Lovin' the updates!! |
Considering it is only roughly $3.50 for a McDonalds meal here...I bet you could find a pretty good deal on another hooker too.

Today we visted two, yes TWO China amusement parks!
First up was Beijing Amusement Park and then Sun Park. I'll be honest...we rode a LOT of crap today! But it was fun crap! And there were certainly some stories I'll never forgot...like that time where I rode the Togo Loop Screw and the restraint didn't lock and the only thing holding me in was the seatbelt wrapped around the restraint...Yeah! That happened today!
Ok, onto the photos....

| Yes, the name of the coaster is "Super Speed Cool Cool bear." It was closed when we got to it because they needed to change a wheel on the train. "Come back in 10 to 15 minutes." Ooooookay! |

Grandfather Campbell used to claim that he once saw an old Chinese man with a cleaver chasing a cat in the alley behind the Paradise Cafe in my hometown of Patterson, Calif. I have no independent confirmation of this incident, but it would certainly explain why the food at the Paradise was so bad.
Hmm--food with a mystery crunch, coaster restraints that barely hold you in, and Chinese knockoffs of European flats. Sounds like an awesome time so far.

Another great update!
The caption "No outside food", had me laughing my A$$ off.
Be careful of those non-locking restraints over there. That's scary business!
This has nothing to do with the China trip, but I remember a few years ago while riding Thunderhawk at Geauga Lake, my roommates restraint came unlocked at the top of the lift. Thank god for those good 'ole seatbelts!

Great pics! I think those restraints are more thrilling than the coaster itself... lol
I'd like to try out those hamster balls!

who knew a TOGO would have restraint problems, that's why they are screaming metal death traps........ *yeah bad sarcasm I know* I can't beleive that though, most TOGOs aren't that bad.
that one white cat looked like my cat, come to think of it, I haven't seen my cat lately, wonder if she has any sort of extra crunches..... 
I can't believe all of those knock offs, and the spinning mouse with tape on the side, and to coaster grave-yard. not cool China, not cool!
and the hampster ball thing is AMAZING!

Well, I miss Asia, and would love to hit China, but I gotta admit, I don't know how many of those coasters I would even get on. In the one pic, it looks like some folks have lap seat-belts, some over teh shoulder seat-belts, and some lap bars?!?
Knowing the quality of the probably Chinese Gucci wallet I bought my wife in Korea, I sure wouldn't put my life in the hands of these Chinese coasters.
And, what the hell sorta neck diseases do they expect folks to have? What was Thunderclap Tank?
