Magic Mountain

Evan and I went to Magic Mountain today! I drove there, making this my first time driving in the LA area. It was alot like driving in the bay area, since it was raining. You know how you feel when you're on a sugar low? That's about how I feel, with a little dizziness mixed in. I had to warm up to the coasters, so of course Evan takes me on X first, which is this crazy coaster that flips you round as you go through the track. Wow. It was nice, though, since I got a free ticket and Evan had a season pass. I was stupid on X, though, and left my ticket in the locker they provided that had the essential code on it, so I had to get one of the workers to open the locker after we were done with X. After lunch we went straight to Batman; I got really dizzy when I got off, but it wore off by the time we got to Riddler's Revenge. I think it was because all my blood was in my stomach, not my head. It was raining really hard when we rode Riddler's Revenge, but it was really fun. Aunt Jeannette leant me a poncho, which I had over a windbreaker, so while my face was soaked, the rest of me wasn't. It was kinda hard riding Riddler, since the rain was hitting our faces like hail. Then I got my courage up and rode Goliath (which is really stupid of me, as I grayed out on that ride before). Sure enough, my vision grayed over when we hit those 4.5 Gs. Okay, my vision will usually gray over slightly on roller coasters, but rarely more than half of my vision. Goliath makes me lose around 80% of my vision, and I can feel it creeping further, but fortunately at about that point the ride ends. Goliath wasn't so bad as I remembered, though. Then I went on Scream, then Colossus (a wooden coaster that I really liked, since it didn't make me gray out), and then on Scream again. Then we decided to go home. Of course, at about this point the sun came out, but went hiding again when I started driving. Figures. But at least the rain kept the crowds down. The longest we had to wait for a ride was half an hour, and that was because they only ran one train per ride.
