Scream

Eeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.....oooooooohhhhhhhhh......
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. that is all I heard whole of yesterday. It was as if I was watching a Horror movie from the 80's.. but the only difference being that there were no bloodbaths, no gory images and the screams were not screams of horror or of people dying.. these were the screams of pleasure and thrill and everyone had big smiles on their faces. Yes I had been to the 6 flags magic mountain adventure park. One of the most thrilling and fun experiences I have had. Sitting on all those roller coaster rides makes you feel so out of control. And then wasting your money on all the silly games tht there are in the amusement park, trying to win :), makes you feel so stupid. Some of the rides are really scary. Imagine yourself having a freefall from a hieght of 1000ft and the fall gets broken just in time, but wait thats not the end of it, you are then throw into few successive inverted 360 degree head over heel turns followed by some spins in all possible angles. And this was just one of them, there were many more :). Being at the park made me feel wowed by the engineering marvel and how it has brought smiles to the faces of so many people. And being an Engineer it made me feel proud.. not that i am doing anything even remotely Engineer like.

But there are a few downers of going to an amusement park, especially on a weekend. The long, winding, never ending queues. I had to wait for 2:13 hrs to get to do a ride. And to make it even worse is when you have a couple right ahead of you that can barely keep their hands, lips, etc.. off each other. You are trying to not look, but cmmon, it too darn difficult, and god it makes you feel soooo lonely...
