GREAT ADVENTURE THEME PARK; NEW JERSEY
I AM NOT REALLY SURE WERE TO BEGIN WITH THIS, IT ALL IS A WHITISH BLURE IN MY MIND. BUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE CHANGED MY LIFE IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. ALL EVENTS ARE TRUE…NO KIDDING THIS TIME.
THE FOUR OF US TOOK THE DAY OFF AND DROVE TO GREAT ADVENTURE. WE DO IT ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR. KARMA AND HER BOYFRIEND ACCUMPANIED MY BOYFRIEND SASHA AND I. WE GOT THERE WHEN THE PARK OPENED AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE NEWEST RIDE “SUPERMAN”. WE SAT IN LINE FOR AN HOUR IN THE HOT SUN. TOO HOT. WE WERE ALMOST AT THE GATE WHEN THE RIDE LOCKED UP. THE PEOPLE WERE HELD IN A LAYING POSSITION, COMFERTABLE. 5 MINUTES LATER THE RIDE STARTED UP AND FINNISHED SUCCESSFULLY. WE DIDN’T FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG WITH IT, ALL WE WANTED WAS TO GET ON AND GET OUT OF THE SUN. AFTER OUR RIDE FINNISHED, IT WAS NOT WORTH THE HOUR WE SPENT IN LINE.
WE SPENT THE DAY GOING FROM ROLLER COASTER TO ROLLER COASTER HAVING A BALL. KARMA’S BOYFRIEND TOLD US THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME IN A THEME PARK. HE WAS RELUCTANT TO COME BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF HEIGHTS. I ASSURED HIM THAT THE RIDES WERE SAFE AND THAT I WAS AFRAID OF HEIGHTS ALSO. HE ALSO TOLD US THAT ONE OF HIS FRIENDS LOST HIS WIFE AND KID ON A ROLLER COASTER. THE FELL OUT TO THEIR DEATH. THEN WE WERE ON THE DISCUSSION OF THE THEME PARK DOWN SOUTH THAT WAS IN THE NEWS. IT SEEMS A RIDE SHUT DOWN FOR 3 HOURS, TRAPPING THE PEOPLE ON IT ALSO. SCARY.
IT WAS 6 O’CLOCK AND WE WERE GOING TO GET ON BATMAN AND ROBIN. THIS WAS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES. THE RIDE ONLY LASTS 1 MINUTE, BUT THE JULT IS INTENCE. WITH OUR PREMERE PASS WE AVOIDED THE LINES AND WENT UP THE BACK. THERE WAS A LARGE LINE OF OTHERS WHO PAID THE $50.00 EXTRA DOLLARS FOR THE SURVISE. YOU MAKE THE RESERVATION AT THE ENTRANCE AND IT POSTS A TIME FOR YOU TO GET ON, THUS, YOU AVOID WAITING IN THE LINE UNDER THE HOT SUN.ANYWAYS, THE WHOLE LINE WAS IN AN UPROAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS RIDE WAS TAKING SO LONG TO GET ON. OUR RESERVATION TOOK 2 &1/2 HOURS BEFORE WE COULD GET ON. THIS WAS STRANGE; ALL THE OTHERS TOOK 30 MINUTES. EVERYONE ELSE SAID THE SAME THING. WE ALSO NOTICED THIS RIDE WAS NOT MOVING A FEW TIMES DURRING THE DAY. WE THOUGHT THEY CLOSED IT DOWN FOR THE DAY. THE BAT MAN SIDE WAS UP AND RUNNING, BUT THE ROBIN SIDE WAS NOT. IT WAS A FRIDAY AND IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER. WHY WOULD THEY NOT HAVE BOTH SIDES RUNNING, DUE TO ITS POPULARITY? AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES, WE WERE NEXT IN LINE TO BOARD. WE WERE EXCITED BY HOW FAST THE CAR WENT OUT AND CAME BACK IN,. WE TIMED IT= 1 MINUTE. IT SHOOTS YOU OUT WITH ENOUGH SPEED TO CLIMB THE MANY LOOPS AND CORK SCREWS TO THE TOP OF A HIGH RAMP, THUS COLLECTING ENOUGH SPEED AND MOMENTUM TO BRING YOU BACK TO THE FROUNT GATE BACKWARDS.
WE WERE ABOUT TO GET ON WHEN AN OLD MAN TRIED TO CROWD THE LINE. I TOLD HIM TO GET IN LINE. HE GOT MAD AND SAID SOMETHING BACK. WE WALKED TO THE MIDDLE CAR AND THE FOUR OF US GOT IN. THE 16 YEAR OLD ATTENDANTS CAME OVER AND PUSHED A SMALL RED LEG BAR OVER THE TOPS OF OUR LEGS. IT WAS SNUG WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY. OUR FEET WERE ALSO HELD DOWN WITH TWO FOOT BARS, SO YOU COULD NOT MOVE. THE RIDE WAS ABOUT TO GO AND I SCREEMED OUT TO OUR FRIENDS “READY”…….WE WERE OFF
WITH AN ENORMOUS FORCE THE CAR FLEW FORWARD. OVER THE FIRST LOOP AND THE SECOND, THEN SPUN THROUGH THE TWO CORK SCREWS AND UP THE RAMP. SASHA NOTICED AND SAID “WE ONLY WENT UP HALF WAY” I HOPE WE HAVE ENOUGH SPEED TO GET BACK. I LAUGHED NOT REALLY THINKING ABOUT IT. THE CAR STOPPED AND FLEW BACKWARDS HEADING FOR THE FRONT GATE. WE TOOK THE FIST CORK SCREW AND SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP. THEN FORWARD, THEN BACK, UNTIL THE CAR WENT FORWARD UNTIL IT LOST ALL SPEED AND STOPPED COMPLETELY WITH ALL THE PASSENGERS EXCEPT THE FRONT CAR COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN. WE WERE AT THE TOP OF A 100FT GERDER; UNSIDE DOWN HOLDING ON TO THE BARS FOR SUPPORT.
WHAT HAPPENED? WE WERE STUCK IN THIS POSSITION FOR 45 MINUTES, LEGS KNUMB, NO STREINGH TO HOLD ON, FEARING THAT THE BREAK WILL RELEASE AND SENDING US ALL TO OUR DEATHS. IF WE DIDN’T HOLD ON, WE COULD HAVE SLIPPED OUT. IF WE FAINTED FROM HIPERVENTILATING, WE COULD HAVE ALSO SLIPPED OUT. WHAT DID I DO? I FUCKING PANICED
I WILL WRITE MORE LATER, I AM SHAKING WHILE I WRITE THIS.
