Welcome to Gaia! ::

UPDATE
So we also decided that we'll be going to the Nightmare fear factory at Niagara Falls. GTR is stoked as hell, me not so much because I can't handle scary s**t at all. I mean Dracula dead and loving it gave me nightmares! So, anyone been to this attraction and have any helpful hints? How about helpful hints for not shitting your pants? Apparently this place is so scary that this week alone 188 people couldn't continue through the house. I don't want to be a chicken gonk but I also told GTR that I would do it because he wants me to be there with him.

And I just can't hide it. Ba ba ba ba ba. I know, I know, I know, I know I want you.

Ok on to the actual subject. GTR AND I ARE GOING ON VACATION! Not anything big, just to Niagara Falls, but still! We're going to have 5 whole days to ourselves! We're going to be able to go out and do stuff as a couple again. We'll be able to re-energize ourselves and we'll have an AWESOME time!

We discovered that we needed this because a few nights ago we had GTR's sister watch our kids so we could go to the movies. We managed to watch Wolverine and Fast and Furious Both were super good! Then we drove to Barrie, went to a sex shop, went out to a lake, made out like good ol' times, came home and got funky with it. However by the time we got home we were both super tired, and that really sucked. So we decided that since a night without the kids wasn't enough to re-energize us, maybe a few more nights are needed. Plus it would be great for us to have more to our relationship than just our kids and sex.

On our last day we'll be going to Wonderland. I really wanted to go because GTR wants to go super bad. However after having children, my stomach is super weak now. Like so bad where GTR can pick me up spin me like 5 times and I'm down and out for a half hour trying NOT to vomit. SO I really hope that I can go on some of these rides. I also have an unreasonable fear of roller coasters, so anything helpful like tips or tricks to getting over fears and possibly sickness of spinning and being upside down would be awesome!

Feel free to talk about your own experiences at Wonderland or other amusement parks as well!

I looooove roller coasters. My favorites are the ones where you fall...like the Hollywood Tower of Terror in Disney World... 8D

Hope you two have lots of fun and also get lots of rest and relaxation in too!

Thanks guys! ^_^

I can't stand the feeling of being weightless. For whatever reason it makes me feel like every organ in my body is about to take it's leave through my mouth! eek I haven't been on a roller coaster in YEARS so I'm really hoping I'll be ok. I don't seem to be able to handle continuous motions. Going around and around and around makes me sick. I'm not sure but the last time I was upside down in a ride, the salt and pepper shaker, I felt sick as a dog. So I'm hoping that things will be different on a roller coaster.

Originally we were going to go to B.C and back but we just don't have the cash for that this month.

My face is normal on the way up and down... I can't scream on the rollercoasters I just feel silly

My aunt is the same way with roller coasters. She loves them, but after three kids her stomach and equilibrium get all messed up and she can't ride anything for 30 minutes or more. Ginger always seems to help settle her stomach. Little ginger candies or pills can be found at probably any natural/health food store.

I hate people who scream on amusement park rides almost as much as I hate people who scream for no good reason on other occasions. If you're screaming, it had better be an honest to God, call-911 emergency.

That being said, I don't like roller coasters because I always think they're going to break out from under me. I went on the roller coaster at K-Days a couple of years ago because jimsheep reeeeeally wanted me to go on with him. I hate the adrenaline rush, it makes me feel sick and panicky, and yeah. It's just not fun. I can, however, cross that off the list of things that I want to do before I die!

I spent one day in Niagara Falls, mostly just at the actual falls themselves, as our bus broke down and we had to spend an additional 3 hours beyond what was planned while we waited for someone to come fix it. We then had to postpone the concert we were performing by an hour, and still didn't have time to change before going on stage, so we threw our robes on over our street clothes. The place where we sang had the acoustics of a pillow warehouse... our voices stopped about 1 foot out of our mouths. we couldn't hear ourselves, never mind each other. We were billeted in Niagara falls, so I know absolutely nothing about the acoomodations there. All I know is it snowed on the day we left Edmonton and the snow followed us through Regina, Winnipeg, and Thunder Bay, and then wen we got to Niagara on the Lake, it was sunny and there was green grass and it was like seeing in colour for the first time in months. Then everyone got sunburnt at the Falls due to having pasty white Edmonton winter skin.

Regarding the scary stuff, maybe it would help to analyze the mechanics behind it? Does it help to know how they are producing the special effects that make things spooky?

I didn't think I was capable of screaming like I did on the rollercoasters. o_O I didn't know I had it in me. It wasn't voluntary, exactly, and everyone else was screeching.

I don't even go to these places with rollercoasters and stuff...
Teacups bore me, bumper cars have been traded with bumping gokarts etc etc...
