Vacation Week: The Cheetah Conquerer

Here is a picture of a real life cheetah!

 Here is a picture of a Cheetah too.  

Only this is a roller coaster at Busch Gardens called "Cheetah Hunt."

This is a picture of our boy, Hunter, waiting in line to go on the Cheetah.

This picture was taken right after he informed me that he was going to throw up.
Thankfully, he never did.

 This is a picture of what the line looked like as we waited to ride the Cheetah.

This is a picture of a semi-relieved boy seeing that the people coming back from just riding the Cheetah ride seemed to have all of their limbs in tact.  Some of them are even smiling!

 

 This is a picture of a boy who has removed his glasses for fear of them falling off into oblivion and knows that his fate is sealed.  He IS riding this ride. 

 

 This is a picture of a boy who is telling his mom, "MOM!  They said NO CAMERAS ALLOWED on this ride!! Stop it!  You're gonna get us in trouble!"

Immediately after that I had my camera confiscated by a Cheetah worker.  :(

OH!  How I WISH I would have not been cheap and just sprung for the picture that was taken of us when we rode this ride together.  The look on Hunter's face in that picture was a look of terror, shock, excitement, and fear unlike I've ever seen on a boy's face!   It was, in a word, hilarious.    After seeing the picture of himself on the ride he told me, "Mom...the ONLY reason why my mouth was open and my face looked like that is because the force of the air going so fast into my face."   HA!!

 Here is a picture of a boy who conquered his fear and the Cheetah and now feels ready to slay a stuffed tiger with his bare hands!! 

 

Here is a picture of the boy who conquered the Cheetah excitedly seeing his dad for the first time and telling him that it was really no big deal.  And that he DID IT!!

Hunter reveled in the pride that he had knowing how proud his dad was of him because he faced his fears and conquered the Cheetah. 

 

We are proud of you, Hunter!!!

Here is a video of the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster for further review of Hunter's experience.
