I don't remember where it was or the name, but one place had a slide, where when you got to the top you were shut inside what basically looks like a phone booth. The attendant person outside pushes a button (of course, not telling you when they're going to do so)... and the floor. drops. out. from underneath your feet!!!!

It was the buttomic wedgy of my life. <BR/><BR/>I haven't really done roller coasters and stuff like that since having children...I became a total wuss about that for some reason...so I decided to tackle my fear head-on with this ride. It kicked my butt (literally) but I got over my fear. <BR/><BR/>This was my FIRST time to Splashtown, and I think I only went to Schlitterbaun once in my childhood.

Madalyn has a friction burn on her back. From when she demanded that Michael drag her up the carpeted stairs.

I just can't even imagine. I had heart palputations just reading this... and all that went on... Donny... BRAVE... Remy... BRAVE... but they are kids they might not totally grasp the entire thought of flying 5 stories down on an open water slide... YOU ARE THE BRAVEST!! <BR/><BR/>I have a slight issue with heights... not a problem going up.. or looking down but getting down from them is always the difficult part for me... I know, I know... I'm strange!! <BR/><BR/>And I'm not at all into the free-fall feeling... ugh!! and when I say... not into it... meaning I HATE IT!! <BR/><BR/>You are one fun, crazy and brave family!! <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that Remy was okay and did more rides, but I'm so sorry that he got hurt to begin with. Those body slides are the worst with burns. :(<BR/><BR/>We went to Splashtown while visiting TX about 12-13 yrs ago, but it was the one is San Antonio. It was so much fun!! :)<BR/><BR/>xoxoxoxJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273782359824312027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-72204694002093894362008-07-23T10:07:00.000-05:002008-07-23T10:07:00.000-05:00OMG!!!
