it… so I went AHHHHHHHHH!

This ride was different from the others, because you had to sit in raft, which would carry five people. In this ride, we went on turns and if your back was faced to the wall, the raft, would be partially on the wall. In this ride, I was sitting with Lilly, Audrie, and a councellor named Berlyn.

Then it was the Dragon’s Den!

In this ride, there was one down side; there was an extremely long line to get on this one.

First, you are on the top; you go straight a little bit and then down in to a tunnel…AHHHHHHHHHH! Then you go inside this place and it circles around and then you go in to a smaller place and in to a small waterfall, and land inside a shallow pool; and sometimes the life guard pours water on you.

Isn’t it funny, he is supposed to save us, but he is pouring water on us using his megaphone!!!!

This was not a ride; it was an obstacle course. I tried to cross it, but my hands hurt, and the person before me kept swinging the rope, so I couldn’t get on to the next pad. So I fell in the water; but it was pretty shallow, so I could walk across.

I would give four “AHHHHHHH’ to black hole, I would give three AHHHHHHs to raging racers and four AHHHHHHs to thunder rapids, and three AHHHHHs to Dragon’s Den!

Whoooo, that’s a lot of AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHs.

It was a raging fun outing; perfect for a hot summer day in Southern California.

Here is my Wordle : tags and words in my blog

Wordle is like a tag cloud; it takes the text from my blog and shows which word is used most often and scales it.

Doesn’t work too well, because it didn’t capture everything important from my blog, but it looks pretty.

First, you have to touch the screen and bubbles automatically appear. Then, you can try to pop them or just watch them fall to the bottom.

Colossal Fun at Colossus ride : Six Flags Magic Mountain Park Visit

[Click on the picture below for a better, full and scary view.]

I went on this roller coaster! Can you believe that?

I didn’t think this was going to be very scary, but trust me, I was terrified! Look at how huge and how high this thing is!

But after lots of ups and down, I felt good and excited. It was worth it! I was so scared that my throat was completely dry! I was so scared that I even screamed on the little bumps because I thought they were the “BIG ONES”, so I screamed ahead to prepare myself. And then after, I thought, “ohh.. that wasn’t big..” and then it stopped in the middle, and I thought it was done. By the time I had asked my seat mate, I was already at the next drop.

And what do you think, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…hhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

But over all, this roller coaster was awesome!

I also went to some other interesting rides, like Ninja

This ride was fun! Because it wasn’t like a regular coaster where you go on top of a track, but here you hang from the track and it makes very sharp turns. It’s little bit weird in the begening, because this guy keeps saying..

“have a good ride. Heiya….” like a little kung-fu Ninja…

We had to walk up a big hill to get there.

After that was Gold Rusher:

This was mild compared to others. It went fast, but it didn’t drop much; but it really had fun sharp turns like you see in the picture here. This would be a good ride to go to for your first roller coaster ride.

My favorite ride was the Log Jammer. It was fun, because you got wet! You will be floating in a log and you will be pulled up a little and then you will be going down two drops! The first one is kind of small, kind that gets you refreshed and alert and then the second one takes your breath away.
