Roller coasters: not so much

classicaljunkie and I went to Six Flags. It was weird and nobody had any fun. Basically, her approach to amusement parks is to ride the 500-foot coasters over and over until she can't walk anymore. Mine is to go on the baby rides with my eyes squeezed shut while I go FUCKFUCKSHITCOCKNONOAAAAAAAAAAA, and then sit for a while to recover. A basic incompatibility was thus discovered.
But then we went shopping and had coffee and felt better.

Date: 2007-06-01 05:46 pm (UTC)Unfortunately one of the attendees didn't expect a 'coasters till you puke' event to actually involve riding any roller coasters so he got to be all mopey and sit out on all of them.
Another guy there would ride coasters but he didn't want to go on any that actually went upside down. After waiting in line for a Batman coaster for nearly an hour, watching the coaster go upside down he got all upset that it actually WENT upside down.
Then we had that one girl with severe emotional instability -- she broke down crying for a half an hour because she saw someone who reminded her of an ex boyfriend she knew online two years prior. She was okay on the coasters though.

It would be far cheaper and quite a bit less painful than repeatedly waiting in a hot, sweaty line for untold hours to take a brief excursion on a ride that at least one member of any party is guaranteed to hate.

my wife, on the other hand, loves rides. She would not want to do big scary coasters, but she would do "normal" ones and other rides with glee.
