frogs in usa

School has started, and I'm still enjoying everyday cos there's still no work to be done! (YET)

Anyway, show you guys where I worked in Kings Dominion as a lifeguard. When I look at these pics, I can still imagine myself standing there, in that familiar white shirt and red shorts, donning a red stylo lifeguard cap and a whistle round my neck...all those wonderful memories!

Kings Dominion! We worked at the water park, called Water Works.

Introducing my team members, the SHARKS!!!!

They're all very nice people to work with!!!



1) Pipeline Peak.

Comprising of 2 pipes of mild intensity at 47feet, and 2 intense ones at 77feet! All are pitch dark inside. You ride the 47feet pipes seated in tubes. Wonder how high 77feet is? Just look at how small the people look at the top! When you ride the purple pipe, basically you go down so fast round the bends, I swear you can experience all the G-forces and centripetal acceleration, sometimes you even have ear blocks hahaha. Finally when you reach the bottom, your world is still spinning while the lifeguard at the bottom looks blankly at your dazed expression. HAHAHA.
























As for the black pipe, I didn't dare to do it. -_- What happens is that you get in, and you'll reach the bottom in 2 seconds!! No kidding! And you'll be skidding like 50m in the pipe before you reach a complete stop. Totally intense!!!!! Most guests step out of the ride screaming, "That is so cool!!!!" Haha. See a guest in action down the black slide??

Oh ya, we get to pick up lots of coins at the bottom. HAHAHAHA.


2) Tidal Wave Bay.

As the name suggests, man made waves are generated. The deepest end is about 6 feet, but when the waves come, it goes to about 6.5 feet.

Close up shot of 2 lifeguards doing their job! Yeah, I spent alot of time at those positions watching the waters. It wasn't boring at all because you see alot of things happening in the waters. (I once found a USD10 note from the waters!)


Dead frogs. Small ones, not those you see when you order frog porridge haha.

When it gets rainy, alot of frogs come out from the outside of the park and unknowingly hop into the tidal wave pool. And sometimes, we're tasked to go into the water and scoop them up. HAHA! It's fun! You get to enjoy the waves while you see the guests siam-ing the frogs. LOL.

I love Kings Dominion!
