Splashdown!
I went to Splashdown yesterday, thankfully before my symptoms began to appear, and had a great time. Thanks to Burton for giving me the head’s up and thanks to Jason for providing the ride. And thanks to Kam for…uh…comic relief?
Body Slides
Corkscrew - It’s super tame but often has a short line up. Not a bad way to start the day
Kamikaze - If you lay down the whole time you can get some pretty good speed.
Oliver Twist - More fun than the pub of the same name. It’s fast and quick, thus the line moves quickly. Exit the landing area quickly, your friend is likely right behind you.
Whipper Snapper - There’s an easily missed sign that tells you to sit up at a particular point - ignore this sign for airtime and concussion goodness.
Tube Slides
Black Hole (Single) - Fun and pretty dark but you don’t get very wet.
Black Hole (Double) - Pitch black and bone dry but good times.
Big Jim’s River Run - Best Slide In The Park. Hands Down. No Contest. Went on this like a dozen times and wanted more.
In conclusion, SO worth the $19.95 admission. I felt like a criminal for using my 2-for-1 coupon (thanks mommy). Of course this just makes my desire, nay, NEED to go to Cultus Lake all the stronger. Soon as I get this cold kicked I’ll be willing to give up vital parts of my anatomy to go…
