Frightmares.

The Cannibal, the 2015 new lagoon ride. 

I remember when Samurai was the new ride and now that thing is lame. The rides are getting more intense, with steeper drops and faster speeds. Soon we will be placed into a pod and shot into space. 

We waited in the longest line at the park, there was 12 in our group and the cannibal car hold a perfect 12, so we fit into the car beautifully. All strapped in and then the ride shut down. 

So we waited, for maybe a half hour, and sitting still in the fall night air was getting chilly. The Featherstone family are a rowdy bunch. And we had three of the featherstone siblings as part of our group of 12, and with the excitement of going on the Cannibal for the first time, the chilly night air, the restriction of not being able to move they went a little nuts. 

Yelling and cheering. Bothering Hunter, a high school nerd who spent his summer making sure everyone was buckled correctly into roller coasters, and quite likely cleaning up vomit. 

“Hunter, what’s going on?”

“Hunter is it true that two people have died on this ride?”

Hunter awkwardly “I’m not at liberty to say. . “

Another worker comes out and everyone cheers for him. 

“Hunter, do you have a blanket”

“Hunter is it true that the first car they sent out on this no one came back alive?”

Hunter in a holler then tho tone “Well if that was true the Mayor wouldn’t be alive.”

So Moral of the story is cannibal was great, but I think the anticipation for the ride made it better. 

When our car pulled back into the station after the ride was over everyone was screaming and hollering, whipping tears from their eyes and chanting hunter’s name. 

It would have been way annoying if we weren’t at Lagoon. 

Frightmares is the best, the fun of Lagoon in fall attire and the smell of changing leaves. 

Why have I never been before?

Now that’s all I want to do. 

Fall air and blurry pictures.
