Day 3- Roller Coasters!

WORDS


IT'S MORE REUBO, FOOLS!!!

Sorry we are behind, but yesterday we were too tired and way coaster... ified... to write a blog. Or maybe I forgot. Whatever.

So we left in the morning to go to Vallejo, where Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is located. We waited in the torturous line of cars to get to the parking lot. We then walked back the long sidewalk to the park, waited in the torturous security lines, and waited in the torturous ticket lines. Meanwhile, all around us, everybody else was having WAY too much fun on the roller coasters. Oh how I longed to get in... *sniff* Then, it turned out that we weren't supposed to be in the standard ticket line because we had these prepaid card things, so we had to wait in another line. THEN we finally got in, and rode the green (Or yellow? Maybe it's just grellow) roller coaster, Medusa. It was way fun. There was this huge loop, and a zero-g roll, and a bunch of other corkscrews and half loops to keep us entertained. Next was Kong, which is this really shaky inverted coaster. It was fun because your feet kept dangling near the supports and it felt like they might get cut off. The ride was not smooth at all though, so we didn't go on again for a while. Since we had no obligation to ride all the rides in one day, (Our card thingy lets us come back another day) we just split up and rode stuff independantly. I also ate a really good sno-cone. It was so good that I wrote two sentences about it. We left after a while. And then we did stuff. IT WAS ALL A BLUR but somehow I came out with two volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist and some leftover pizza. Also Esquire got 4 books: Jinx on the Divide, Fablehaven, The Seventh Tower Volumes 1-3, Ranger's Apprentice #3 AND Greenwitch with the cooler looking American cover! So I guess whatever happened probably was pretty good. Although the American cover for Harry Potter #7 (and all the other HP books) looked kinda bad, I mean, on HP 4 Harry was smiling, even though he's in grave danger during the book.

Then we slept.

Did you actually go on "Kong". Looks like it's designed just to make one sick. ugh.
