A ROAD TRIP

ON FRIDAY I MADE A DECISION THAT IT WAS TIME TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP. THINGS HAVE BEEN VERY HECKTIC HERE AT WORK AND A LITTLE STRESSFUL SOMETIMES. SO YESTERDAY A FRIEND OF MINE AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GO TO SINCE I MOVED HERE. IT WAS ABOUT A 3 HOUR DRIVE. PLUS I WANTED TO SEE WHAT MY NEW TRUCK DID OUT ON THE OPEN ROAD. IT DID GREAT. WE DECIDED TO STOP AT A MOM AND POP DINER ON THE WAY FOR SOME BISCUITS AND GRAVY. SO WE STOPPED IN SNOWVILLE UTAH. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM IT WAS GREAT. WE WENT TO A PLACE CALLED LAGOON. I LOVE AMUSEMENT PARKS AND THE LAST TIME I WAS AT THIS ONE WAS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD. THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AMUSMENT PARKS IN THE COUNTRY. IT WAS BUILT IN 1858. MAN WHAT AN AWESOME DAY. I EVEN WON A COUPLE OF STUFFED ANIMALS LOL. SOME OF MY PICTURES DID NOT COME OUT SO SOME OF THE FOLLOWING POSTS HAVE PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE RIDES LOOKED LIKE. ENJOY ALL THE POSTS I HAD AN AWESOME DAY

RATTLESNAKE RAPIDS

WHAT IS AN AMUSMENT THEME PARK WITHOUT A RAPIDS RIDE AND LAGOON HAS A GREAT ONE AND IF YOU DON'T GET WET DON'T WORRY THEY HAVE A SUPRISE FOR YOU AT THE END.

IT IS JUST CALLED ROLLER COASTER

THIS COASTER IS AN OLD ONE. AN ORIGINAL WOOD ROLLER COASTER. IT CREAKS AND SHAKES AND IT WAS GREAT START TO A PERFECT DAY.

COLOSUS THE FIRE DRAGON

THIS COASTER WAS A BIG ONE WITH A DOUBLE LOOP HIGH PEAKS AND CORKSCREW SPIRAL TURNS

THE JET STAR 2

THIS COASTER IS A HIGH SPEED COASTER WITH TURN AFTER TURN AFTER TURN. SOME OF MY PICTURES DID NOT TURN OUT SO I GOT SOME OF THEM OFF THE INTERNET TO SHOW YOU

THE SPIDER

NOT ONLY DOES THIS GO IN EVERY DIRECTION BUT THE CAR TURNS AS WELL

THE WICKED

IT IS JUST WHAT IT SAYS WICKED. YOU ARE SHOT STRIAGHT UP IN THE AIR AND STRAIGHT BACK DOWN AND THEN FROM THERE YOU ARE TWISTED AND TURNED EVERY WHICH WAY

THE ROCKET

THE ROCKET IS ONE OF THOSE THRILL RIDES THAT LEAVES YOUR STOMACH SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOUR ARE STRAPED INTO A SEAT. CATAPULTED UP THE SIDE OF A TOWER AT ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR AND WHEN YOU GET TOT THE TOP YOU ARE DROPPED BACK TO THE BOTTOM

THE SAMURI

THE ROCKET

THE WATER SLIDE
THE ROLLER COASTERS

IT'S A BIRD IT'S A PLANE IT'S SUPER ROB

ONE OF THE THINGS I GOT TO DO WHILE I WAS AT LAGOON WAS FLY. LOL. IT IS CALLED THE SKY COASTER. I WAS PUT IN A HARNESS RAISED 153 FEET IN THE AIR BY A CABLE ATTACHED TO THE HARNESS. I GOT TO PULL THE RIP CORD AND DID A PENDULUM SWING TO THE GROUND. OK I AM A LITTLE ON THE NUTS SIDE LOL. I WAS GLAD THAT MY FRIEND WENT WITH ME TO TAKE THESE PICTURES FOR ME. THANKS.

THE SAMURI

THERE IS NOT ALOT TO SAY ABOUT THE SAMURI THE PICTURES AND THE SIGNS SAY IT ALL. IT WAS AN EXTREME RIDE.

THE BAT

THE LAST ROLLER COASTER WE RODE FOR THE DAY WAS THE BAT. IT IS A COASTER THAT HANGS ON THE RAILS. BASICALLY THE RAILS ARE ABOVE YOU INSTEAD OF BELOW YOU. I HAVE NEVER RODE ONE BEFORE AND IT WAS GREAT.

THE END TO A PERFECT DAY

THE ULTIMATE END TO A PERFECT DAY WAS THE CATAPULT. IT WAS JUST WHAT IT SAYS. THEY PUT YOU IN A SPHERE ATTACHED TO CABLES AND A MAGNET RUN BY SPRINGS. WHEN THEY LET THIS SPHERE GO IT IS SHOT 250 FEET INTO THE AIR LIKE A BULLET. IT WAS AWESOME. IT IS KIND OF LIKE REVERSE BUNJI JUMPING. YOU GO WAY UP IN THE AIR BACK DOWN TO EARTH BACK UP IN THE AIR BACK DOWN TO EARTH. WELL YOU GET THE PICTURE. I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THIS RIDE BECAUSE LIKE THE SKY COASTER IT WAS AN EXTRA FEE BUT AS I WALKED BY IT WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SORRY THAT YOU DID NOT DO IT.I HAD A GREAT DAY.
