The latest news .... Theresa went on her first roller
coaster ride! We took a little adventure to the
Silverwood
Theme Park and talked Theresa into taking a
ride on the
Silverwood Tremors, the Northwest's wildest
coaster. As quoted from the Silverwood website:
Three big-time roller coasters, including
two world-renowned wooden coasters, are sure
to satisfy. Tremors, the 60-mile per hour slingshot
that drops you 103 screamin’ feet into
a pitch black tunnel of terror. Speaking of
terror,
Timber Terror is Tremors’ slightly
smaller but equally twisted cousin, and the
aptly named
Corkscrew will turn your world upside down –
not once, but twice.
Although she didn't quite make the minimum height
requirement, she climbed aboard next to her encouraging
Aunt Kristina. And the rest is history. Mommy and
Daddy, in the seats directly behind them, were soon
to learn and regret what they had gotten their daughter
into. But, as you can see from the picture, Theresa
not only survived the experience, but enjoyed it!
She had such a good time, that as soon as the ride
was done, she was ready for another.
So we went next door to the Timber Terror. Again
she slipped in under the wire and hung on tightly
to Aunt Kristina. After that ride, though, she was
done with the roller coasters for a while and went
on to try the log ride, the Thunder Canyon whitewater
ride, the airplane and helicopter rides, and the
twirl-a-cup.
I have two images to view. The
first is zoomed
in on Theresa and Kristina, and the
second is the
wide shot where you can also see the parents cringing
in the back.
I'll have the rest of our July photos up in a few
days. Until then enjoy the Tremors!
