Virginia - Day 15

Long day today. We got up at 0830. We left and got there around 1030, it opened at 1030, so we got a great parking spot and were one of the first in. 

There were no waits at all! The most we waited was like 10 minutes for a ride. Otherwise we would just walk up and get in empty lines. It was great. We road all of them but one, Huerler. And I didn't ride Flight of Fear. You are at a stand still and then it shots you out going over 60 MPH. No was was I doing that. They also had one like the one in St. Louis (Superman). Where it takes you X amount of feet into the air and just drops you. I did that one with Brandon when we went a few years back. No way in hell was I doing that again. I hate that feeling of weightlessness. Which is why I was a little worried about a few of the rides. Funny how when you are young, nothing seems to bother you. The rush of adrenaline of riding all the rides overpowered your fear of coasters. Then when you get older, you are overcome by the worries of everyday life that coincide with the fear of coasters. I would watch younger kids (like 14) and see how happy they were, with no thoughts of everyday life. They were just living for the moment. Wish I could find that happiness. Here are all the rides we did:

Dominator
Volcano
Grizzly
Rebel Yell
Anaconda
Back Lot Stunt Coaster
Shockwave (You stand up for this one!)
White Water Canyon (like Thunder River)
Avalanche
Log Flume

We had so much fun though. We had dippn' dots and lunch there. I screamed on every ride! It was crazy. The first two we went on were freaky! Volcano you start by going really slow and then they shot you up straight out the volcano at like 60 MPH. Then the rest of the ride you are high flying over everything. Just crazy. 

So tired though. We left around 1500 and got home. We all took showers and I got to see Cade. He was really good in the morning. But after he got up from his afternoon nap, he was crabby. All he wanted was me. Sniff, Sniff. He was fine after I got home. Lastly we all went out to Five Guys (www.fiveguys.com) Burgers. It was great! The burgers sort of taste like Sonic's but they were bigger and you could get a ton of crap on them. Not to mention the fries were great, just like Penn Station fries.
