Every year, I go to the Wisconsin Dells with my friend Eden and her family. We always go to the Wilderness Resort, and our favorite ride is the Hurricane. It starts out pitch black, then it gradually gets lighter, and before you realize what's going on, there is a huge drop! It's so steep that the inner tube is flying in the air! Sorry I'm using so many exclamation points, I'm just really excited to be telling you about this! Anyway, it's a four person inner tube, but it is a two-four person water slide (depending on the weight of the person). After the drop, you are in a gargantuan (vocab word!) cone shaped So, we were in line for the hurricane on January 1, 2016 with our dads. We were there at night, so the Hurricane was dark inside, because the light was natural. Our dads were talking about how we scream way too much on the Hurricane. Eden's dad said that he would buy us a pound of candy from the store we had been begging them to take us to if we were completely silent the whole time. My dad said, "Oh, there's no way they can do that." Eden's dad said, "You're right. Let's make it ten pounds!" My dad said,"No, let's keep it at one." It is an approximately thirty minute line each time, so we had plenty of time to work out the small details. From the second the lifeguard touched our inner tube to push us down, to the second the lifeguard at the bottom grabbed out tube, we couldn't make a single peep. Eden and I were both really nervous that we would ruin it for each other.
It was eventually our turn, and we got in the inner tube. We didn't make a single noise the entire time, but my dad was screaming his head off! :) Our dads were surprised that we actually did it, and our sisters were mad when we came back to the hotel room with a half a pound of candy each!
