Money well spent

August 22, 2005 By: bio Category: General

Normally, the company I work for has some sort of picnic every summer. This year, there was no such event, but they offered discount tickets to Silverwood Theme Park instead.

I purchased tickets for the whole family at $15 each (which beats the hell out of the normal admission price of $29.99). The downside to the tickets is that we were stuck with one and only one choice for the date… last saturday (August 20th).

Since that was a saturday, I figured we better get there as early as possible because it can get a little busy on the weekends. Apparently… I under estimated exactly what “busy” meant.

We showed up shortly after they opened (about 11:15) and spent the next 30 minutes waiting in line to park the car. There was still plenty of parking (the lot is friggin’ huge!) and it was a quick jaunt to the gate to get in.

That’s where things stopped being quick. It appears that Silverwood offered discount tickets to every company in the Northwest, as there had to be over 20,000 people in the park.

The lines to ride the Tremors rollercoaster was about 2 hours long. The Timber Terror rollercoaster was the same. Hell… I waited in line for 40 minutes just to buy a lemonade.

They had a car show going on as well as some model talent search (which added to the population).

There was one other thing that I wasn’t quite prepared for. Since they opened the BolderBeach water park, people were walking all over the place in their bathing suits. While there were a few attractive people there, the benefit was far outweighed by the sheer number of people who had no business showing off their veritable sea of freckles, fat, and flesh in any public venue. Big bellys… hairy backs… and that was just the women!

The thought of being stuck in a steaming herd of the unwashed masses… half nakid… yeah… that’s how I wanted to spend the day.

We made it until about 4pm. In total… I spent about 5 hours in line, rode two rides, and had a drink. Totally fucking insane!
