"Take it from an old spectator. Life's not a spectator sport. If watchin' is all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without ya." -The Hunchback of Notre Dame
I limped over to where David and Aunt Pat were and re-counted my tale of pain and humiliation, which I'm sure reaffirmed Aunt Pat's decision to not partake in the wedgie slides. All three kids came flying down the slides about then and begged David to go back up with them, which he did. Aunt Pat went to sit and read her book and I was left alone hoping the throbbing pain would subside soon.
When the four of them slid down again and rejoined me, we decided to move on to the next thing, which turned out to be multi rider raft rides. Adam, Daisy and I got in one, David and Joey followed us in another. The rafts float along rather quickly, spinning in the current and go under multiple waterfalls, which much to Adam and my amusement all seemed to pour down on Daisy. This was rather a rough ride on an already tender area of my body, so I chose not to go on the one next to it, but David and the kids did. They were up and back down quickly and then we continued our walk around Typhoon Lagoon.
We entered the Crushin Gusher area and I sent David and the kids off to ride it without me. I was still feeling the affects of the atomic water enema and I wanted to just sit for a little while. Plus I had been thoroughly scared off of Crushin Gusher by DizneyDawn's misadventure on it.
Hey...You thought of me on your trip...I am in tears as we speak...
I am glad the legend of the anus stapler lives on...

"I'll pose for pics & sign autographs"
Now don't get me wrong, I laughed until tears were running down my face at her unfortunate experience, but I did not want to repeat it for myself.
Chicken pooper
The just sitting seemed to be helping as I no longer felt slightly sick to my stomache. After watching them all coming flying out laughing three or four times, I decided to join them. However I mandated that I would only ride with David. I don't know about anyone else, but when I go on rides with the kids I feel the need to protect them. On this ride I only wanted to think about saving myself not anyone else. Also I told David he had to sit in front, I felt safer that way.
We climbed to the top, my nervousness mounting with every step. I think if there had been a "chicken out" exit at the top I would have taken it. There wasn't however, so we chose the Pineapple Tunnel and all I could do was sit behind David and hope I survived.
The signal to go came and off we went. Wow! This ride was awesome! It was really like being on a water rollercoaster. I was immediately mad at myself for not trying it sooner. The end does tend to launch one or more of the riders off, which generally results in getting dunked underwater. David and I went once more, this time choosing the Banana Tunnel which I liked even better, it had an extra drop. Crushin Gusher was a lot of fun and gets a huge thumbs up from our family!
Notice the top of the slide when it is still encircled......that is where the tube was suspended sideways when we got dumped...again...we did not have any photos cause Poloroid Paul was too busy staring at our launching to snap a Disney Moment...
