My Day at Walibi World
Amusement Parks are fun. They are particularly fun when you rarely have to wait in lines to go on rides. When we awoke this morning, it was raining so we decided we may need to depart later than previously planned. Luckily the rain ceased by the time we finished eating breakfast, and we set out as planned to go to Walibi World in the morning. We picked a fantastic day to go. We did not really have to wait in any lines to get on rides.
Rose is not too fond of roller coasters and they don’t make Caroline’s stomach settle very well. I think they are fantastic and Nick had a pretty good go at it. We began the day with a roller coaster that had a couple of loops. I enjoyed it as did Nick. Caroline and Rose did not go on it. Caroline asked if she would be able to handle it; Nick and I nodded approvingly. Apparently, this was very bad advice to give Caroline. After going on the ride, her stomach was quite upset for a little more than two hours. Eventually, it passed but we learned not to coax her onto many roller coasters.
They all thought I was crazy for the excitement I displayed for going on the rides, especially Caroline and Rose. I explained to them that I want to go sky diving, bungee jumping, parasailing, etc, etc. (Mom, like I said before…I won’t tell you until after I do it.) :)
The aesthetics of the place were quite good. When we arrived, one of the first comments out of my mouth was in reference to how cheerful the music was. At times throughout the day, I could be seen hopping and skipping throughout the park on the way to the next ride. My favorite rides include El Condor and Goliath.

I rode the log ride numerous times; it was one of Rose’s favorites. This log ride was unique because you went backwards down the first drop.
By the time the day was over, I was quite tired. I can’t wait until my next amusement park…I’m thrilled to go anytime but be careful if you tell me you want to go; I won’t let it coast over. I’ll catch my bearings and lock you in and won’t let it ride. Are you not amused? Park it.
