this weekend is not a happening weekend i basically rotted in my room for the whole day. but to act haps i shall do about the rides i took last weekend at Great America!

malaysia: truly asia. oops i mean great america ok no link

the merry go round looks really pretty but i din get to ride it cos we got no time cos we entered the park at 5 pm (park closes at 8pm) cos tickes are half price after 4pm cos we are cheapo

our first ride: vortex! sebastian looking very emo in the picture with the clouds and everything. vortex is a standing roller coaster. looks quite scary from the outside but the actual ride wasnt too scary and it was very short.

not much of a spongebob fan.

chuckie! i love rugrats!

a ride orinally called top gun...based on the movie of the same name. it is a inverted roller coaster (the track is above your head). pretty nice ride felt a little giddy after the ride. apparently in 1997  a person tried to retrieve his hat somewhere near the tracks and was kicked in the head by one of the riders in the oncoming roller coaster. the person died and the rider broke his leg.

this ride is called invertigo. see the v shaped track? they are the two ends of the track so the ride goes from one end to the other and reverse back to to the starting end. the seats are situated such a way that the riders are facing each other so u can see your friend's face during the ride!

look at how the tracks are twisted! nice.

the drop tower: rated 4 stars for thrill level according to the park (all the previous rides are rated 5). but this is the scariest ride of all. basically it slowly brings u up to 207 feet (70 meters) and drops u down! all 4 stars of the thrill packed in 3 seconds! really made me humji and scream like a girl...

apparently a 12 year old mentally disabled kid managed to slide under the restaraint in 1999 and fell to his death while taking the ride. 

looks like a scene in a haunted theme park. the merry go round looks really eerie at night. especially if it turns when no one's on it and starts to play the creepy music.

we took a few more rides after that and managed to cover almost all the 4 & 5 stars rated rides. the park is actually quite near my house, a less than 10 minutes drive away! didn't know the rides are so awesome! should have come earlier cos we missed a few water based rides zzz.  looking at the average age of the people in the park, i guess i am too old for the rides already hahaha but it was still fun nonetheless. the rides here are thrilling but i like the rides in universal studios better cos even though the rides there are less thrilling, they have a story to go with the ride which makes them really interesting.

bonus! my dream car (at least one of them) mazda RX-7!

dont mistake it as a mazda miata i kill u!

rotary engine forever!
