Meanwhile, Unaware of Andy’s one man mountain goat challenge, the boys are on to Lex Luthor , which has my heart in my mouth but they absolutely love it. The only down side is that Superman is not running and Connor is really down as he wanted to ride that above all else.
one of those feetwatching moments
Andy has joined us by now, having lost a few lbs in his epic walkabout in the searing heat so we stop in an Arcade and get some more drinks , then the boys run off to Apocalypse at 2pm which they loved and run laughing straight on to Jet Stream at 2.30. The flashpass is now paying off . We have 5 rides done , only another 10 or so to do - we may even be done by 6 !
But then the Qbot tells us we can get on Riddlers Revenge at 2.45 and we wait and wait and another parent starts to get angsty with park staff saying she has lost her child as she joined the FP queue over an hour ago and she still hasn’t seen her so she must be lost and then we start to get a bit twitchy that maybe we aren’t sat by the exit at all and we have somehow missed the kids.
This is the one you stand up on
Then at 3.20 they emerge – not lost, just in a darn big queue – so remember that the FlashPass said it took 90% off the queue time – well at that rate , the poor beggars in the standby line must still be stood there now then.
The Qbot says they can get on Green Lantern, just round the corner at 3.30 so confident that this wont be a long wait, we order a big pizza and some cheesesticks to await their return, plus some drinks. A fairly reasonable $40 for the lot– it’s a big pizza and Andy is sure there will be leftovers.
They are back by 4pm , so not too bad at all and quicker than you can say “it’s a big pizza” , its all gone, much to Andy’s amazement and disappointment. Suitably refuelled, the boys vote to skip Batman and to press on .
Superman is now up and running so we suggest that they can let their food go down while waiting in the queue – yes its at an hour, but we all know they over egg the queue times. Except they don’t here and the bleeping ride keeps breaking down. So we give up and as we are the top of the hill ( yes the one Andy has already climbed ) they go off to do Ninja , forgetting the point about letting food go down.
