This is my to do list of funny things(i should add a couple more but i can't think about any right now. if u have suggestions feel free to tell me).
Last Saturday we went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
To get there we had to change 2 trains,2 buses and we had a reminder of the people back home when at some point 60 ppl tried to force their way on the bus.

But that didn't matter as soon as we saw the 'coasters.
We picked Six Flags because of this web page: link

Upon arriving we did what every good geek does:
"SELECT rides FROM sixFlags where thrill="max" ORDER BY thrill DESC; ".
And we started with the most thrilling (kinda').

1) Medusa
100KM/h top speed,4.5G, 3 minutes of pure pleasure(no stupid comments about sex pls...ok..u can comment)

The best part about all the rides in Six Flags is that people don't wait on a single line. There are multiple lines and each has access to only one row of seats.
So the first time we ended up in the rear of the ride .

At the end of the day we came back for one more ride on the Medusa and we sat in the front seat. The feeling that you get when you drop 60 m and you see the earth approaching is amazing.

2)The next ride we tried to get on was broken so we went straight to Vertical Velocity 2.

With a top speed of 112km/h and an acceleration from 0-100 in 4 secs (almost like a Ferrari) the thing absolutely rocks.
The first time we sat in the front seats and we experienced unthinkable horror and joy. GG us.
The second time we(Mircea and I) went straight to the back seats. We tried to push down the things that held us in our seats but they didn;t want to close. After a couple of seconds I guess they gave enough pressure to close the damn things and we were happy.
All the attendants signaled that the ride can be launched and as they were counting down to start both Mircea and I felt that our restraints were again open. We started shouting and waving at the b**ch that was closest to us but because of her god damn sun glasses she didn't notice. Finally she did and stopped the launch. Mircea began saying that this would be a good time to move to another ride but I insisted to try it again.
So we fastened our restraints again and this time we had a good launch ....for 10 seconds.... After 10 seconds they had to stop the ride for some reason. After 3 minutes of being locked in our seats a supervisor came and let us out. Of course, they said that anybody who wanted to take another ride could stay in their seats but there weren't any brave souls. Not even us ;).

3) Although I said I'd never ride a wood roller coater we had to try THE ROAR

If the previous two roller coasters were smooth as a baby's' ass this one rocked us hard. But it was pretty cool. And I especially enjoyed the face that Mircea made when he saw how much the structure of the roller coaster wobbled.

Please notice the geekish T-SHIRT

4) The next thing we tried was the coaster that was broken at #2.
Called Kong it is that kind of rollercoaster where your feet dangle freely and that spins you in all possible directions like a crazy washing machine. Do I need to say how much fun it is ?? Look at our faces if you don't believe me:



5)Another crazy thing was The Boomerang.

Nothing compares to doing 3 twisted 360degrees rolls ...moving backwards at high speed.

6) We tried some other minor rides which were fun but not worth mentioning.

7) To end the day we went on the "Beer 'coaster" (btw can't wait to do a Beer 'coaster back in Bucale ). And then we got back home.
