Something About Nothing..........# 9

homies here, take a vote, yea or nay........should camE try the Mummy..

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

I was asking if someone could PLEASE convince me that the Mummy wasn't that bad. Roller coasters scare the bejesus outta me, but I really want to ride something out of my comfort zone, at least ONCE while on vacation.

It really isn't that bad ... and that's coming from someone who doesn't do coasters (I'd never do Hulk in IOA or Rip Ride Rocket)

Hey youse.....

I would vote no ,the Mummy is the only coaster I have riden then swore never to do again.

I love coasters and I dont think they could build one speed wise or gforce wise that I would not try but the Mummy scares the bejesus oot me....COZ ITS....WELL..... SCARY !!!!!!!!!!

But that said if your not afeard of the dark,yer own shaddow and dont have to check the cupboards for monsters before bed then go for it,coaster wise it not so bad.

You definately need to go on at least once. Its a fantastic ride and the themeing is beyond great.

And I say this as a former ride chicken who wouldn`t do Splash Once I had conquered that fear there was no stopping me. I do everything now.....the bigger and faster the better

I did think RRR would be too much for me last year (the first climb looked horrific) but I did it and loved it beyond my expectations. I even managed to open my eyes after the fourth or fifth time on it

Give it a go......I`ll bet you love it

 

[Coach81]

Morning guys.. happy hump day!!!

 

[macraven]

it's morning time already?





and wednesday/hump day?

 

[tink20]

Yes, ride the Mummy (at least once) I hope I like it. But now I am a little concerned about DS not liking it (oh well, he told me he would ride anything, as long as it didn't go upside down, I will have to remind him of that if he gets )

Oh, and I will try to avoid the East wing at PBH (thanks for the warning)

Coach, thanks for the Seaworld info, I hope we can add the day, but not sure yet!

Marci, enjoyed the trip report and

I had to go back to the DR (kidney problems again) hope this gets better before my trip

Everyone, have a spectacular (sp, oh it doesn't matter here) day!

Good afternoon homies
Been so bummed here lately cause my dental problems have stopped our trip to the darkside this year but with a little saving and getting DW onboard it looks like we will be able to do a 4 day trip just have to wait after we get back to get work started on my dentures and not to mention I was selected for jury duty

 

[macraven]

tink20, sending mummy dust to you for your kidneys.

ps. don't eat chili that has kidney beans in it.
maybe that will help.




St Lawrence, yippee..............4 days at the darkside is better than no days at the darkside.
i am so tickled to read you do get to make the trip this year.

besides, it is more fun to have vacation than to have teeth.

 

[macraven]

add to the list anytime you can.




and, come back and play with us.

today's question is by camE

"should I try the Mummy ride, will I be scared?"

 

[minniejack]

Ditto


And as someone who constantly checks Amazon to see other's opinions, I won't rely on others opinions again. I tried these chips called Beanitos in the BBQ flavor--yummy. Well, the reviews of the cheddar said how wonderful and how great they were... They were gross to say the least--at least I don't have a whole case of them.

IMHO Try it Mikey. You might like it!

KY Were you ever in the armed forces? It seems like I never get jury duty but DH always gets picked every two years. My DD's dad was in the Army, he gets the jury card a lot, too. DH just got a ton of paper work to complete for a murder trial. Yikes--but the not the first one that he's had to do.

Im quite amused by the lingo to be quite honest. I feel surrounded by my 40 year old uncle who thinks hes "kewl" But I'd glad to be apart none the less.

Anyways, The Mummy is an amazing ride! You might be a little frightened (if you aren't fond of mummys or darkness) at first ride but after one go around of learning where everything is you will be just fine and be able to ride with easy!

@DonaldDuck--
I hear you! One of my friends got a big old oak tree limb right through his windshield. Luckily my car survived and all the limbs just fell in the yard But it's still a mess to clean up. There goes my free weekend!

 

[RAPstar]

i have no idea when you are doing the darkside and HHN......
totally confused now.


i think you really are a blonde.

Well......my friend Chip decided not to go.....so I changed my plans completely (and for the last time) and am going to Disneyland instead!

Hi All - remember me? Think this is the longest I've gone without even checking these forums. Not much to say about life in general (positive at least at this point ), but I did want to stop in and let you know I finally got another day of my trip report done. For those of you who remember it vaguely! Stephen and I head out for MIT on Thursday for the Pre-Frosh weekend which just sounds like a blast for him at least - if I get a chance I'll post some of the cool activities he gets to do while I get to sit and listen to Financial Aid seminars and lectures on how to keep my child healthy in his first year of college! But for now, the trip links at least:

Day 6 - Part 1

Day 6 - Part 2

off to check 'er out! im rather taken aback too by the who parents being 'summoned' to college for 2 day seminars. Since when did that start? My last kid all they cared about was getting the check in the mail a month before college began.

im ready to strangle my youngest who turned down a free ride to PITTin lieu of Robert Cook Honors College @ IUP (Indiana University of PA). Then he promptly told the army he wasn't interest in the ROTC scholarship there either although he still wants to take several military science classes. Im trying hard to convince myself that the small enrollment (100 kids, divided into 4 classes of 25 kids, for all their liberal arts/general studies) & endowment that funds study abroad/internships is a tradeoff. Now he'll probably spend years living in our basement paying school loans off oh well, that's the way my vacation fund evaporates lol.

StL Im so happy for you & the mrs.

tinydancer09 - 40? your uncle is a baby in homie=age. We strive to entertain each other here, keeps us relatively sane.

I promise you the theming/ darkness/etc... of The Mummy won't effect me at all (I laughed through all the Nightmare on Elm Street's ... I'm a psycho I know- then again, the scene in Seven where the seemingly-corps-ish man takes one last breath, sent me flying over the couch ...) anyways, I'm a ride-chicken like none other. My 2-yr-old sat in front of me on Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster laughing, while I screamed "Oh my GOD, Oh boy, Oh no, Oh geez...."
