Thrills

Last week, Hector called asking if he should get tickets to Magic Mountain for Saturday night for a special private event. I said sure but wasn't exactly sure what the kids would be interested in since Magic Mountain specializes in roller coasters and my kids aren't the extreme enthusiasts (yet). But I thought it would be a great chance for them to see what was available and they could make their own decisions.

The park is closed at 6pm to the general public and only the wristbanded people can stay after that. From that point on, the park is practically empty. I don't think we had to wait more than a few minutes. Josh was not eager for a majority of the rides but he was especially pumped up for the Sky Tower (weird, because he is afraid of heights) and the funicular. Add the bumper cars and he was done for the night.

Tyler on the other hand was starting to get more adventurous. He tried the Gold Rusher (even I loved that as a kid) and the Revolution. I don't have pictures to show since it was night and most are blurry. Since we avoided the extreme rides at the park, we went through  the park in 2.5 hours. Yes, we are very efficient.
