Movie Park, Germany

Today, we went to Movie Park, Germany. It was a blast! We had SO much fun! Some friends of ours met us there, and we rode just about everything in the park. Movie Park is Germany's version of Universal Studios. This roller coaster wasn't the biggest, but it sure was fun. We all rode it. It's Jimmy Neutron's Atomic Flyer. Two thumbs up!Jess was one happy camper today. She wanted to ride everything. We haven't been to an amusement park since Bobbejaanland last year, so it was about time for one!It was crazy to see all of the Nickelodeon characters in the park. This was Dora the Explorer's Big River Adventure. They had SpongeBob, Patrick, Shrek, and all kinds of friendly characters from home. In my opinion, this was the scariest ride in the whole park. So, of course, the boys just had to go on it. A clamp picks you up and hauls you to the top of the structure. When you reach the top, the seats tilt outward, so you are staring straight down. Way, way, way down. Then it just lets you go, and you drop. Terrifying. The guys talked us girls into doing it. That was my first, and last, time on this ride. I'm just saying. This one was more my style. It's the MP Xpress Roller Coaster. It was tons of fun to ride. I'll take this over the other one any day!I didn't ride this, but the others did. It's called Crazy Surfer, but we called it The Wave. You sit on a little seat, facing out from the circle, then it spins you while it goes over a wave shaped roller coaster track. Crazy, but the others loved it. The park was a lot of fun. We all had a blast. Each section of the park had a theme, and they were all American themes, so it was a little like going back to the states for the day. We ate lunch here, in the Hollywood street section. Can you believe that they had a Subway restaurant there? Delish!

All too soon, it was time to head home again. Thanks, Germany. We had a super visit! We'll be back to see you soon.
