So my company, which is very large, rented out a big amusement park on Sunday so that all the employees could have a company picnic. It was awesome. You know how normally you have to stand in line for an hour to go on each ride? Well on Sunday, there was no line. You could ride roller coasters over and over.
We then promptly made the determination that you can only take so many roller coasters in a row. We only went on three before we pooped out. The third roller coaster, the one that convinced us to refrain from more roller coasters for a while, has these seats that look normal enough, but once you are strapped in, the seats lean backwards 90 degrees, and then flip you UNDER the rails, so you are suspended in a flying position under the track.
Oh MY GOD it was freaky.
In other notes, we had super-crappy hamburgers, hot-dogs, and chicken fingers. We also did bumper cars and I hit that sweet spot on grumblecake’s car that made her spin around an entire 360 degrees, just like on all the car chase shows on TV, but much slower and with bumpers.
Also, we found out where yet-to-be-discovered Broadway performers live (in “Salute to Country” shows with only 6 disinterested people in the audience [indeed the only reason we were there was to frosty beverages]).
