I conquered Medusa!

We left the oldies at home and drove to Vallejo where Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is located. :) We decided to go today because we thought it wouldn't be crowded since it's the day after the holiday. We arrived just a bit after the park opened and we couldn't believe our eyes as busloads and busloads of students are being unloaded at the parking lot! It wasn't the best day after all. But since we drove more than an hour just to be there, we went in anyway, thinking that it wouldn't be that bad considering that the parking lot is still nearly empty.

We walked around and had pictures taken with the Looney Tunes Characters (neat!), and watched water creatures in their respective areas. Local Dolphins (as in, those born inside the park) were showing their craft in Merlin's Island party. Thirty minutes after, the show starring Shouka the Whale, was on. But Ane, Gi and I missed it coz we were already in line to get on Medusa.

Ane was too chicken to try it, but Gi and I endured the one hour or so queue just to ride Medusa for about 3minutes. The wait was worth it considering that the thing is the fastest, tallest, and longest thrill ride in Northern California. Being floorless, just looking at it, made me sick but I conquered it! We would have line-up again but the queue is just too long. We rode Roar, the Wooden Roller coaster and the smaller one with no loops, Cobra. This time with Ane. Am not sure though if he will ever ride again. Hehehe.

We didn't eat inside the park except for some snacks because you know how expensive park food can get...twice or thrice as much as when you get the same food outside. I do not understand why theme park owners (even in the Philippines) do not allow food to be brought in and then let their tenants sell food at skyhigh prices, tsk tsk tsk. My sister said I should wait until we get to Disney and realize that it's still cheap at Six Flags. Hah!

We left the park before 6pm and drove to the nearest Denny's...big servings at low prices! Perfect for budget conscious people like us (well, that was until we got here, hehehehe). The food is so yummy I finished everything! I had to skip dinner, mind you. :)

Was a fun day!
