::6 flags magic mountain::

the other half, sean & i had to make our way to set to 6 flags so early in the morning coz it was sooo far away, at valencia (further north from LA)! we took about 3 buses and it took us almost 2 hours just to get there (contributed partly to the low frequency of the buses there):(

me, the other half & sean - waiting for the connecting bus at san fernando metrolink interchange

the 3 daredevils in front of 6 flags magic mt!

if ur a thrillseeker, 6 flags magic mt is definitely the place for u! this theme park has the most most most extreme kind of rollercoasters around and boasts to have the "most rollercoasters in one park"! these rollercoasters, each with its multiple multiple multiple 360 deg turns and extremely extremely extremely high-speed manoeuvres (ok u get the picture?), will surely set ur heart thumping in this hair-raising (figuratively & literally) experience! omg. on hindsight, i wonder how i managed to "conquer" these rides - especially with my motion-sickness. haha. oh well. but it sure was a good experience, overall:)

the headsigns of the rides look pretty tame eh?

until u see this..
and this...

that is why such sturdy and strong harnesses are needed..

for the thrillseekers to hang on to their lives while they enjoy the ride as they get swung up down left right centre..

and u can tell how scary it is when people start SCREAMing even before the ride begin..

i guess the anticipation can really kill..

i enjoyed the riddler's revenge best coz it had a very interesting concept - it is the 1st stand-up roller coaster i have sat on!! yes we were standing throughout the ride..

tatsu - if u see closely, this rollercoaster has its thrillseekers in a crawling position! i didnt get to sit this ride though. coz i was resting, for i was feeling too nauseous (no thanks to my motionsickness) by the time we wanted to queue up for it:( bah.

but i think my most memorable ride would undoubtedly be the roaring rapids..

coz it made me totally soaked! as u can see, the other half and i were quite unlucky and we were really drenched to the skin:/ sean had amazing luck coz he managed to stay dry - and it was quite a feat considering how everyone else on our rapid boat was completely soaked too..
