Synchronized Riding

A couple of us had the day off the other day. We decided that we would go play at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Right off, we got fast passes to Areosmith's Rockin' Roller coaster. Then we hopped in line while the wait was short. After that, we went over to the Tower of Terror. For the picture, we posed like we were all talking on our phones or texting. When we got out, we saw that the line was only 10 minutes. So we hopped back on and thought of another pose. After one more ride after that, we decided that we would try to see how many times we could ride it. Each time we thought of poses... thinking seriously, YMCA, Seductive, Creepily Crouching over the children in front of us, Glaring at the person next to us,... stuff like that.

The lines started getting long. We saw that the Bellboys in the front of the line were actually CPs (College Program kids), so my roommate Kendall went over to the more attractive of the two and started talking with him... very closely... and softly ;)... needless to say, we got four fast passes for that ride. We went on it a couple more times, then went and got dinner over at the 50's Prime Time Cafe (a MUST-do if you go to Hollywood Studios).

We used our fast passes for Rockin' and then went back to Tower of Terror. But the line was getting long again! Luckily, the two guys were different, but this time I went up to them. I asked how long the line was, and were they CPs? Why, me too! What a coincidence! Us? Why we're just trying to see how many times we can ride the Tower of Terror in one day... *sigh*, but it looks like the lines are getting long... What? Fast Passes? No I couldn't... Why thank you! You're so sweet! ;) BINGO!

On our last ride of the day we all held up our hands showing how many times we had ridden... two hands... ten fingers! By the end of the day, our stomachs were in our shoes but our egos were high and we had conquered the Tower of Terror, memorized the spiel in the beginning, calmed three different nervous children, flirted for 8 fast passes, invented a new sport called "Synchronized riding" and ridden the Tower of Terror 10 times...
