Today I was totally psyched because we were going to Wonderland. Today I doubt there will any parts that will be boring or that we need to listen to some guest speaker talk. I always hated the boring parts and I had looked forward to today. We took the Viva and then transferred to another bus to arrive at Wonderland. On our way to Wonderland, I encountered a St. John’s member who was going somewhere. Our bus ride felt really long and most of us fell asleep because we were really tired.
When we arrived, a Vancouver kid found out that food was not allowed inside Wonderland. I guess we didn’t inform them about this before hand and so he had to trash his food. Another friend had remembered that he had brought a knife along and had to hide it away somewhere. I thought that we were not allowed to bring water inside and I started emptying my bottle. But I found out later on that water was allowed. It started raining a little bit and everyone started freaking out because they didn’t bring any rain gear.
As we entered, we decided to go to Bungee jumping but we decided to do it later. And so, we went on “Top Gun” known as “Flight Deck” now. I felt dizzy after the ride because there were many loops and upside-downs. Another ride we went on was the “Sledgehammer” which was pretty scary as the arms suddenly rose and suddenly fell. We were lining up to go on SkyRider before it started pouring. Then they had to shut it down for safety reasons. because of all the rain. In addition, the SkyRider’s brake system was pretty sensitive and because of the rain, it will undoubtedly be affected. We were pretty pizzed because we were about to go on the ride before they delayed it. We had to wait because there was a reported sighting of lightning 3 miles within the amusement park. We had to wait until the rain died down which took over an hour. So we hid in the shelter and the workers showed us a poster of a new ride that will be coming out next year. It’s called “Windseeker” and it would be higher than Behemoth and I was surprised at the cost which was $5,000,000. It didn’t look that appealing because it was just like a merry go round at a really high level. We waited until 12:00 and we had to leave for lunch.
We ate lunch at Mr. Sub and had to share a large sub between two people because otherwise we would surpass our spending limit. The food at Wonderland is really expensive and totally not worth it. After my lunch, I was still hungry. We went on other rides such as Behemoth, Shockwave, The Bat, Drop Zone and Behemoth again. The lines were really long and going on Behemoth was just scary. During the Behemoth ride, I chose to ride at the last row because apparently it will feel like it goes faster because it is the last cart of the roller coaster. I had a big stomachache after that. At Drop Zone, I was just terrified and a fellow friend had to pull me on the ride. I was just scared out of my mind because it was so high and basically it will fall down really fast. I hate the feeling of free-falling because it feels like you will fall down to the ground but in reality you won’t.Last of all, some people wanted to do bungee jumping. It cost $20/person and basically they will be pulled up to a very high height and be dropped like a swing. Apparently it was really worth it but I chickened out.
Finally it was nearing the end of the day, we left to a friend’s house to eat dinner. We ate pizza with garlic sauce instead of tomato sauce. It tasted pretty weird and I kind of preferred tomato sauce more. We played a little of mahjong, halo, guitar hero and we watched a horror movie. It was really really scary especially when you watch it in the dark and in a basement. It was better though because we watched it as a large group and many of us literally screamed when something scary pops out. The movie was called The Amityville Horror, a really scary movie indeed.
