Monsoon Falls – Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
This is one of those rides that you’ll only ever get me on if there’s a ride photo opportunity. Yet parks seem reluctant to provide photos on water chutes for some reason (Jurassic Park at Universal Studios is the only one I’m aware of). Zaira, however, loves them, despite the fearful look she has in this photo (front row, second from left). She came off the ride completely soaked – she might as well have gone down a water slide fully dressed.
If the above paragraph seems a bit self-contradictory or incongruous with my absence from the photo it’s because I took this ride photo myself from the bridge under which the boat passes. I took the two photos below as well but have decided to include them in the ‘strangers’ portion of our collection as they are both wonderful pictures in my opinion. The first because of the people in the back rows who are trying to duck down to remain dry (bad idea) and the second because not only does everyone seem exceedingly excited, but you just gotta love it when people’s hair flies out behind them on a ride.
