La Ronde, Part 2 - A Fistful Of Fun
Saturday, July 06, 2002
Inside the park, everything looks... different.
Hey, there's a pond in here!
A group splinters.
The first event... Le Monstre.
Those people are in fear of their lives.
This ride is both bad-ass and rickety.
Let's get busssaaaaaah!
Susan does not seem impressed.
Lisa seems less impressed at PhotoDude; Ruby can't stop giggling.
Nothing calms the stomach after a high-velocity amusement park ride than a meal at McD's.
Gather 'round kids, it's fry time.
ruby explains to the others why she spent 5,00$ on poutine.
Note: drink plenty of fluids.
How cute is that!!
Many levels of fun.
Next up... the Super Manege!
That's a lot of people in line for a thirty second ride.
After one ride, Peter is already bug-eyed and freaky.
Peter takes a picture of Val.
Val reciprocates.
Peter -- master of the Skunk Eye.
Enjoying the Line Ride!
How freaky is this: taking a picture of a camera viewing the viewfinder of a third camera showing a picture of a camera. Woah.
Hey, nice feet.
Getting close to the front of the line...
Some hard facts on the Super Manege. So, with an average velocity of 70 km/h (19.4 m/s), and a track length of 750 m, a person's duration on this puppy is an astonishing 38.6 seconds.
After waiting nearly an hour in line... it's almost here.
Peter and Lisa are strapped in and ready for action.
The anticipation is killing me.
And they're off! First Peter and Lisa.
Followed by Val and Sujan.
With Sean and Ruby brining up the rear! It's going to be a tight race!!
And here is the course.
Gravity defying.
Coming 'round the bend!
Successful completion!
Everyone: "An hour in line... for that?!"
