“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
Pet’s Ahoy was a travesty; an orgy of animal cruelty. If someone made the world’s very best rollercoaster but themed it around genocide or 9/11, would it be ok to enjoy it? How acceptable is it then to visit a park the major attractions of which are performing animals?
Seaworld is so dead, and we’re both in ‘cynic mode’. These are the ingredients for a great day! Right now we’re sitting in a theatre awaiting the start of pets ahoy, which the guide describes as: “Dogs, cats, birds and even a pig perform stunts of high action!” This should truly be awesome!! I hope one of the cats is dressed as Ultraman! (the photo is of some candy I bought at Japan Epcot)
The othe thrill ride is Kraken, a psuedo-suspended (your feet hang, but you sit) coaster with an impressive 7 inversions. It was actually a decent ride, if a bit bone-rattling. The drops are bigger than they look because several of them go underground a dozen feet or so. KLS didn’t ride this, which was probably wise because she would have been terrified. Was I scared? Not at all. After Tokyo’s Thunder Dolphin no lesser coaster will ever scare me!
