We went to Greenland today! No, not the country. It is a theme park. It is little over an hour drive outside the city, but there was little traffic and we got there without any problems.
Even though it was a Sunday, there were no crowds and that meant no wait times anywhere. It was a big change from when we went to Legoland. But I was quite reserved and there were not that many attractions that I wanted to ride. I was not sure if I would like them.
The first ride I tried was Water Shot and it was really fun. It was like a fire truck and Daddy and I shot water at different targets.
Next we tried Lady Bird. It looked cute and calm, but was actually a bit more exciting (or scary) than we expected. The turns were quite fast.
I was really excited about Drift Racing attraction. I drove a car really fast around track. What was nice was that there weren’t any other people there so I had the track all to myself. That meant I didn’t crash into anyone and I came in first! Yay me!
I had so much fun I just had to ride it again. So I went for a second race, this time in a fire truck. (I rode a police car the first race.)
After racing we kept walking and found a much more tame version of the Lady Bird ride. I was not scared of this one at all, but I did almost crash a few times.
After all that riding and driving I was famished. So we stopped to get a snack (and more ride tickets). I shared a delicious muscat ice cream with Mommy! It was so yummy on such a hot day.
We then headed to the go kart racing area, which was kind of the main reason why we came here. It was like the Legoland Junior driving but I wouldn’t have to ride alone. But when we got there I changed my mind and decided not to ride it. It was a bit loud because of the go kart engines and it smelled like gasoline. It was too much of an overload for my senses so we skipped the go karts. I found a nice little Shinkansen to ride instead.
After a lot more walking and passing on other rides, we found a train to ride. But it wasn’t a normal train, it was a monster hunting train. We had to shoot all these bad monsters that were terrorizing the Western frontier and steeling all the farm animals. We did some good shooting and saved a lot of animals from bad monsters.
We all were getting hungry so after passing on a lot of other attractions we decided to grab a bite to eat.
It was past midday and the sky was clearing up and it started to get pretty hot. We appreciated the shaded rest spots that had mist sprays.
When asked what I wanted to do next I answered Drift Racing again. That was without a doubt my favorite ride. So we decided to hop on the Road Train to catch a ride to that area.
Drift Racing
Race: Third Race
Vehicle: Highway Patrol Car
Place: First🆠(out of 1 racer)
We didn’t ride that many rides but we sure did a lot of walking today.
We missed out on a couple of attractions that I wanted to try but we still had some ride tickets, so I went on Water Shot one more time, this time with Mommy.
I had a great time Greenland! I know that sometimes when riding rides and experiencing things, I’m concentrating so much on taking in the experience that it doesn’t look like I’m having fun. I often look very very serious. But I do really enjoy myself. It is usually revealed later in reflection. Without any prompting or preamble I said, “That was fun, yeah?” when walking back to our car. I’m sure we’ll return to Greenland again someday and hopefully I’ll be bigger and braver so that I can ride more rides.
