For Jason's birthday, we loaded up some friends in Miss B and headed down to Magic Mountain for the day.
About an hour and a half in to the drive, one of our tires blew out! It was so loud! It sounded like we got hit, but Jason drove us, smooth and steady, to the nearest off ramp to check out the damage.
The whole side of the bus was all scratched up, the mud flap hanging by a thread and the rim over the tire had been completely torn off! (We took it in to the shop after the trip and it needed over $2,000 in repairs!) Luckily, we located a tire shop just 2 miles away that could replace our tire while we hung out in the bus and visited and got us back on the road.
I had never been to Magic Mountain when it was busy, so I had no idea we would be spending so much of the day in line! Luckily, we were a pretty fun group and we managed to entertain ourselves while we waited!
We did manage to get on a few rides and they were totally worth the wait!!
It was also the first night of "Fright Night" at Magic Mountain. I just thought that meant a few of the rides would be switched to sort of a haunted house or something. I'm not a big fan of Haunted Houses. If I want to be scared, I'll watch the news. BUT, much to my surprise, Fright Night was SO much fun! After it got dark, in certain areas of the park, they had misters going to give it that eerie feeling and creepy guys all decked out in Halloween Horror roamed the walkways scaring people!
It was fun to sit back and watch, or try to keep your cool when some crazy looking thing would jump right in your face! We had some good laughs.
And, of course, came home way too late! (Look! New curtains for Miss B!)
