Sea World Trip!

Yesterday, on May 1st, we went to Sea World, Orlando! I woke up at 4 AM, got ready, and arrived at school at around 4:50. At 5:15, we left for the buses. My group and our chaprones are on the #4 white Astro bus. It took about 4 hours to get to Sea World. It was around 10:00 when we got to the parking lot in Sea World, Orlando. We checked in at the turnstiles, and went inside to EXPLORE...

Everyone except for one chaprone and I went on the KRAKEN, the rollercoaster. We had waited ONE HOUR in line for this 2 minute and 2 second long ride.

We (meaning everyone, including me!!) then went on the Journey to Atlantis ride sometime later. It was scary, and wet, but fun. We boarded the boat on the ride after 45 minutes of waiting. At first, the ride was smooth, and mermaids showed us the way to Atlantis. But, then, the mermaids let out an evil laugh, red eyes peeked from the sides in the dark, the color was draining from the tunnel. The boat was moving toward a VERY STEEP hill, emarald eyes flashed, and then, we DROPPED down and made a huge splash at the bottom. Then, the boat moved toward the back, and went up another steep hill. I thought it was over. WRONG! The boat climbed up the steep hill, then made ANOTHER DROP down!! NOW, it's over. I felt like I was going to fly right out of the boat during the drops. Everyone was pressed down against the backseat during those very fast and steep drops. After the ride, we were soaking wet because of the splashing water at the bottom, and because the people in the sidelines squirted us! If you insert in quarters into the geyser machine, and press the red button, you get to geyser the people who just finished their drop down.

We also went to "Shark Encounter". We walked through a glass dome that was about this thick:------------. The sharks were swimming beside and overhead of the glass tunnel. It was amazing; live sharks swimming around and over us. We also went to Penguin Encounter. I saw LIVE PENGUINS!! I loved it! It was snowing inside the glass! They were waddling and swimming all around the mimic habitat.

We went to Stingray Lagoon. The stingrays there are about the size of huge dinner plates. They also let you feed them too! I didn't feed the rays because they were selling the stingray food, and I have to save my money for MY food.


The trip was exciting and fun!! I loved yesterday, walking around Sea World for 8 hours (except for that part). It was tiring, but when we got back to the bus at 6, we relaxed and watched movies until we got back to school at 10:30 PM, our parents waiting at the school to pick us up. That trip was so much FUN!
