The cool rides were "The Claw", "Wipeout" and "Mummy 3". "Mummy 3" was not a ride but a horror house where they made it dark and smoky. It was difficult to see and many times we bumped into walls and had made-up people jump out at us!
There was once where the person jumped out and scared us out of our wits. Then she (I think it was a she) went back into the wall but by then we lost our bearings and didn't know where the exit was, so we asked the wall "Where is the exit?", while still shivering. She answered in a gruffy voice "To the left". In our quaking voice we said "Thank you". My son (who is afraid of his own shadow) cried out "You are going to trust her??!?!?!". HAHA! I am sure I won't be arrested and tortured too much once his book on his tortured childhood comes out!
The other rides were "The Claw" which looks like the picture below. The round part where they sit is being swung like a pendulum while that round part turns. Just by looking at it has made my digestive system want to go in total reverse! Mikey and Aaron rode it....twice! Can you say "Yesterday's lunch"?
Another ride called "Wipeout" seats you in a longish contraption and twist and turns you upside down, inside out, downside in! I really salute people who can ride these type of rides whose design was obviously inspired by medieval torture contraptions!!!>
Some other thrill rides are like Mick Doohan's motor coaster where you sit in a simulated motor bike and cruise around REAL fast. The Giant Drop which freefalls you for some 100 feet and Tower of Terror (which was closed), a ride which propels you 90 degrees vertically and Cyclone, vomit inducing roller coaster.
Below are some of the Nicklelodeon rides as well as some cartoon characters popping out to take pictures with kids. That day the temperature was about 37 degrees upwards. I pity those folks in the costume. I bet they were high school kids who failed their finals and this is their detention.
