I made it through, ice. Thanks for the concern and empathetic stomach ache. I'll tell you about my roller coaster adventures later... Did the hefty lady make it to or is she stuck in the cave somewhares? She made it. We tried to get a ahead of this group of folks for the very reason stated earlier. I didn't want to get stuck behind her. They were very loud. I truly was surprised that they made it through with little trouble.

When you get to the point they shut out the lights and they talk about bats. Rub your boys head and let me know how loud he screams. I would never have done that as he is afraid of the dark. My daughter said she was clausterphobic and didn't want to go but we made her anyway. It would have been good to do for her.

Do they still take you to that area and shut the lights off just to show you how dark it is? It was dark as hell and I skimmed right through the wife's hair perfect. She started screaming and scared the hell out of a few others.

Ice, you don't have to read this as it may bore or scare you or both. There were five rollercoasters we (and by we I mean me and my kids) went on. The first day we went on Thunderation. That was the first one I've been on in nearly 20 years, if you don't count the kiddie coaster at the Mall of America. The last time I had gone with my grandparents and my two oldest daughters. The youngest was probably 7...hell I can't remember. My grandpa, in his 70's, decided he'd come along much to my grandmas protests. This roller coaster more or less starts at the top and then heads down the mountain side. My youngest daughter barely fit the height requirement but they should have had a weight requirement as the bar holding her down didn't come down close enough (probably because it was down as far as it could over my fat ass) and she nearly flew out of the coaster. It was scary because I had to hold her down the rest of the ride. My grandpa elected not to go on any rides after that. So remembering all of that I told these two kids to hang on. It was a fun a bumpy ride and they wanted to do it again. Classic rollercoasters. When I got off I notice end that my neck and head was hurting. It was close to closing so we raced to the other side of the park and did the Wlidfire. This is a newer roller coaster. Here's the info on that. "Traveling at speeds up to 66 miles per hour, WildFire features a vertical drop of 15 stories, followed by five inversions including a full loop, cobra roll, corkscrew and high-speed spiral." This is the kind that has the body bar for each seat that comes over your shoulders and down to your lap. The seat has a molded area between your legs that meets that bar and then there's still a little seat belt that goes from that molded area and buckles into that safety bar. You sit down pull that thing over and buckle up and then head out and up a hill and do a lot of time upside down after that. We loved it. My neck hurt a little more after that. The next one for that day was Powderkeg. Here the info on that. Launch from 0 to 53 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds! PowderKeg® combines the shocking speed of the compressed air-launch with spiraling turns, negative gravitational or "G" forces, and "floater" hills at speeds up to 64 miles per hour! After the initial blast of speed, and 110-foot drop, riders soar through the trees over six acres on 3,500 feet of track for a truly wild ride experience. It starts out with the cars moving sideways to a launch point where your shot up the first hill very fast. It was a little rougher ride and my neck and head were bothering me after that. We did one more called Fire in the hole which is a really old coaster that is inside and in the dark and mostly goes around like a train were you look at mining scenes or some shit I can't remember. There's a couple of dips. I used to like this one but it didn't live up to my memories. It's dark and cool so if you want to get out of the heat for 60 seconds there you go. Ice? How you doing? Okay? When we returned the next day Wildfire was the ride the kids wanted. Lines were bigger on Tuesday so we actually had to wait a while. Right when we got to the front the guy tells us that he's going to put on a second car and it will take 10-15 minutes. Great. So it only took them about 5 minutes to get the second car up while the first one is suspended upside down on a loop somewhere, and I think "good this is going fast". Then they start running them both empty, checking the belts and safety bars every time and running them out on the coaster, back in and checking again, and looking at some computer screens. Finally they let one of the workers on to ride the last check and she comes back intact so it's a go. We get on and pull over the safety bar harness and buckle that into our seat. Then the staff comes over and yanks on everthing to make sure it's tight. We leave the dock and we start heading up this hill. At the top it goes down and ends into a couple loops. Halfway up the hill I pull on my little seatbelt to make sure it's bucked. It's not a tight seatbelt at all. Just loose. It stays buckled. Then I reach over to my sons and do a quick tug on his, AND THE GOD DAMNED THING CAME OUT! We are almost to the top and he's looking at me with terror in his eyes and I'm telling him to buckle, buckle, buckle! Because while I could reach over and grab the loose part and pull, because of the shoulder bar I couldn't move my arms to buckle him him! He gets it buckled and we finish that ride which was a little more exciting then it was the day before. We go out and Big Dave is waiting. He says after watching this coaster he thinks he could do it and that he's taking Dramamine already so maybe in an hour. Then my son blurts out the thing about the seatbelt...I went back and told the personnel about what happened. They said it wasn't really a primary safety device but thanks for telling them. I guess what the means if the ratcheting on the shoulder harness fails that belt is going to keep the harness attached to the seat. No. Big. Deal. I explain to big Dave that maybe he should not go in this coaster anyway, not because of what it will do to his inner ear, but his neck. He had bad arthritis and his neck hurts all of the time. He says he's already taken a flexeril. Either one of those meds and I'm out cold but he's walking around normal. High drug tolerance. We finally ride it again. Seatbelts all worked. He said he had to close his eyes as the first looped totally screwed him up. He was messed up for a couple hours after that. The last coaster we went on (no big Dave) was the Outlaw Run. "Outlaw Run® is one of the world's steepest wood coasters with a first drop of 162 feet with an 81 degree angle." I was surprised that after seeing this coaster that we wouldn't have the body harness to hold us in. Instead there is something that locks in your lower legs and feet, as well as an lap bar. This one was fast and loud and full of inversions. We got off and that and both kids said they weren't doing that one again! I agreed. There's your coaster update.

They said back in the day that when people were exploring the caves by candlelight that if their candle went out they needed to just stay out until someone else came through the cave otherwise they could walk off into one of the caverns. They have guide rails there now of course but it would be a hell of a drop!
