Wild Zone Adventures and the Endicott Emerald Mine Train 12/3

"Oh just **** it all..."
I woke up.

It was just another Saturday. Nothing to do but smoke, drink, and complain. And there I was laying in the middle of a room with a fifth and half a pack of Newports. I had a skullcrushing headache and remembered little of being attacked by the two greasers the night before. All I could hear in my head was the voice of my father saying,
"You have become the very thing you have hated."
"What, a person who pokes things with sticks...?"
I knew there was no escape from this pain, we could not escape those greasers. We were all going to get Texas Chili Bowls. And yet still hope remained as I recieved a vision. I saw a heavenly fairy of pink dresses and stary wands. She told me I wasn't looking for the anwser to my inner self, but the question. I knew the question, just as well as she did.
"What is the Enicott Emerald Mine Train?"
Then small childs appeared around the fairy saying...
"Follow the 401 East..." they chanted
"What?"
"Follow the 401 East..."
"Ok?"
"Follow the 401, Follow the 401, Follow the 401 East!!!"
"Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow,...Fallow the 401 East!!!"
Confused and disturbed I acted quickly
"Ahh **** you." and hit one in the face and quickly escaped my own self. I ran for what seemed like forever until I arrived at TA2KX's house. I couldn't gather my thoughts but I told him we had to go to Canada and ride the Endicott Emerald Mine Train. Exhausted I passed out in the car unable to control my fate.
I awoke driving into the entrance of the Wheels Inn, in Chatham Ontario. Phased and dazed, I made out a sign that said 401 East. The sign read, welcome to Wild Zone Adventures. I had arrived. I remembered little about the drive other than the perfect black X in the sky and the license plate of the car saying "NOTSAFE". I opened the door and went into the mysterious dungeon.

This enchanting little scene of an area was quite delightful. There was bumper cars, spinning cups, and even an indoor ferris wheel. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Mine Train, but dare not look directly at it.

Bumper Cars
Nothing special, it was the ones with the bumper full of air I think. It was very hard it get a critical hit unless you sandwich someone. The trick was to wait in the corner, and when the oppurtunity arose, attack at full speed and hope for a good reaction. I had two or three hard hits, but nothing that could hurt the people the way I wanted to.

Spinny Cups
This mild ride was turned wild as the self rotatable cup was put into the hands of two ex-high school football players. The force was so great, it almost got to the same pressure as a Starship 2000. The only thing was, the top ring of the cup only went halfway up are spines, so are back were starting to buckle backwards under the force. We had to duck down into the cup to actually survive the ride.

The Oz
Exploring the area, I stumbled upon a great being who I could only identify as the Face of Oz. Embedded into stone, this supernatural being spoke of the Emerald Mine Train and my destiny. I can't go into much detail as he is very powerful and stuborn. TA2KX managed to get a picture of me standing right next to it. But the Face of Oz sent a myst of darkness from his mouth, and it is very hard to make out anything from the picture.

Endicott Emerald Mine Train
Forth I came to challenge this monster. Free would I be from the voices and greasers. I took the front row awaiting my transformation. Suddenly the tires began and I could not go back. I ascended to a fair height and then plummeted to the side down the first hill. I still felt nothing but a tunnel was next. The kind of tunnel was short but just crazy nevertheless. The final turnaround and I was back into the station. I came off feeling empty and knew nothing had changed. Suddenly wisedom came and I realized that these visions were a result of the roller coaster off-season. The Mine Train was pathetic and failed to fill my need. 3/10

On the way home, I got a little teaser. Pulling back into the U.S., our car stopped at a red light and a white focus pulled up a little in front of us so their trunk was parallel to our hood. I could really go for a drag race right now I thought. But to my shock, the driver was looking straight at me. It was an attractive burnette girl. Wow I thought flattered, due to the position of the cars, she had coxed her head beyond 90, to a good 135 degrees. "Ok I'll play" I said and stared directly back at her. Now usually this is the part of courtship, where the female is supposed to realize she has been caught and drop her eyes. But they didn't, and I started to freak out being caught off guard. We stared directly for a good 6 to 7seconds, which seems like an eternity if you have ever done it. I couldn't take it and I cracked. I started laughing and mouthed, "hey what are you looking at?" Her eyes opened widely as if to suggest she had not realized I had been staring right back. She turned to the other 3 girls in the car and appeared to be giggling. TA2KX heared me laugh and asked, "What are you laughin about?" "Dude, check it out". After that we just dueled with our cars, having near misses and weaving. Finally my adrenaline was working again and the visions and greasers went away.
