You sit around a table in the dark with headphones on and they play sounds that make you think things are happening all around you. Kind of like a haunted house but with the mind. They also had one at Joypolis which some of us did and they said it really freaked them out. |

Oh I see. That sounds pretty creepy. Why don't they have any of that kind of stuff here in America? |

^Yeah, the Drew Carey in the dark experience is by far the most frightening one of those "sit in the dark with headphones" experiences!!!!
Luckily, they've made it seasonal now! Less people to scare to death! |

Since we were doing some credit whoring today, we made a brief stop at Sea Paradise for two reasons: Blue Fall and Helix: The Ride, aka "Surf Coaster!" Both rides are awesome and well worth the train ride out to Sea Paradise...
Onto some photos....
Hey everyone! You all excited about Blue Fall?
KidTums is already knows how to ride the train!
Fuk-U-Ura...this is not our stop!
Yay! Our stop is dolphin-safe!
Here we have "Helix: The Ride."
Surf Coaster has to be one of the best Togo coasters in the world!
It has airtime, it doesn't hurt, but most importantly it has *two* helices!
Yup, that's a Surf Coaster photo!
There is giant helix #1.
(We see you Blue Fall!)
There is Giant Helix #2!
Yup.
A moment of silence for the "Boat Jumpers" please...
This is where they would do their thing...
Ahh, now to what we came here for...BLUE FALL!!!
Yes, that would be a 330 foot tall Intamin drop tower! Watch out for the "fake drop!"
Natural reaction to Robb naked.
Mmm....so pretty!
They all look so happy! They have NO IDEA what they are getting themselves into!
Bye guys! Good luck!
"Honey...I love you almost as much as Blue Fall."
Group photo in the Ice House!
"Whatever you're going to do to me...please make it QUICK!!!"
Um...are you seeing the same thing *I* am seeing?!??!
Choose wisely!
Awww....you have chosen poorly! All your skin will now fall off.
Wow, the Japanese have a strange way of getting their bowling balls!
Oh wait...
Anyone remember this ride from Magic Mountain?

Me being canadian born...I remembered the shock when I first saw an asian style toilet for my first time in Hong Kong! As I started going to trips to asia more, I got used to them.
By the way, on that Intamin drop tower I was so shocked to see...NO BELTS! Especially after the Great America accident... _________________ Best: | 1. Medusa (SFDK) | 2. Coaster (Playland) | 3. Behemoth (CW) | 4. Giant Dipper (SCBB) | 5. Titan (SFOT)

| If I had to use that toilet I'd either fall backwards or poo in my shorts. |
