West Edmonton Mall Waterpark!

This past Family Day weekend Lisa & I went to the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark. We spent over six hours in it just going on waterslides and playing in the wave pool. The wave pool (in the foreground) turned out to be a lot more fun than we thought. We rented tubes so we could join in the carnage when the waves come. One time I ended up behind Lisa when I started in front of her! (Oh and by the way - we didn't take our camera with us - this is just a picture I got from the internet.)

We went on all the slides that were open - some were closed due to renovations but it meant $18 rather than $30 admission (each). The red one was open. We built up our nerve all day to go on it until finally i said - nope, not going on it. Lisa said yup, I'm gonna do it. On our way up to the purple one I accidentally continued up to the red one. So i thought i'd at least look at what it looked like from up there. After about 5 mins i finally decided to go for it. Funny thing was there were no lines for that one so we just got on and went. It was the fasted ride i've ever been on! Lots of fun! And by the way - its a 100' drop. its hard to see from the picture but you go nearly straight down for the first 50' Imagine a 45 degree angle and then cut that in half.
