“Good,” Buffy nodded. “Now, lets go collect barf-boy from the bathrooms.” And with a flip of her hair, she began heading towards the bathrooms.

I can soo picture Buffy flipping her hair. So funny.



Awww.. poor Will and Xander. But, poor Tara. And I bet she gets Buffy back for taking that picture.



OH... can someone answer a question for me? What are the tea cups? I'm trying to picture them in my head, but I'm having trouble. I think I know what they are, do they kinda spin in a circle and kinda look like a circle cut in half and a bar comes down in front of you to hold you in?? If so... I LOVE that ride. It's sooo fun.



Thanks for the update, Piper. Looking forward to the next part.



Jen



Oooooh.... you know what would be a fun ride for them to go on? I can't remember the name of it, but you get in it and lean against the wall and it spins so fast that you can practically climb the wall. Do you know which one I'm talking about? I think that would be fun for the gang. I always end up soo dizy when the ride is done though.

Grimaldi: Thanks! Glad you caught up!



Loco2: Anything? *raises eyebrows skeptically* As for the curry powder…you really, really should…



star: *bows* Why thank you very, very much! *nods in agreement* Teacups are pure evil and must be stopped at all costs! Next update should be tomorrow. And your not the only hyper one! hehehe *snort*



LeatherQueen: Yes! Exactly!!! Took the words right outta my mouth!



Jennpurr: Oh yes! Payback in my fic is a must! As for the teacup question…I haven’t been on it in a while so I can’t really explain it.



Oh! I love that idea!!!!!! I’m totally gonna use that but I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called! I went on that at some traveling carnival and had to go home cause it made me so sick!!! I couldn’t even go on the ferris wheel after that! I’ll try to be nice to the Scoobies though and not make them too dizzy. *evil grin* *rubs hands together, pondering*

[Jennpurr]

Hee.... a big YES!!! to the payback. Can't wait to see what you do.



It's okay about the ride thing. I think I'm thinking about the right one. I haven't been on it in a while, I just remember I love that one.



Ooooh... I think that ride is called something with spaceship in it? Is that right? I soo can't remember. But, cool that you are going to send them on it. It doesn't make me sick, just dizzy as hell afterwards. I don't see how some people can walk out of it, without feeling any kind of affects.



Looking forward to more.

[foreverpiper]

Yeah, i remember something about a spaceship. Being dizzy makes me sick! I can't stand it...i don't know why. lol *shrug* This ride name is totally bugging me! grrr....well, I'm off to watch Friends...



-------



Someone just e-mailed me the name! It's the Gravitron! Thanks a bunch to Laurel!

[pikescoob]

I think you mean the "Gravitron"....it looks like a spaceship and when you get inside it spins around until you're like pinned up against the wall and you really shouldn't try and move your head cuz your neck might snap. Soooo dizzy after that....I avoid rides like that. Poor Tara having to sit with two sickly tea cup riders...I wouldn't wanna have her spot with all that potential to get thrown up on. Hehe...that camera is getting some great shots

edited to say: oops I guess I was a bit late with the name to that ride....oh well

Edited by: pikescoob at: 7/26/02 9:08:38 am

[foreverpiper]

hehe, thanks anyway! And I try to avoid those rides now too. If i get dizzy...well...then the day is done for me.

[Loco2]

um, you mean the big drum that sticks you to the wall and you get a little worried when everyone but you is coming down and you're still stuck up there? it must be called different things in every amusement park...though i've forgotten what it is called in the one i visit quite a bit....



eh, i'm often doing stupid things that are totally not worth it, but end up doing 'em again and again anyways.........so i'm often making myself dizzy.

[foreverpiper]

uuuh...all i remember is it was a huge circular thing that you went into. Then you stood up and wrapped this seatbelt thing around you...um...i think. i'm not sure cause i went on it about 2 or 3 years ago so the details are kinda fuzzy. *shrug* And then it spun around real fast and when you looked across from you it seemed as if you were lying down and the people were right on top of you. Is this making any sence? cause i'm not thinking to clearly right now. hehe, too much caffine.



i used to do stupid things...still do in fact...many, many stupid things, but i won't ever go on that blasted ride again! *shudder* Ever!



But once! The last time at Busch Gardens, i took one of those fake armor things that are for 7 year old boys and i put it on. It was my friend's dad's girlfriend's son's (whoa), and i shoved it all on, breastplate, helmat, shield, and sword, and i went around Busch Gardens shouting "WELCOME TO BUSCH GARDENS! HAVE A NICE DAY!!!" and i threw in the occasional "HOW ARE YOU?" and to top it off i ended it with a spectacular show of swordfighting with my friend's dad's girlfriend's son! I have no idea why I wrote this...exept i'm in a huge hyper mode!!!! Okay, i'll stop now...

[The Next Tara Maclay]

Hahaha!!! Anyway continue soon.

[foreverpiper]

Glad to know I can be seen as a comedian.

[Latsric]

I was checking to see if there had been an update and while I was reading all the posts I had an idea of a ride that you could send W/T on. Not sure if most parks have one, but at the local park here its called the Tornado. Basically you get in these little cars that are on a track that goes through this big building...kinda like a haunted house, but you don't have to walk. And why should the gang go on this ride you ask? It's dark, only two people fit in each car, and the ride goes real slow.....hence, SMOOTCHIE TIME



I have first hand experience of this as the first real date my partner and I went on was to an amusement park and we actually had our first kiss on this ride...so, i'm a little biased about the excitement factor. But i'm sure willow and tara will love it.



