My First Theme Park In Brazil (+ I Burned My Neck) - Part 1
Hey everyone,
I can not really remember when I posted my last Photo TR from a theme park visit? It feels like years. But finally I had the chance to visit a theme park here in brazil.
My fiance (it is still strange to say that) and I left Sao Paulo for the christmas days to relax without any bad traffic and any smog at all. We were driving to a nice city (Campinas) around 2 hours away. The good thing, there was a Wet´n Wild water park and the Hopi Hari theme park near by the hotel. We could use a free shuttle to visit both parks and I finally could ride some coasters in brasil, which was even better.
Part 1 - Hopi Hari:
After spending a long time at Disney, isn´t it very easy anymore to not compare every other theme park with a Disney park. But since I have not been to a theme park for a long time, was everything fine.
The park was kind of empty, which was great for us. The overall theming was nice and the park was clean.
We right made our way to the first and biggest attraction, a wooden coaster. There we were staying nearly 1 hour in the sun, to finally ride the coaster. They were only running 1 train, which was the reason for the long waiting time. The ride itself was not feeling very good. My lapbar was not really closing and I was holding on to it the whole time, to stay in the seat. I really thought Gwazi at Bush Gardens was the worst wooden coaster I have been to, but this one was worse.
Anyway, after that horrible ride we got 3 more coaster, a shuttle loop, a kiddie powered coaster and a indoor spinning coaster. Except the wooden coaster was everything okay. We also spend some time on the river rapids to cool down for a while.
So, in total I got some new credits and burned my neck, what a great day!

How was Katapul ?
Glad to see that it's safe and well!
And Montezum looks really cool, too bad it was crappy. Looks like a nicely themed park.
