Life in a Blurrr......

am still so thrilled...scared...shaken-up n amazed...with the Six Flag adventure....i really must blog ;)

Just been out to a local Six Flags last weekend...my very first roller coaster n thrill ride experience....

Roller coasters always looked fun on television...people sitting comfortably in comfy seats n rocking around a park screaming wildly...it definitely looked fun...wow wow....
Did some lil research to see what exciting rides were there....nice photos...looked interesting...

So finally I am out there with my friend nanju, excited n raring to go ride em rides...wohooo....
We look around and find a helluva ride....they call it Mr Freeze

....superfast roller coaster
screaming its way through space....dint really think about whether it was scary or anything....
After a pretty long wait in the queue....we get to the 'loading chamber'....when people are loaded in....and just fly out of the tunnel....and almost as fast...back in....looks like less than a minute...
Finally we are seated and all set to go....no fear...no real anticipation...just sitting back relaxed...
booom....the carriage flies out with a speed thats really unknown to me....going around in twists n turns with kinda supersonic speeds....and then baam.....90 degrees up a path...
And we hang there a coupla seconds....looking up into the blu blu sky...afraid to look down...;)
And then....bang....all the way back at the very same speed....I remem thinking that I'd probably go dizzy since I cant stand sitting forward and being driven in the opposite direction....
But before that thought settles in....the train/carriage is rocketing back....and you are safe n stable once again....in the tunnel where u started off....

As per the 6Flags site, this is "zero to 70 mph in about four seconds"....wow...I dint know...but man, was I scared.....I guess I was too stunned, scared n thrilled...to even screaam...

In our efforts to get back to 'normalcy', we decide to settle for something less 'Thrill"-ing....Thunder River....a fun ride on a big round boat bouncing around the waters

....and the spray of water....and a waterfall....it was fun with a interesting and big family....a cute lil gal who used to scream every now n then....just for the heck of it....a nice mom who got most of the dousing since she always ended up where all the water was spraying...;) I managed to get out 'too dry' ;)

Speaking of being dry....we were running around all clothed in jeans n stuff...with all the crowd doing shorts n lil shorts n stuff....we were so 'overdressed' ;)....so we decided to get a lil 'undressed' ;).....bermudas.....the weather was pretty n warm...

Time for the next thrill ride....Superman, Tower of Power....

more looong queues and waits n finally we hop on.....well, this is some 230 feet or so high tower...u sit down...get slowly pulled up to the top....its a helluva view up there...u can see all around so well...I take care not to look down for fear of getting scared ;)

And then, a few seconds of anticipation....damn, so scared n thinking 'I wanna get off'....another coupla seconds and you are hurtling down all the way super faast...u can feel all that adrenalin flow in....but before the fear really gets to you hard, you're landed...thank god for all that speed...I'd have died if the fall took longer ;)

I still wonder....too scary? Must say its once-in-a-lifetime experience...I can still mildly feel all the excitement and fear....and would probably do it again once a while...but man, i was so scared thrilled scared-out-of-wits....Six Flags rocks nyways!!!
