So last month, Jester's planned another sort of WiP Trip, but rather than a trip to Moab, we decided to keep it in the budget and decided to go to Lagoon. Well, most everyone was on board, but not everyone went on board. The trip ultimately fell to 3 people; Stephen, Jacob and Myself ended up going, and Nicole joined us for a bit along with her sister and another friend. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing but it's more fun with more people.
Anyways, The day at lagoon started with Stephen, Jacob and Myself. We got there at about 10:30 or 11 am, and were ahead of Nicole, so we decided to go on some rides before she got there. We started by tackling the
White Roller Coaster. It was fun, actually for me it was a blast since it was my first time on a roller coaster in over 8 years, and 4 since my last visit to Lagoon. We then decided to go on the
Wild Mouse, in which Stephen hurt himself in. We then proceeded to the
Music Express. This is a ride in which people of a party sit in a cart as the cars ride in a circle forcing all the people to move to the outer edges and squish the person who got in last. Well, its a fun ride, unless you're 3 grown dudes... 3 grown single male men... it got awkward real fast. Oh! Stephen was in the middle, that was fun.
After that Nicole and her sister, Gypsy (seriously, that's her name... I think), joined us. We started out by going in the
Centennial Screamer... in separate cars. Centrifugal Force in not cool with men, and Nicole didn't want any of us (mostly me) straddling her sister. After that we went on the
Wicked, which was amazing, and the then we went on the
Spider and the
Wild Mouse again. The Wild Mouse was too wild for me... it made me knuckle my crotch... that was harsh.
At that point we decided to take a break and go eat some food, we took the Gondolas... I was by myself. Sadness... Here's a picture of me riding by myself, Courtesy of Jacob.
And here's one of Jacob and Stephen in the one behind me.
We ate at Arby's had some laughs, I got emotional, and found out Gypsy's friend Jed was ditched by his friends (eventually we find out it was his family that ditched him) and then decided to go on some more rides. We decided to start out small,
Jet Star 2; now a brief description of the seating arrangements of the ride. 3 seats, 2 people per seat, straddling involved. in our group, 6 people, 4 dudes and 2 chicks. That's enough for now. So we get in line, and start talking until Stephen does the math I just did and explains it to us, Gypsy will go with Jed (doesn't want to get straddled by strangers) and Stephen calls dibs on Nicole. Jacob and I get stuck with each other. I decided if there's any male-to-male straddling going on I would do the straddling, so I sit in the back and Jacob in the... uh, front of the seat. So the ride starts, Jacob and I keep good male-to-male distance until the ride stops and breaks abruptly, it got real awkward, real fast. After a short pause and minute or two of walking around we decided to hit up the
Rocket: Re-Entry. That was a blast (that horrible pun was intended), mostly because Jacob was singing, which was cool and funny. Oh, I also hurt my crotch trying to get down off the ride, see the seats have this little piece of material in between the legs to prevent you from falling off, well it was high and I didn't clear it.
We then proceeded to have quite an experience in line for the
Samurai. In line we were surrounded in all fronts, in front of us was some random guy who kept trying to join our conversations at random. Behind us in line was a group of shirtless, sweaty, hairy, and drunk frat boys. The continued to heckle us, be annoying and were easily entertained by Jacob's Newman shirt and Nicole's tattoo. Eventually we made it to the ride, had a blast and separated ourselves from such company. At this point Nicole, Gypsy, and Jed decided to take a break and ultimately broke off from the group. Once again it was just Stephen, Jacob and myself. We got in line for the
Hydro-Luge, and decided to avoid unnecessary male-to-male straddling and went on separate luges.
Me then headed to
Rattle Snake Rapids, but the line was horribly wrong. We waited for about 30 to 45 minutes. We had some interesting conversations and played Deserted Island. Eventually we made it... but we felt guilty. Ginormous line behind us and only 3 of us in the raft... we need more people to make that ride awesome!! Anyways, to continue our journey we headed back to the other side of the park and dried up by going on the
Tidal Wave and
Turn of the Century. We then finished our
Trilogy of Wetness by going on the
Cliffhanger, where two things happened, Jacob was separated from us by the ride operator and Stephen and Jacob were told to get their hands restamped or else they would be escorted out of the park... in case you couldn't tell, the stamps had been wiped pretty clean off of their hands. We then went on the
Colossus/Fire Dragon which virtually had no line to it, and in which Jacob almost blacked out... I feared for. I was going to sit next to him but the ride almost started going so I sat where it was easiest to sit in... next to Stephen.
We decided to then finish the day off by going on one last ride,
The Wicked, yet again. Even better the second time around (if you know what I mean) and well worth the wait.
Overall that was the day, there were plenty of That's What She Said Jokes and If You Know What I mean Jokes too. there was plenty of awkward silences and conversation. And we talked about Jacob's mouth when he's on the phone. There's a lot more than can't be put on here, not cause it's dirty or private, but because that's just the way it is.
Straddling Jacob.
