juz got back from 欢乐谷 with junie, deqiang, yinyue and jeffrey! it's an amusement park near our place. tks abt 20rmb to cab there. we started off great coz gt a lady had extra student tickets and she wanna sell to us at 125rmb (the original price is 140rmb). we kinda doubted her at first but she said can pay her when we get into the park and everything went smoothly. yeah money saved! =)
the rides were seriously crowded, ranging from half an hour to 2 hrs of waiting time. we took 8 rides in total and watched a pretty lame show at the v end.
1) trojan horse 特洛伊木马
waiting time: 30min
the first ride of the day.
nothing special, juz the usual spinning up and down machine tt every amusement park will have.
2) jungle racing 丛林飞车
waiting time: 30mins
very mild roller coaster.
mild until i can take photos when it is on the move. took it coz the queue seemed short and all the other exciting rides were nt opened yet.
3) golden wings in snowfield 雪域金翅
waiting time: 1hr
360 degrees leg-hanging roller coaster.
pretty cool. yinyue's saliva was all over her when the ride ended.. ewwww. and jeffrey's expression was classic.
4) twin-tower heroes 天地双雄
waiting time: 30mins
free-fall tower.
shiok. i think this is the first time i put both my hands up in the air for the whole ride. crazy experience.
5) flying ant squad 飞蚁战队
waiting time: 15mins
flying swing.
one of my fav rides at any amusement park thou it's juz a simple non-exciting ride. i love the wind in my face. somebody vomited on lucky yinyue when we got down from the ride. totally disgusting, can see tt she had alot of tomatoes for lunch. haha!
6) disk "O"
waiting time: 30mins
some spinning up and down thing again.
i lost my necklace pendant on this one! sad.... lost memories. underestimated the ride. i thought it's juz another mild ride so din tk it out. but the ride itself was fun! we all held hands high in the air and screamed until we got so tired.
7) crystal wing 水晶神翼
waiting time: 45mins
superman roller coaster.
the most unique ride in the park. i've nv seen something like this in any other amusement parks i had been to. it's a roller coaster where u sit facing downwards, so it feels like u are superman, literally in the flying position. damn cool... feels much more scarier than it actually is.
8) apollo wheel 太阳神车
waiting time: 1hr 30mins
longest waiting time! it felt like ages when we queued for the ride, partly bcoz we were already v tired by the end of the day and the sun was still scorching hot. but trust me, it's worth the wait. it's a pirate ship alike thing juz tt the wheel spins as it goes up. and it goes so much higher, maybe 150 degrees more it will reach 360 le. v crazy ride to end the day with. and i let go of my hands again! hair was flying everywhere and they caught a photo of me looking like a super crazy woman.
that's all the rides we took. although the park closes at 10pm, most of the rides were closed before tt. so at around 530pm, we left the park. i wldnt mind repeating some of the rides but we were all too tired i guess. and some of them were feeling dizzy. lol...
we really wanted to tk "the odyssey", the plunging down ride tt will splash alot of water. but the waiting time was crazy (abt 2hrs). so we gave it up. when the boat plunged in, it's the greatest amount and furthest distance of water splashed up tt i've seen before.
yeah a fun day! i love amusement parks.. we are thinking of going again next year but on a weekday instead. then we can avoid the crowd and get to go as many rounds as we like. anw they are building a new section which includes yet another roller coaster! it will be ready by summer vacation this year.
tml will be another tiring day. we are going 京东大峡谷.
