SeaWorld: Finally

You can now finally see the event that was announced in June. This is the new series "pilot" you could say, so let's get cracking (foreshadow!).

To open up I'd like to start with a very fun family theme park we visited. SEAWORLD! We haven't been at Seaworld since I was in second grade, so this brought back some memories and definitely created more memories.When we walked up and into the park, we took the picture by the whale on the wall as usual. Then Mom and I rode the AWESOMEST COASTER EVER: Manta!!!

In Manta, you get seated like you were getting on an inverted coaster (i.e. Montu), and all of your body parts are strapped in without you even knowing it. When it's time for lift-off, it turns you on your stomach, and then you stay like that for the duration of the ride, giving you the illusion like you're flying. One part I remember clearly is when they do a corkscrew. The coaster usually has a sound it makes as it speeds along the track. Manta was making that sound, but when it flipped you, there was a moment of silence, except for the chorus of riders going "Woah!" in amusement of being literally on their back. I would strongly recommend this ride whether you're a coaster fan or not. Tip: Don't sit on the far right. You may get wet as you zoom past a waterfall.

We then saw and did the usual, ate the tasteless, expensive pizza, and went on the Wild Arctic motion simulator ride (only precaution: It can be rough). And then I rode something I never rode before:

I rode the Kraken. My first floorless coaster!! It's a milestone. While SheikRa (foretaste!) is very smooth and does not flip you as much, Kraken can be merciless and may leave you a little dizzy if you are not used to its flips and turns without a floor.

That's all I can remember. If you want to see pics of SeaWorld, I recommend you look on my mom or dad's Facebook page. It was very very fun.
