Busch Gardens
First things first...I got to meet Jack Hannah & he is my hero. Fuck yes.
A really cute ride in Ireland...
Josh somehow got me to ride both the Big Bad Wolf and the Ski Lift thing that took you up over the park in a bucket suspended from a cable. Not safe, I swear.
A view of one....
....& the view from the second.
Aww - Josh is my knight in shining armor.
Here's the gorgeous Escape From Pompeii ride (and inside was a haunted house thing, and I went thru it because I am bad-fucking-ass.)
There was a show called "Monster Stomp" that was basically just people playing the drums and other things - like shovels - as percussive instruments. It was fun times.
The park was just filled with Halloween decorations.
There were also people dressed up to the theme of each country. Italy was an evil clown carnival. He was nice though...
...the scarecrow guy was nice too.
The last one needs a bit of introduction...we went to the show "Fiends in the Festhaus" on a packed showing (dinner time - which seats about 2000 people) and there was a little crowd participation part. The Dracula guy comes up to me and asks me to dance with him in the aisle, with a bunch of other people. So then he 'introduces me to the Wolf Man' and he fucking takes me up on stage, which I really did not want to do. Then he and Dracula proceeded to sing to me to 'win my hand.' It...was...terrifying. (I have a SMIDGE of a problem with stage-fright, by the way.) At least they sang good songs. The Wolf Man sang "Hungry Like the Wolf" and Dracula sang "Shot Thru the Heart"...Bon Jovi for fuck's sake! There is no better way to win my heart than to sing me 80s rock. Sorry the picture's so dark...Josh took like 15, but stage lights is a bitch.
Amazing trip all in all, and we stayed in the cutest little cottage-esque hotel for $30 a night! *sigh* I love vacation.
