Disrecommending an amusement park ride
I’m going to take the unusual step here of recommending that people don’t go on the Klondike Gold Rusher at Wild Waves Enchanted Village in Federal Way. It looks like a fairly easy coaster, but it has abrupt reversals of direction that, as they increase in speed, increase in pain level as well. I admit it is neat the way you look like you’re about to fly off the rails before turning, but I really was not having fun by the end: there was one turn that threw me hard into Ael as she sat next to me.
The Timberhawk, on the other hand, gets more fun every time I ride it. :-) It’s a wooden coaster, so you are frequently diving into a great deal of internal structure. :-) The turns are smooth, and the dives are fast.
If you’re taking kids, you might want to see if you can still find Danimals with the free Six Flags kid’s admission coupon on the bottom: that drops the price of attendance way down.
