What can I say? Awesome weather, awesome day, and half deaf from screaming students! We were very lucky to be accompanied by Mika Takamura, who came to NZ for the exchange in March. On more than a couple of occasions, she pulled some strings with some engineers (including the chief engineer) to get us a look at how the coasters work, how they are maintained, and most importantly, turned a 2 hour wait time into a 5 minute wait to get on the ride. Many of the kids overcame their fears and tried some of the coasters that are world record holders. Some of the quotes of the day included, 'I think I might have wet myself,' and, 'I wish I hadn't had the chicken curry for lunch!'
There was a great photo taken on Fujiyama, once the highest coaster in the world at 79metres, of Harry, Robbie, Jack and Tallulah... the expressions are priceless. So much so a few of them bought the photo. When we get back to NZ, hopefully we can scan it and share it.
Rest assured, everyone will sleep well tonight!
Hi how exciting! Harry said he had the best day ever and he absolutely loved it!! We look forward to seeing the photos! Hope tomorrow is just as fun.
ReplyDeleteOlivia had a great time and has made her Dad very jealous by going on the fastest and tallest rollercoasters in the world.
ReplyDeleteHi Indi,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a fantastic time. A tip for the heat, get a thin hand towel (100yen shop has them) wear it round your neck and tuck it into the neck line of your top. It soaks up the sweat and you can wipe your face when really hot. I lived with one on permanently!!! You can get cool ones my one had Stitch on it. Missing you Aunty Mel.
