We even had a season pass one year and my parents would just drop us off for the day. It was also the end of year trip for 8th graders at my school.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071826737533792395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-80514974617307141762020-04-16T12:42:10.636-06:002020-04-16T12:42:10.636-06:00I loved Wild Waves, I grew up in Longview so it wa...I loved Wild Waves, I grew up in Longview so it was a little bit of a trip.

Where my totally normal sized husband (6 feet 200 lbs) couldn’t even fit into a third of the rides!<br /><br />Also, if Joey wants no lines he just needs to go on Sunday.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595060795879847843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-52655660249552853432020-04-15T22:33:42.028-06:002020-04-15T22:33:42.028-06:00Skylar probably grew up too far south, but ask him...Skylar probably grew up too far south, but ask him if he’s ever been to Wild Waves. That’s Washington State’s only water park and amusement park. My brother and I decided we needed to revisit it in 2018. We got into a fight in line and he ditched me.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071826737533792395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-47627313768469851722020-04-15T17:45:41.699-06:002020-04-15T17:45:41.699-06:00I grew up in Boise, and the HIGHLIGHT of my childh...I grew up in Boise, and the HIGHLIGHT of my childhood was the yearly trip we took to Salt Lake to visit my grandparents and Lagoon each summer. I remember riding the Turn of the Century swings one year as a teenager and finally looking, actually looking, at the pond and realizing, oh my gosh.... that pond looks like a toilet bowl. A used toilet bowl, actually, just like the one I just saw in the bathroom before getting on this ride. It was like putting on glasses for the first time and seeing the blades of grass. Suddenly the whole park was thrown into relief and the magic was gone. Lagoon is a gross, seedy amusement park, but it's OUR gross, seedy amusement park and I will continue to go and only feel a little bit of guilt for the fish trying to live in that toilet bowl. (At least the goats living under the white roller coaster have gone on to a better place.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-47976665706360190992020-04-15T08:06:02.132-06:002020-04-15T08:06:02.132-06:00Denver has Elitch Gardens, which is like if the Wa...Denver has Elitch Gardens, which is like if the Walmart in the ghetto started a carnival but they've never actually been to one so they started what they thought a carnival should look like. I may have taken my kids to Utah a time or two JUST so we could visit Lagoon because it's obvs what fun is!Kinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075777165584804153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-78693196253767660362020-04-15T00:21:45.267-06:002020-04-15T00:21:45.267-06:00Is it weird if I want to plan a trip to Utah cente...Is it weird if I want to plan a trip to Utah centered solely around my desire to go to Lagoon? This might be a thing now... I don’t know if I should scold you or thank you for this. I guess the jury’s out until if and when it happens. How long is this quarantine stuff going to last? Anyone have a crystal ball? Magic 8 ball?
