Oakland Park — Attraction in Ogui

Map indicates 11pm as their closing time, however, it is 8pm. Luckily, we were there by 7pm cause my boy said they'd never ridden a bumper car or a roller coaster ever (imagine that!). It took forever to find the operative at that hour but we weren't too stressed over it. Tickets #1000 each person (about 5minutes for the bumper ride, 1 cycle for the roller coaster). The roller coaster made me scream through the blunt in my shut mouth as I tried to keep my death grip on the bars while also trying to relax and enjoy the ride. /I wasn't this scared when I rode it in my early teens, so what gives?😕/ was my thought during one particularly sharp turn (in the dark). The dark. It was the dark. It was really dark out at that hour and I loved it because it made the ride seem more imposing than it actually is. The 100 feet drop you can easily see to your right side during the initial slow climb up the track did not help much with my nerves in the dark either. I briefly wondered how fast I'd die if I, say, slipped right off at that point, plummetting into the abyss with trees. Haha. Haha. But, of course, I was properly strapped in to my seat, and I was checking my grip absentmindedly to know whether it was in place (gotta be sure what the cause of death is when you're tempting fate or karma or the universe or yourself like that).

I am most definitely not to be morbid 😆, I'm only saying it was so fun that night I wanted another go at it.

The bumper cars were nice. Some of the cars need to be fixed cause mine stopped 3 times mid ride and I was asked to stop bumping into my partner. What use is a bumper car if it stops moving when it bumps!? The operative had no answer for me then so i dropped it and just spun in circles with my head to the ceiling. It was a silly evening out but I'm pretty, pretty, sure I helped make a fun memory for someone's first time out on those rides, and that, my distinguished review readers, is enough for me.

Oh, my partner's roller coaster car stopped on the tracks just about 4 or 5 meters shy of the finish line. That was embarrassing... for Oakland. Something about a brake system? Yeah, these guys' competence is under question. My point that night was to have a quick fun outside, to destress by doing something I don't do every other time I want to destress. So, despite the setbacks, I am, and was, wholly focused on the fun part.
