WOW!

Okay, so yesterday (Thursday) I went to Great America for the first time and rode on my first rollercoaster. Talk about AWESOME! I can't believe it took me that long to finally get to go!!! I went on everything that was open except for the Whizzer because we wanted to be able to buy some souveniers before they closed in less then an hour. I sat in the first row for every coaster except for American Eagle, which I went on backwards, so it really didn't matter if I was in front or not, so I sat in the second row. It was GREAT! I think my favorite one was Dejavu. Imagine, if you haven't been on it, being pulled backwards up a 90 degree angle with your face (being in the front seat) hanging 177 feet above the ground, then being dropped into what feels like a free-fall for that 177 feet until the track turns, then going around a loop-de-loop on the outside with your feet dangling in the air (Superman was awesome, too, btw), then going around a boomarang turn and getting dropped back and pulled up an identical 177 foot spike on the other end, only this time you're facing up instead of down, then getting realeased back to do the whole thing backwards and ending up having your momentum jerked to a stop when the coaster gets most of the way up the first spike again. That was so scary it was awesome! Then I went on Giant Drop, which I have to say was only actually fun when it was over, but it was worth the adrenaline rush. :) There you have it! I think I went on 9 or 10 rides, and all but one of those was in the front row. It was great. Now I have a LOT to do before I leave for school in two days, and I have a wedding tomorrow, so I need to get it done today. Have a good one!
