Theme park madness!!!

(Back in 2014 apparently)

Theme park in question is none other than Times Square's indoor theme park! Where rides threaten to turn your innards inside-out and upside-down! And all these while, I thought it is only powerful enough for secondary school kids. Imagine a bunch of 20/21 years old being pawned by the rides! Of course, we also played some gentler ones to calm ourselves down, once in a while. :P

First ride up, the Ooort's Express which goes in a circular motion, and with some physics logic involved, will always push passengers to go outwards. So yeah, the heavier ones, please sit outside, so at least you get to cushion others(?). XD This ride is quite a nice one to just go round and round and round. It is quite a good warm-up to the other rides since it is not really scary, just a little fast. But the circular motions really won't do much harm. Or any, at all.

The next one is actually a silent killer. To quote one of us, he said, 'wah, looks like a romantic ride' when we were still on ground, but when we go up the ride, he sounded like he was freaking shitting in his pants and totally terrified. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Spinning Orbit, which brings you all the way to the peak of the theme park and rotates in a fairly fast motion, but not breakneck speed, of course. But still fast enough to feel the breeze and cool air. WARNING : If you are scared of heights (google the scientific name or the actual word yourself >.<), you might want to skip on this. Unless you want to focus on the ceiling view or eye-level scenes.

I pretty much can't recall anymore of the riders but what I will say is this, every second, every minute, every hour spent in the theme park, which a group of friends, that remain close-knitted even after going on their separate path after 5 years or so, remains to be one of the best memory in my life. I may have forgotten what happened but the sheer memory of it is enough to fill me with joy, warmth and maybe, melancholy.
