eeyore_grrl provided kshandra, dafydd and myself with a trip to Paramount's Great America, aka Six Flags over Silicon.
We haven't been there in years, and it was great. Roller costers were shrieked upon, we rode every water ride in the place, getting completely soaked, ate over-priced food and acted, in general, like 12 year olds. With money. :)
In the Air Hockey Championship of the Universe Kirsten skunked me 7-3. My two own-goals did not help my game plan one bit. I'm blaming the table's position, which had me backed up against a wall. My mobility was impaired. I'm filing a protest!
Why isn't air hockey an Olympic sport? The Spartans would love it.
In my humble opinion, the best ride was Rip-Roaring Rapids, which is a trip down, duh, fake rapids. What makes this ride great are the coin operated water jets run by spectators along the shore. Knowing that you are being drenched not by soulless machines but by malicious soccer moms improves the experience. They scored a direct hit on us. Three times.
I also got to meet Spongebob Squarepants. I rule.
