Ok, so about 3 o'clock we (me and my mom) get to the park, I was like melting. We get in line to get our all day passes, and the guy in the booth had no clue what he was doing. and he kept getting on the phone and ignoring us. When we finally got our passes, we went and immediately tried to get on Desert Storm. Well, the idiot guy in the booth evidently didn't activate them, so when we put them into the little machine, we got nothing, I was already pissed at the park, amazing, it happened so fast. So we went and complained to guest services, and they, eventually, gave us brand new all day passes, that worked.

So we walk back over the bridge to Desert Storm, and finally get on, this was my moms first ride, and she was scared out of her mind, but she loved it! lol. Usual roughness, but not as painful in my special seat. Seat

4-B! yay!

Since I was melting, we went over and got some drinks, and then we went to ride The Patriot. A small kiddy coaster, but man, that thing is awesome, I think it beats Desert Storm, lol. As usual, we sat in the front, and just enjoyed the ride, it feels pretty fast, even though it really isnt. After a fun ride on The Patriot, we went over to Magic Carpet, a Musik Express type ride, but faster than the rest, and it goes backwards too...this thing is so cool, I love the force, and the backwards part. It has little hills, but its a shame you don't get any airtime from them. Soo...I felt kinda daring today, and since they usually scare me, I was suprised when I actually wanted to ride Sea Dragon, the park's giant swinging ship. Well, the last time I rode this thing, I was scared out of my mind, but this time, it wasn't that bad suprisingly. Of course, I still don't want to ride in the very back, thats like near vertical by the end of the ride.

Ok, so once again, it was time to ride Sky Diver, the new drop tower. It's 120 ft tall, and the tallest thing in the park. This ride is unusual for a drop ride, theres like no warning for the drop. You just get to the top and your let go, instantly, its like so suprising when your on it, and its quite scary for me lol. Then we went and rode Desert Storm again, in my seat..more fun fun fun.

Ok, so here's bad thing #2..I walked around for a while, taking pics of the rides, and the park staff started to yell at me everywere I went. I couldn't believe it, they didn't give me any trouble before, and I wasn't on the rides or anything, I mean, I was just taking pics of the rides, while standing on the ground, it was like so stupid!!

So it was about 6 o'clock now, yes, we take our time doing things. We went to go eat dinner. The park's food seems to have gotten worse. My burger was cold and chewy. Just all around yucky.

Bad thing #3

After eating, we went to do the rides one more time. Finally we made it to Splashdown, and waited in a longgggggg line. when we got to the station, it was like 8. So, we boarded our log, and off we went, on our hour and a half long ride. We made it just fine through the first drop, and all the way up the 2nd drop. Then we saw that a log, had stopped just before the drop. We bumped into it, and stopped too. We were stuck there for like an hour and a half, I don't know why they didn't get us off..but we were just sitting there, while the people in the little booth right next to us by the drop were trying to figure out what went wrong. Eventually, we were escorted off the ride, and that was that. So we went to get a night ride on Desert Storm before we left, and that was that..yea, its better at night..

So we went home, and just went to bed, that was that, the worst day I've ever had at Castles N' Coasters..
