LAGOON!!

This Labor Day weekend I went to Lagoon with my parents, my brother and his friends Eli and Allie Seegrist, my uncle Dave and Aunt Becky, and my cousin Emily.  Lagoon is an amusement park located in Farmington, Utah, and it is the most amazing place in the world!!  I rode the fearsome four while there: the Rocket, Wicked, Colossus, and the Spider.  My favorite of them is wicked.  On Wicked, you immediately start at about 100 miles per hour, going up at a 90 degree angle, and then down at a 90 degree angle.  The total speed at the time when you reach the bottom is about 120 miles per hour or so guestimated.  Then you go into a tight corkscrew, and wow, it’s so intensely fun.  My brother’s friend Eli became a total thrill junkie after that trip!! I rode so many thrill rides, that in 5 hours of riding them, I almost puked three times!!! 

Here is a funny story:  Eli’s sister Allie wanted to go on the Wild Mouse; a really jerky ride.  Allie is super puny, even though she’s 8.  On the Wild Mouse, there’s only one bar that comes down on both people.  The bar was snug on me, but Allie still had a foot of room - I mean that girl is small!!  Anyway, if I hadn’t have held on to her, she would have literally flown right out of the car!  I mean it was scary, and that ride is so jerky and exerts so much force that I literally felt my arm starting to stretch and break!  At 9 o’clock I was sooo tired, and sore and sick; I just wanted to go home.  The rides that made me the sickest were Colossus, Wicked, The Cliff Hanger (which hangs you completely upside down for 5-10 seconds), and the Samari.  All in all I had a lot of fun and so did everyone else.

That’s a rap.

Dingbat out!
