Yesterday was the trip. I arrived at school carrrying the usual cd player and cd book, carrying the spare batteries, Mountain Dew, and Skittles in pocket. We then got on the two busses. The one I was on was a new one, had air conditioning and it was quite a bit longer than your average bus. I was just listening to cds and stuff on the way there. We stopped at a rest stop around halfway through... and right around then is when I came down with one of the worst cases of diahrea I have ever had. I'll spare most of the details but I was on there for at least 15 minutes. We then continued on to the park.

We arrived at the park and got out tickets at around 10(we had left at around 7:30). I then decided I'd stick near two of the people in my physics class so I wouldn't get lost. The first hour or two was rather relaxed for me as I remember it. We wandered around until we found the Loch Ness Monster(the first of the four roller coasters I was to ride that day, click on the link to see info and pictures on it). Wheile waiting in line, they had to fix it once...damned breaking things. It was pretty good, especially for such an old one; however, it didn't manage to really excite me, sadly.

We then proceeded to wander over to the German restaurant where we had to check in at 10, and checked in. Somewhere around that time I got a little bit of fudge and a box of gobstoppers. I ate the fudge right off but didn't finish the gobstoppers yet; in fact, I'm eating a gobstopper right now. The fudge had made me thirsty so I got as big a drink as I could. It was expensive, but I had $40 alotted to me. By this time of the day I was dreadfully sweaty from the 90 degree sunny weather. I had also gone to the bathroom again a time or two, the diahrea was to plague me all day and powerful stomach pains were beginning to set in by this point. We then kept going and got into line for the Alpengeist(click to see info and pictures on Alpengeist). While in line it was broken down and they had to fix it. A lot of people left the line, but not us, that jumped us up much closer to the front, which was cool. They had it fixed before long and we rode. I had finished the 32oz. drink just before I climbed on. I found this to arguably be the best of the four coasters I rode while I was there. It had plenty of variety of movement, you never knew what it was going to throw at you next it seemed. It wasn't the best either though, I guess it just wasn't fast enough or something, oh well.

We then proceeded to go to the Big Bad Wolf(click to see info and pics of coaster). It didn't thrill me to terribly much, especially seeing as I had just come from the Alpengeist. Oh well, it was worth the ride anyway.

By this time my stomach was killing me, it felt like I was being stabbed by knives or something, and it was only going to get worse. I was also drenched in sweat. I was being forced to go to the bathroom more and more often as well, again, only going to get worse before better. We continued on, our eyes fixed on the one roller coaster not yet taken. We got in line for the Apollo's Chariot. This one's line took forever in comparison to the others. It took a long time for them to fix it too though; however, this helped us forward in line a decent bit. We got onto this coaster and this one was good enough to give Alpengeist a run for its money, if it wasn't better. It lost out in variety, but it was still really good(see the link above for details).

After this I went to the bathroom and went for a treck that seemed like an eternity. We had to walk back to a theater near the entrance. We proved ourselves to be navigationally challenged. We ended up going to the opposite side of the park to the theater. We then kept on going and made it there around 10 minutes late. The walk there was torturous. The diahrea and stomach pains peaked during this walk, during which I was walking a bit slower than normal, practically crippled by the stomach pain. The pain didn't let up when I sat down in the theater. We were there to watch an interesting little physics show. It proved to be less educational and more for fun, which is good. The seats above were capable of shooting out air or water, and guess what they did, it was funny lol. The whole time I was in there I couldn't enjoy myself though. The stomach pains were still equally strong, if it weren't possible for them to be worse. The Physics show ended eventually, and I hurried off to the bathroom and stayed there for around ten minutes. I then hurried off to the bus(by now it was about 4). I got on and we started heading down the road, shortly after I found my cd player on the floor under my seat. We stopped at McDonalds to get a quick bite to eat on the way back. I got a supersized #3 and stuffed it down my throat as fast as I could. It didn't take long. I was listening to Rammstein and talking to the person behind me about computers on the way back. When we got to the school my mom took me home and that was pretty much the end of the day.

Goku was the victor by a count of 10 to 4.
