sarah36 Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Last week, Dave took me to Six Flags, a place that we were thrown up and down! Dave first took me to a bridge-like toy, introducing me that”this one was built very long time ago. You can see the wood is very old and easily broken. The steel is rusted and not so safe. When the seats passed there, the bridge may fall down. Every year, some people were killed from there…….” “What?” I said, and couldn’t believe my ears and tried only to stop him. Even I was breathing very fast after playing that one, after that day,now I would calmfully say that the first one was pretty good and slow one. Hehe! Then one by one, the being thrown process started. All the time in the process of playing, I was closing my eyes tightly! Holding Dave’s arms tightly and screaming the most of all my life! The toys would raise you up to hundreds of height in one second, then pushed you down to the half air in half second, when you just tried to open your eyes, it raised you to another half height then suddenly threw you down to the bottom! Or another one, swinging you to east, down, north, up, swirl, then come back to east, then west….Please don’t think these were finished in one minute, because they were finished in one second! You would feel when your head just reached one point, then your down part body has to be grabbed to another place. In that one, Dave sat at my right arm, a five-year-old boy sat at my left arm. When I was screaming with my twisted body, all the time I heard the boy was saying,:”oh yes! Oh yes!oh, yes!” and Dave was laughing and laughing , and I was “aaaaaahhhhhhh-----------!!!!” Superman is a toy that very similar with the railway toy my newphew has been playing. When it first started, our seats line were climbing up the hilly bridge so it was very slow. Then when it reached the highest point, the most scary part started! The whole long line crazily rushed down toward the end of the hill, then fastly up to another hill with the force, then rushed down, then up then swirl, then down. When it rushed down, your body is in 90 degree angle, with your upper body facing toward the dear ground! You could feel that you would in any second jumped or be grabbed out of the seat and be swallowed into the huge noised of that superman railway! Every seat was taken a pic in a middle way when the seat rushed down. All of them held up their hands with crazily happy smiling face as if they have conquered the batman, only I buried my face into Dave’s seat, my hair was flying messily, and Dave was laughing hard! We stayed there until it closed.Now in our room, were many animal toys Dave won as prizes that day to accompany gizmo. And our sweet self-taken little pics taken in a small dark house in Six-Flags were pasted on the gate of refrigerator. Sarah Link to comment
TimD Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Sarah, Are you describing Six Flags or a ride in a Chinese Taxi -Tim Link to comment
Mick Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'll bet Dave really enjoyed himself, especially the part where you were holding him tightly. Great story. Thanks for posting your impressions Sarah! Link to comment
Guest bbridges51 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Tim. Yes, why pay $40 for six flags when you can pay 10RMB for a taxi or bus ride. Oh, i didn't know you could pass on a blind curve and live!!! Brian Link to comment
owenkrout Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 It was passing on a blind curve, on a hill, at night, with no lights, on a narrow secondary road, while driving at break-neck speed that was really thrilling. Link to comment
chinadave2001 Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 On this point, the taxi may be more dangerous, because the bar on the taxi between the driver and the back seats would hurt your face when you are on a thrilling trip and suddenly sent forward by a break. Sarah Link to comment
