Great America day.

I went to Great America today with my brother, my cousin, my niece, my nephew, and my nephew's friend. We only went on three roller coasters (well, four if you count the observer thing near the entrance) and that tea cup ride (I don't know the name) where you're supposed to get dizzy and puke; I didn't get dizzy or puke. I recorded all the rides with my camera except the tea cup one. The first ride is probably, in my opinion, the best roller coaster: Top Gun. Then, we went on The Vortex, then Invertigo. A thing about the Invertigo is we waited for an hour and five minutes to get in the front. So worth it, in my opinion.

After, we left like before four and went to my cousin's house; we had dinner there and watched Spider-man 2. Then, we went home and that's that.




These ARE captures from my videos and are NOT pictures I took with my camera individually. You can tell because there's no date printed in the corner, so HA! Another thing, this is probably the first time I'm posting pictures at 640x480 (the size of the video) because it looks worse smaller. It IS blurry now so it doesn't matter.

Ask me if you want me to send you the videos of any or all of the rides. Wendy is first on the list. =) Sizes of the videos are as follows in order of the captures: 43.2 MB, 38.4 MB, 51.7 MB, 64.3 MB. If not, then okay. I will judge.


These captures are from different parts of the rides; the parts that I thought would be nice showing.

Top Gun

Going up the lift on Top Gun.


About to drop down.


I think this is before (or going into) the loop-the-loop.


I say this is the signature part of Top Gun; the corkscrew.


Finishing the round-about at the end.


We finished.

The Vortex

About to be lifted on the lift of The Vortex.


We reached the top and about to drop down.


In the middle of the loop-the-loop.


Going through the loop-the-loop.


The signature part of The Vortex: the long corkscrew.


We finshed and this ride has super brakes because we abruptly stopped.


The Invertigo

Backing up and being pulled up the lift.


Waiting for the mechanism to drop us.


It's hard to describe this but it's the first thing out of the starting place. Maybe a loop-the-sideways-corkscrew-thing.


Entering the loop-the-loop.


Exiting the loop-the-loop. You can see my legs' shadow on the right on top.


It's the top of the lift on the other side.


Bye to the lift on the other side.


It's that part again.


No more riding.


The Observer ThingYeah, I'm too lazy to search the name.

This is Great America's parking lot at three something in the afternoon. A lot of vehicles!


Top Gun is on the left, and The Vortex is on the right. The water rides are back there.


Drop Zone is back there, The Invertigo is on the left, and the flying-thing-ride (I don't know the name but the one you pay $15) is obviously there in the middle.


The Merry-Go-Round with two levels at the entrance.


You can see me waving (it's not animated though) in the reflection because the ride ended and this post has ended too.
