During my vacation we decided to go to the water park. Well I went on this slide called the Turbo slide. Here's the description:
Hold on tight for the ride of your life. Climb 10 stories high to the top of the world's tallest tubular slides, the Turbo Twisters. These 3 completely enclosed dark tubes will send you spiraling down through the darkness at an exhilarating 50 feet per second. The Turbo Twisters are not for the faint-of-heart.
Yeah... well I wish I would have read that before I decided to give it a try!
So here I am, thinking, you can't go to a water park and not try out the biggest slide there is!!! So I head up there with hubby, who later turned around because he's afraid of heights... what a wuss... it's only 10 stories high.
So I climb the rest of the way by myself at this point my legs are on fire. And I'm starting to feel the push of the wind against me! Anyways I get to the top... thank god there was a slight line up or I wouldn't have had enough breath to scream all the way down the slide.
Now it's my turn, the guy tells me to cross my arms and legs. For I'll say the first 5 secs, I'm thinking this is relaxing... I'm gonna love this RRRRIIIDDDDE!!!!!!!!!!! That's me yelling. I was thinking to myself calm down, don't be such a pussy kids go on this ride.
Next thing you know, just when I think I can't go any faster, I take a turn and now my face is flapping like dogs hanging out the car window and my body is shacking. Now I know why it's a completely enclosed tube... we wouldn't want to scare the kids away with the freak of natures that come spiraling down the tube!
By this point I'm having such a convulsion attack I must have looked like an epileptic on speed! There was one point where I thought, OMG I'm going to puke... and just then, I come flying out of the tube slamming into a body of water. The only thing that was crossed after that ride were my eyes. I literally couldn't keep my legs closed (yeah, yeah shuddap!) with the force in which I hit the water upon exit. I tell ya it was a forced douche... and not the "good" kind, more like painful and well I dunno... but it was just an awful feeling!
Slide ride over, I head over to hubby who gives me this look, uncertain due to the look on my face how I've enjoyed the slide. "So?!" he says. "It was great, not scary at all!" I said. He bursts out laughing and says "surrre, I think everyone in the park heard you screaming, and besides you look petrified!"
Never in a million years did I think I'd end up doing the walk of shame at a water park!
