You can barely see it, but someone glued army men to the rocks outside the exit of a ride.
So Sex God turned forty something this month and he found a special deal on Magic Mountain tickets through LivingSocial.com and I went with him as his B-Day present. It was a good deal. $55 for admission, 1 free ride pix & an all you can eat picnic buffet. It was for a specific day & I had the kids, but the Ex took my older boys camping for Scouts so I parked Conor with Grandma.
Apocolypse ride
And it was a pretty great B-day for Sex God because the weatherman was predicting rain. But it barely sprinkled and 6 Flags doesn’t consider that enough to close most of its rides! Yet apparently everyone ELSE decided to skip going cuz the park was pretty empty for a Saturday!
We first went to X2 but the ride was being fixed, we found out while in line, so we hopped out of line and hit Viper instead. And I remembered how much fun and terrifying roller coasters were! But I survived and Sex God was ecstatic! And almost no line for the next one! After which I discovered I was starting to get a queasy stomach.
This ride has the best first drop & then straight into a tunnel. After that its just loops & loops!
Apparently either age or the fact I was going from one roller coaster to another with almost no break was setting off my equilibrium… my seasickness was kicking in. (Just like when I got hugely drunk at ILCA & was feeling sick but couldn’t induce vomited no matter how much I tried.) I bravely fought if off with snacks & breathing and went on the next ride! lol My sister-in-law told me later she took Bonine & didn’t have a single nauseous moment. Okay!
Hmmm. I felt warmth.. was that fire? Yes, Yes it was.
When I hit my limit Sex God sweetly let me sit a ride out! haha. Then suckered me into the X2 minutes before they closed the park. I soooo didn’t want to go even more when I heard about the ride’s flipping chairs! Cuz by then it was dark! But before I knew it I was strapped in.
I treated it just like birth. Knowing it wasn’t longer than 4 minutes I figured I could tolerate the ride if I kept my eyes closed. I felt warmth & light & wondered if we’d just spun through fire. (Sex God later confirmed that with a “Oh yea!”) I did peak just once and I was soooo glad I’d decided to keep my eyes shut! The world was a giant spinning blur.
Cuz I have to take my glasses off for roller coasters and lets admit it… I’m pretty blind!
It’s probably a reason I don’t stare at the face of my men during sex… I can’t see you!?!
