So after the Herschell Museum we loaded up to look at some water.

Welcome to the TPR snack exchange with foods from Italy, Australia, Canada, and the USA!

Why do we always scream when going through a tunnel? Is there some sort of manual?

You have to scream if you don't have an auto horn. I think it's a federal law.

Great pics of the carousel museum! Loving your pics Chad!

Great pictures Chad! I'm loving that picture of Chris giving me that nasty Vegemite. I swear even a little bit made me almost throw up! Looking forward to the rest of your pictures

Day 2 brought us very early in the morning to Conneaut Lake Amusement Park for exclusive ride time....in the entire park! Yes, that's right. Originally Robb had only requested a hand full of rides including the Pepsi Blue Streak but upon arrival we were treated to just about every ride in the park. It was quite awesome having our own personal ride operators who followed our group from ride to ride.

Then there was Blue Streak. Awaken from the dead a few years ago, this ride has it's own personality. Riding in the rear is comparable to riding the Coney Island Cyclone in the rear, you're going to take a beating, at least on the first two drops. But after some filming, the skies opened up beginning with a light rain and ending in an all out downpour. Allowing us to ride even with thunder booming around us we had the time of our lives. As the rains intensified the ride got faster and faster. Two poor souls were relegated to the back for multiple rides as a few unnamed people in the front kept chanting to keep the ride running. And running it did, right through the station and back to the lift.

But all the fun and games would come to end when lightening was spotted. The train was hauling the mail and combined with wet skids wouldn't stop in the station. As a result, we had an evac on the lift hill with two cars in the rain and two cars in the tunnel. Fortunately for me, I had swapped seats with those in the rear and remained out of the downpour until time to evac and trek across the mud to the platform. Epic fun. Epic fun indeed.

No pictures of the rain soaked ride so story telling will have to suffice from me. And yes...its a True Story!

Thanks for posting these pics Chad. I wish I took some time to explore some more.

BTW, Conneaut Lake is going to be the back drop of my horror film (which I will get to writing this weekend).

The adult Tumblebug was one of many highlights of the trip for me. The back car was insane, while we were being thrown around in the back like rag dolls, people in the front were just relaxing and having good conversions. Also a side note is that the motor on the back looked quite dangerous. It was a good ride!
