It’s more like Six Flags than WDW.

Lots and lots of coasters. Three B&M’s; one of which is the brand new Yukon Striker - the world’s tallest, longest, and fastest dive coaster.

He sprung for the Fast Lane Plus - less than $100 for unlimited fastpasses to every park attraction.

I used to love the place. The kids and I had season passes for years. Now it just gives me a headache.

Yukon Striker just opened, so I can’t comment, but I really only like 4 or 5 rides - the two other B&M coasters (Leviathan and Behemoth), the drop ride, bumper cars (I love bumper cars!!!!!) and one of the wooden coasters.

I officially announced that I was over it about four years ago.

I know what you mean. I am not a rollercoaster person.

I know what you mean. I am not a rollercoaster person.

I am, but more the B&M type. High heights. Steep drops. 3-4 minute long ride time. Mega G-force. No upside down. Lap bar only.

Front row. Hands all the way up. None of this up/down, up/down nonsense!

I want the wind whistling in my ears, the bugs in my teeth, and the complete unmistakeable feeling that I am going to get sucked right out of the limited restraint.

Behemoth is my favourite. It is a beautiful thing to behold.



Leviathan is taller and steeper, but for some reason, not as fun.

The roads in Indonesia can be very chaotic to the eyes of a "Westener". There are often numerous motorcycles clustered at a red light. When the light turns green they zig and zag for position. The following photo I took from the front passenger seat an hour prior to this post...

I was seated on the left front because their cars have the steering wheel on the right side.

Here are scenes from my Tuesday...

Tonight I had Fish and Chips while everyone else had authentic Indonesian food. Oh well. It's my vacation too

Obviously a freak accident but definitely warrants using care with metal straws:

We have these same straws. I will make sure Ski doesn’t walk around drinking from them.

Freak accidents are exactly that though. She was still always more likely to have been killed in her car on the way to the store to buy those straws. (My dad’s standard line for any of these situations. )

They said at the end of the article that the straws should never be held in place by a lid with a hole in it. If the straw could have moved it probably would have. I was always more worried about someone drinking and tripping and it getting embedded in the roof of their mouth. I tend to trip a lot.

Never even knew there were metal straws.

I’m assuming this is some show I don’t watch, but sign me up for Season 12, please.

They also come in silicone. I don’t have any of those.

Got home late last night (well, actually 1:30 this morning), so we went out to check the eagle nest this afternoon. The eaglets haven't fledged yet, but very soon. One was branching (sitting out on a branch) and both were wingersizing (flapping their wings). Such a beautiful sight to see. I'm not sure that any of the golfers there even notice them.

Mom was on the nest when we got there, but gradually side-stepped out on the limb (one eaglet was on the limb above her and one in the nest.)



Then the babies took turns flapping.

They'll be gone soon - off to bigger adventures, but it's been awesome to see them here so close to home.

Ski? You seem to be the one that is most accident prone. I missed it I guess, but, how did his finger end up?

Yea, I'm thinking that they must be tough to clean thoroughly. Germs would be extensive.
