fire and wolves
a dangerous weekend in newport news, with smoke filling the air (from the north carolina wildfire) and... well, i rode a roller coaster. the wolf-themed one. i saw no actual wolves, in part because there are no longer wolves kept in a preserve beneath the coaster, and in part because i was too busy screaming JASONNOTGOODNOTGOODNOTGOODOHGODNOTGOOD!
that was during the second half of the ride; the first half was fun, the second half was the kind of fun that doesn't feel fun until later.
we noticed that the napkins at the park claim that busch is the last major american-owned brewery or something like that. hah. not any more!
we have season passes, so next up: loch ness monster. happily, neither of us want to ride the griffin or the alpengeist. i'm kind of on the fence about apollo's chariot.
one coaster at a time.
