I have been told many times that I act like I am seven years old. This last weekend I went to Lagoon and I was so excited all week that I could hardly sleep. It's like when you are in elementary school and you have a lagoon day and you just can't wait. That is really how excited I was. I just want to know if anyone was as upset as I was about the ride "The Samuri" being put in? When I think about Lagoon as a little kid I think of Eight things.
1. The Swings and being afraid to lose your shoes in the water or putting your arms on the outside of the chains and leaning forward but being totally scared to fall in the water. (all at the same time thinking that its the coolest swing you have ever been on and wondering if this is how birds feel when they fly.)
2. The Tidal Wave and lifting your hands up experiencing that first funny tummy feeling that you get on amusement rides, trying to be the loudest side to scream.
3. The Magic Carpet Ride which I know made a lot of people sick but I loved that ride, going backwards and forwards around and around. I loved that ride (you feel like Jasmine). So much to my dismay a few years ago they took that ride out and put in the Samuri which gives me a screaming headache.
4. The White rollercoaster and going on that ride a million times at the end of the night with my sister Tiffany and her friend Julie the first year I was tall enough to ride that ride. The sound of the old track and the old wood as you make the journey up that first hill. I also think of the family legend that my aunts friend Barb got stuck on that ride and had to ride around like 9 or 10 times. I don't know if it's true or not but I tell every new person I go to Lagoon with that story.
5. The Colosus (Which many of you know is not the real name. Isn't it the Dragon something or other?) and being scared to ride it for the first time and having to pee so bad my family told my my pee would hit eveyone on the ride when we went on those two loops.
6. The Jet Star II (Whatever happened to Jet Star I?) and hearing about the kids that weren't prepared for the stop and the one in backs teeth went into the head of the other one. (Which I am sure is so untrue). Its amazing how you go on the new rides like Wicked and they practically box you in just to keep you safe, but on this ride its like an open bob sled with one loose seat belt holding you in. I am sure it is not super safe but I love that ride.
7. The Airplanes I don't care what anyone says I love those silly airplanes and trying to get them to go as far out as possible by moving that heavy metal wing back and forth with all your might.
8. The Terror Ride I was so scared of that ride when I was little. Wasn't there a witch or something that came out of the shutters on the top? Or did I just imagine that?
Basically I just love lagoon. I even ditch my favorite shoes (flip flops) just so I can ride the swings. The new things that I love are dipin dots. You just can't go to Lagoon and not get some. Also that they have many water rides so you don't sweat to death. Which I like the Cliffhanger but unless you want to get everything wet including your kidneys don't ride that ride.
