Teen killed by roller coaster

I saw this article on the Internet today.  A teenager was at Six Flags over Georgia and he enter a restricted area while waiting in line for the Batman ride.  It says he climb on to a fence and somehow he was decapitated by the ride.  I never thought in my wildest dreams to enter a restricted area at an amusement park. I was always scared they would throw me out of the park for something like that. 

i remember back in the days when Disneyland had the Skyway from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland, it even went through the top of the Matterhorn.  It was like a huge ski lift that went over the park.  As kids we loved to go on the ride and spit at people down below.  Note we only did this when we rode the ride without our parents.  One time a Disneyland employee informed us if we ever did that again, we would be kicked out of the park.  That worked for me and I never did that again.

Anytime i waited in line for a cool roller coaster, I was always spending time watching it go by.  I  never thought of how to get into the restricted area.  I think that is why I like the game Roller Coaster Tycoon because I always wanted my own theme park. 

Not a good Saturday

It started out rather well. After I came home from work, we decided to take the kids to see Kung Fu Panda.  We met up with my wife’s friend and her daughter.  The kids did better than expected.  The boy got up a few times to goto the bathroom.  The princess spent most of the time running around the movie theater.  I really wanted to see how the movie was going to end, so I bribed the princess with some M & Ms.  It worked, and I saw the end of the movie. :>

Later that evening, my wife’s friend offered to watch the kids so we can go to IKEA to get a kids loft bed.  Of all the things we could do by ourselves and we go to IKEA .  We decided it would be easier to make a decision about the furniture without the kids.  We spent an hour deciding between two different loft beds and finally decide on one.  My wife and I hurried through the store to get ready to check out.  For the particular items we needed (the loft bed, the mattress, and a tent for the bed), we need to pick them up right before the register.  It’s rather simple, your are given an aisle number and a bin number.  The three items we came for were all out of stock.  That’s great!  This is not our day.

We went to pick up our kids and we stayed for dinner.  They had some delicious BBQ chicken and fresh gucamole and chips.  I wonder why my BBQ chicken does not come out like that?  So I guess this is a positive.

We came back to our place and found some teenagers in the pool. That is not surprising for a Saturday night.  They decided to vandalize the spa area by putting bubbles in the spa.   This can cause damage to the filtration system.  My wife asked them many questions and  of course none of them live in the area.  They hopped the fence out of the pool area and ran off to their car.  They were quite rude with their responses to my wife.  I can not believe teenagers today.  I don’t mind if they want to use the pool but just keep it quiet and don’t vandalize it.
