Five hojillion rides later (oh, my poor tender tummy) and a stiff dose of junk food (oh, my poor tender tummy) we have returned to find the building in one piece. A great day. Company money well-spent. We even won a hundred bucks doing a little Amazing Race action on site.
Maigen totally wanted to make out at the top of the ferris wheel. EEW!
There’s a famous picture floating around somewhere featuring this ride from sorta this angle but I think I like mine better. It features insane children trying to get themselves killed.
Vancouver’s Playland features a world famous wooden rollercoaster build in 1956 or so. Built in 1956 I said. Fifty years ago. Half a century old wooden rollercoaster, is what I’m trying to say. Wood. Fifty year old rollercoaster. So of course we had to go on it.
It was freakin’ scary. But it wasn’t the ride that beat Maigen. That would be the Hellevator:
I didn’t have so much trouble with that one, for some reason. But I’m that guy who thinks jumping up & down in elevators is funny. At any rate, we had a very good time on the company dime. I would even go so far as to say we earned it. We currently feel like this guy:
So g’night. Oh, and in half an hour or so… Happy Birthday, my beloved Maigen. You are the brightest star in my sky.
