Do you wanna go faster?!

Anyone whose ridden the Himalya at some point in their lives knows that question. Ratt's Round and Round blaring in the background while the ride operator yells the question that can be answered merely by screaming.

Lots of things have changed on the boardwalk over the years. We have the internet to remind us of the past.. But a lot of that same feeling remains, even all of those years later. Maybe it's the fact that they still blast 80s music on the pier. But it has been fun to see my kids riding a lot of the same rides (and new ones) that I rode at their age. My oldest finally reached that magical height that allows her to ride anything on the boards.



The Sea Serpent (Tidal Wave for all you Ocean City folk), the NorEaster, the Himalya....

Even the little one got her first taste of coasters with the Flitzer (haven't scanned the picture in yet). Now if I could only get them to get on the dark rides, like Dante's Dungeon.

All in all it was a pretty good vacation. My main complaint is always the same. It wasn't long enough. Of course I still took the rest of the week off and we didn't want to go home just yet. So that took us on our second adventure. My wife's family in Bethany Beach were awaiting us next.
