This sucker has some world record because it has that 121 degree angle\/dip, as you can see here&#8230; but I got Grace to ride Eejanaika first with me.  I&#8217;d riden it before and it was the most exciting 40 seconds of my entire life.  Actually, we probably should have gone to the new one first, because later on in the day, the line was 4 hours long (there were signs) so we decided to pass on it. ;_;  It was mostly waiting around and enjoying conversation, with a few rides thrown in here now and then, since the wait was so long.  :\/<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/roxy-grace-rice-crackers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/roxy-grace-rice-crackers.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"roxy grace rice crackers\" width=\"407\" height=\"539\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-866\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n(Mt.

We saw a few clips of the movie&#8230;but Mari was there, and it looked like a scene I hadn&#8217;t seen before? (hey that Rhymes) so I was confused&#8230;did the new movie come out yet?
