It's Disney Channel, I don't think it counts. There's a difference—

[But she pauses as the ride starts going a little faster.]

Oh, here we go.

[aflatouttahell]

A diff-?

[They sure are going faster. And the animatronics have turned... foreboding.

And up there-]

Is that just... a drop?

[robitussin]

Yes.

[Prepare yourself, Jez.]

[aflatouttahell]

Oh.

[And in the split-second before they go over, she sees how far down is.]

Oh.

[Annnnd she is clinging to your arm, Natalie. Unless it is in the air, then she's just clinging to you.]

[robitussin]

[It is definitely not in the air, and she might be clinging a little too. But in a subtle way. She's totally cool, she's got this.

She's definitely making a ridiculous face when they both get soaked, though. See icon, only more extreme. That's going to be fun when they get the picture.]

[aflatouttahell]

[Well her face is definitely mostly panic. And now she is also shivering because wet.]

Th-that was... fun?

[It's not sarcastic, she's just... in hindsight, that was fun.]

[robitussin]

[Even if it's not sarcastic, something about her tone makes Natalie laugh.]

You sound surprised.

[aflatouttahell]

I was screaming and grabbing onto you! I was... expecting to be angry? But no, that was fun.

[robitussin]

Wait, why were you going to be angry? Because of the drop?

[aflatouttahell]

Yes? I don't know, I think I probably should have realized that was the point of the ride, but I missed that, somehow.

[robitussin]

Well. Better or worse than Space Mountain?

[aflatouttahell]

I mean... at least Space Mountain didn't lure you in with animatronic animals? But I don't know. I liked both of them.

[robitussin]

Yeah, starting with cute animals when you're headed for a fifty foot drop is a little misleading, I'm with you there.

[aflatouttahell]

They could at least have the line go by the drop or something.

[She probably would have noticed!]

[robitussin]

At least I warned you about the whole getting wet part?

[just not the sudden plummet into watery oblivion]

[aflatouttahell]

You did! Which was very thoughtful of you. And part of me is glad you didn't give me... ride spoilers, I guess.

[robitussin]

Yep. Better to go in blind, and all that.

[Anyways! She hands the map of the park to Jezebel with a smile.]

What do you want to try next?

[aflatouttahell]

Hm... wait, this place has a haunted house?

[POINTS AT THE HAUNTED MANSION??]

[robitussin]

Oh, yeah. That one is really cool, you wanna go check it out?

[aflatouttahell]

Sure! Sounds good to me.

[robitussin]

[to the haunted mansion they go! and once again, they skip the lines due to the magic of museboxing.]

You ready?

[aflatouttahell]

Yeah. This is really neat already.

[robitussin]

Yeah. And no long drops in this one, I promise.

[aflatouttahell]

Funny, this is the one I'd expect that from.

[robitussin]

This one's actually pretty slow. You gotta get a chance to look at all the creepy stuff, after all.