-lat-

- I need my obsessions, they keep me sane -

[foreverpiper]

hmmmmm *ponders exitedly* Well, well, well...interesting. 2 seats...dark place...slow ride...very, very interesting. I'll just have to try and sqeeze that in somewhere. Thanks for the idea.



But what exactly happens in the ride? Anything pop out? Casue to tell you the truth...i've never really been inside a haunted house *ducks tomatos* Yes, i know, i know, i'm pathetic...



But any details of the ride would be muchly apriciated.

[Jennpurr]

2 seats, dark place, and a slow ride sounds VERY interesting to me, as well.



Oooh, you could also have Willow and Tara ride in one of those cars that goes over the park so can look down on it. Do you know which one I'm talking about?? The one that rides on the cable?? I think that would be a good cuddle, smoochie place.

------------------------Willow: strong like an amazon?
Tara: Strong like an amazon, right.

[foreverpiper]

Yeah, I know which one your talking about! Is that actually a ride? I always thought of it as a means of transportation. *shrug* Oh well, same thing. I forget what it's called though! Of course they're gonna have to go on that! How else are they going to get to the Battering Ram silly?



Oh, and your avatar...loving it!

[Jennpurr]

I can't remember the name of it, either. Well, it is a ride here at Astroworld. At least, I think it is. Hmmm...



Battering Ram?? Hee... I'm so excited about this fic. I just love it, so. Update, soon??

[The Next Tara Maclay]

..Are you gonna continue soon because I am not good with having patience.

[foreverpiper]

Jen: Oh yes, the Battering Ram is a must! And we'll see about the update...i hope tis soon.



The Next Tara Maclay: I've sent the next part to my beta and as soon as i get it back i'll post it. Probably sometime tomorow. I'm also in the middle of the part after that. (I'm not so good w/ patience either...or so says my mom)

[WillowTarafan98]

I must say this story rocks! and the tea cup thing, well that reminds me of a time I went with my cousins to our little fair, my older one well he ate way to many corndogs though, and well just think what happen to Xander My fav. ride though has ALWAYS been the bumber cars, so I guess I"m with Anya



~Stephie~

If you woke up breathing, congratulations, you have another chance!

[Jennpurr]

Wait, the Battering Ram, which one is that?? I feel so stupid asking that question. I'll probably hit myself over the head once you tell me.



Oooh, possible update tom?? I'll be here.



Thanks, Piper,

Jen

------------------------Willow: strong like an amazon?
Tara: Strong like an amazon, right.

[foreverpiper]

Stephie: thanks! oh, your poor older cousin! Personally I favor the coasters...but the bumper cars are definatly on my top 10 list!



Jen: The Battering Ram is shaped like a boat and it rocks back and forth. It goes really high and makes it seem like your gonna flip over but it never does. I can't explain it very well but go here and there's a pic:

[Jennpurr]

Oh, okay. Cool. It's kinda like the Looping Starship, I think it's called, here. Except, this ride actually DOES go upside down and at one point, it holds you there for a sec. I have never ridden it though. Not for me.



Thanks for explaining that, Piper.



Take care,



Jen

------------------------Willow: strong like an amazon?
Tara: Strong like an amazon, right.

[foreverpiper]

I dunno what the Looping Starship is but I'm guessing it's pretty much the same...minus the going upside down part. I'd probably go on it! I'll go on pretty much anything...except the evil teacups of course...or the Gravitron... but other than that, i'm good to go!

[Jennpurr]

Lookey Looping Starship



Oh, and that ride that rides on the cord, it's called the astroway, Here



One more. Now I can't remember what you called it, but it was that ride that W/T got soaked on? Lookey at the Bamboo Shoot



If you want to check out everything, you can go here: Astroworld-Waterworld



Jen

------------------------Willow: strong like an amazon?
Tara: Strong like an amazon, right.

[foreverpiper]

Woah! That's is so awsome!!! Geeze, Busch Gardens is looking like a kiddie place compared to Astroworld-Waterworld! That looping starship looks way cooler than the Battering Ram! *pout* You get all the good rides...



Okay, good! Now I know what the ride thing's called. Thanks!



The ride wuz the Log Flume. The Bamboo Shoot looks pretty similar. Of course...Willow and Tara aren't finished getting soaked for the day! They still have Roman Rapids! *evil cackle*

[The Next Tara Maclay]

[Loco2]

hee hee, the armour thing sounds like something i would do....



and you got seatbelts? i never got a seatbelt....but then, i mainly go to wicksteed park, cos it's pretty close bye...and, you know, not so great. and we find it kinda dull, now, anyway. but there were some really good ones at the willow festival! they were HUGE!!! one of those wheels where the carriages spin around, and one which was like one carriage connected to gungee rubber so you dropped then went flying into the air, they were seriously HUGE! like, taller than three big houses put together. .....except i couldn't ride.....you weren't alllowed to when you were 'under the influence' grrr. : -->



heh heh, i'm done with the rambling....so....update?

Steph: Wow...they sound...well...HUGE. And it may be because i haven't been able to sleep all night and it's 6:30 in the morning...or because I'm just a stupid niiave kid...but i have totally forgotten what 'under the influence' means! (I'm gonna feel so stupid once i remember this...)
