Huzzah for Adventure!
The Cat in the Hat - Once. Still frenetic fun.
Jurassic Park River Adventure - Once. Still very wet. Still do not like that drop at the end.
Pteranodon Flyers - Once. It's a kid ride that adults can go on with a kid. Niko and I rode. You're in a small 'pterandon' and you fly over Jurassic Park. It takes a minute or two. From the ground it looks very calm and relaxing. The view was great. Then we went around the first turn. I dunno if it always swings that wide or if it was my adult weight affecting it or what but I suddenly felt that I was fifty feet up on a bicycle attached to the track by a rope. Was not comfortable at that point. Fear of heights kicked in and I was suddenly glad that it was a short ride. Yipes!
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls - Twice. You will get wet. Rode this just before the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle, which seemed fitting. After walking through a long and silly queue filled with Jay Ward type humor, including critters in the walk that do routines, you get to the lodge. You wedge yourself into a multi-person holding log and ride the water in the 'log fume'. Dastardly villain Snidely Whiplash has kidnapped Nell again and it's up to Dudley and Horse to save her. We see mostly immobile statues of the characters as we float through in various stages of activity, tied up, escaping, about to fight, etc. The characters 'speak' as we go past, all in the correct sounding voices. We climb and fall a bit until we reach the top of the mountain and Dudley accidentally detonates a pile of explosives. Boom! And down we go! There's a fifty foot or so drop, mostly straight down, that has a brief bump up in it about three-quarters of the way down. Three people back, I got very wet. Jason, in the front of the log, got soaked. People can also pay to squirt you with water at the bottom. The best gag is after the drop. Snidely has been captured and is in jail. A dog holds the key to his cell just out of his reach ala Pirates of the Caribbean. Right outside the cell is a dish of food labeled 'crow'. He's eating crow. Ha! Okay, maybe I just liked it but it was a very Jay Ward style joke to me.
The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man - Twice. Still a fun show. There's some rumors of refurbing it to change some scenes that don't 'work' anymore. I don't have a big problem with it as it is currently. The 3d is very good and the props help sell the show.
Storm Force Accelatron - Once. Once is enough. Plenty. It's fun but not that fun.
