I arranged an USS trip for my three P3 students. Two of them are timid, and one is just like me.
Our first ride was the Transformers ride. I thought it was just another 4D ride that is stationary (like the Shrek 4D), but it turned out to be a roller coaster ride. Experiencing the fall from a building in a vehicle is definitely one of its kind, and being pulled by some other ally machines and fly into the building was definitely one amazing recount that keeps playing in my mind over and over again. However, 2hours for queuing really spoils the mood.
Then we spent some time taking those teacup-look-alike ride. Although I did not exactly enjoy it, I do hope that the timid ones will.
We headed for pizza after the ride. Ordered family combo and thankfully we managed to finish most of it.
As our tummy were heavy with our lunch, we headed for something light: the donkey show. Donkey's humorous character made everyone very happy.
After which was the Shrek 4D, which of course isn't as cool as transformers. However, it's unique presentation makes it enjoyable too. With spider legs touching you, water splashing at you, and the seats moving does make you scream every now and then.
We went to Waterworld next. I want the children to experience real explosives and gunshots, and the setup of the film's scene. We had an amazing trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The brave student of mine went to the Galatica roller coaster with me, while the other two went for a similar but safer ride in The Lost World, called the Canopy Ride. The roller coaster was awesome! Fast and efficient! I don't mind going up again and again. Too bad we were pressed for time. After we had our roller coaster ride, we took the canopy ride too. It is safe because the speed is not accelerating at a super high speed. Nothing to scream about, but it's worth the hour wait.
We closed this whole trip with shopping. I bought a transformers t-shirt while each girl bought one cotton candy. One of the timid ones bought a transformers bubblegun, while the brave one bought additional donkey magnet and Galatica roller coaster picture.
The way home was a painful one. Our legs were feeling tired and the two timid ones kept complaining as if they're the only ones feeling tired. I was just disappointed in their lack of self-control. Nevertheless, I tried to refrain myself from blowing up and just talk logically to them and tell them how complaining will only worsen instead of making the condition better.
I tried to send the timid ones home before 10pm but the public transport system was not cooperating. Really frustrating when we were counting down the time while waiting for the bus 293. In frustration, we hailed a taxi and got in, sent them home one by one, and walked home. Thankfully they were home safely and the trip officially has a good ending.
Thank God for amazing weather and obedient children. I also thank Him for the opportunity to host this trip. My next trip to USS shall be as a lone ranger because I'm starting to appreciate my time alone. :)
