Online Magazine

I think the magazine is a great Idea that Mr. Mayo came up with! This is not going to be a long post but i'm going to tell what i think of it! It is a wonderful idea for kids to write about things we like, and not be judged because Mr. Mayo says to put no comments but thank you Mr Mayo for this opportunity

Kings Dominion

All right, now this is my last post of the school year, I know so sad, But I thought I could do a post on my Favorite theme park Kings Dominion! a wonderful theme park north of the great Busch Gardens Williamsburg, in Doswell Virginia, In this monster park there hail 12 masive scream your head off thrill machines, and the newest addition to this frightining  is the The Italian Job roller coaster which looks like alot of fun I'll keep you posted about that one! This is a picture of Anaconda That is a coaster based on the movie anaconda! This ride acts alot like Lochness at Busch Gardens but a little less fun, but still good. I don't have alot of time so just check out Kings dominion Dot com. I'm out bye!

The Monster Beneath the Lake

Are you ready for a thrilling coaster...one that is the most fun also. The Loch Ness Monster is a wonderful ride for your whole family, this coaster is at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. You have to be 50 inches to ride this wild ride or you can be 48 inches and ride with an adult. The giant beast of a coaster is 114 feet high, that's 13 stories, That's alot of coaster! How you start off the ride is your in the station and the manager says "go" and then you slowly go to your doom as you go through turns as you aproach the chainlift. While you go up you here that click, click, click and you think "hat the heck put me on this ride in the first place?" when you reach the top you go in a little dip, and then take a right-hand turn into the massive 114 foot drop! Down you go at 60 miles per hour then up into a turn over The Land of the Dragons and down into a loop. After the loop you go into a brakerun and into a tunnel. As you come out of the tunnel you hit a second chainlift which is 40 feet high and down the drop you race, only to go up into the second loop that interlocks the first loop. Right after the loop say cheese for the camera! Then for last you go up into the break run! It might sound kind of thrilling, but once yo u ride it you want go again and again!!

Kumba

   I'm Back and yes I'm writing about Busch Gardens in Florida still. Ask your self something, would you ride a roller coaster with one of the largest loops in the world? Well, Kumba is the best roller coaster in Tampa! Kumba starts off going up the chainlift, rather slowly, and then you take a diving turn into the grassy plains and up into the loop. The massive 90 foot loop around the chainlift. Then back into a corkscrew and a barrel roll to top that off! After that it's a boomerange right into a brake run, you barrely have time to catch your breath before you go into two corkscrews, a tunnel, and a one more corkscew until the brake run. I you don't belive me, check out this video 

African Torcher Machines

Way down south in Florida, one theme park has a theme of Africa. Busch Gardens Tampa bay is home to some roller coasters that make you cry and or wet yourself. Shikra and Gwazi are two coasters that you will just love. Gwazi, a wooden coaster that is not that old, but looks like something your grandfather rode. A 90 foot drop and then your off! Going through head choppers at light speed, twists and turns ,you're thinking "make it stop!", but your heart says more! Now For Shikra, a heart stopping ride that is 200 feet STRAIGHT DOWN! You heard me straight down, 90 degrees, twice in one ride. My sister told me all about it, she went strait down. Check out this video of Shikra. This video of Gwazi!

The Wolf

I'm back with new coaster to talk adout,Big Bad Wolf, a wild ride I can't get enough of. It has TWO drops the first is 30 feet and that gets you going. Going around turns so sharp it will make your head spin, then down a few hills at light speed. Then you hit the brakes, you think it's over, until you take a right turn. you see the lift and slowly go up foot by foot, you reach the top and zoom down the hill really fast, down the 100 foot hill you fly. you go through more turns then into the station. This one is at Busch Gardens and get some season passes for that holiday gift for 2006! video part one!  Video part 2!

Flight of Fear

Once again I'm back to write about the roller coasters we all love. This time I am talking about a roller coaster at Kings Dominion, It's called "Flight of Fear" and was it fun!! It's another launch coaster, but this one is inside of a building. You sit in the spaceship like waiting line until you get in the coaster. You wait until the man at the contrlls says "All clear". Then bam, out of the tunnel faster than you can say " I love roller coasters". Right after you get out of the staion say cheese for your wonderful picture of your first moment on this scream machine. My first time on it, I coundn't tell what was happening and i still can't tell, but it does go upside down and it's fast!! Man i love it!

It's Gonna Blow!!

I'm Back and boy do I have a story for you. It's about Volcano Blast Coaster and that gave me a rush.You will love it. You start off slowly going through a tunnel then you lanch at 60 mph. Then through a turn and into another tunnel then strait up into a half corkscrew. A few barrel rolls and a giant helix and you'll be screaming your heart out. This is one Coaster you don't want to miss. It's at Kings Dominion, home of 12 awsome coasters,  Flight of Fear is my fovorite coaster at that theme park

One Heck of a God

I'm back coaster fans,right now i'm talking about local coasters like,Apollo's Chariot. One heck of a god coaster that i love! Most of us know about the rumor of how Fabio broke his nose on Apollo's Chariot, IT'S  TRUE. Not so handsom now,are you!?!  Back to the ride, it is 210 ft tall with a 70 degree angle first drop. Once the mighty Apollo has you shoot back up a 184 foot hill. Also another hill before you hit the giant turn.
