Maybe the wait would have been more interesting with the 3D glasses?

This past weekend, I made the pilgrimage to Cedar Point. It was rather warm, which changed around the normal line lengths for the rides. Take Disaster Transport for instance. Normally, a very short wait in line for a solidly mediocre ride. In fact, one of the features listed here is that the "Queuing area is in blacklight with fluorescent paint creating a 3-D effect. 3-D glasses are available for purchase." When one of the features involves the waiting line, it's probably not too impressive, right? And the normal 10-15 minute wait verifies that. But throw in the fact that it's indoors and there's air conditioning while waiting, and all of a sudden, that balloons into a posted 1 1/4 hour wait (although actual recorded time was somewhere around 50 minutes).

I also fell victim to one of the "carnie" games, specifically one involving shooting 12 shots at various points outside a three-point line. Like all carnival games, though, it was rigged - I actually had to shoot the ball. That and I believe the rim might have been at the height used in the Indonesian Leagues, which is 297 cm, equating to 9.744065 feet. The rim may have even been at the standards of various South American tribes; the only way to get the ball through it is by using black magic (involving deflating the ball).

All in all, it was a great experience...as usual.
