We Survived!!!!....Well Kinda!

We went on the Sky Screamer today at Six Flags for Faith's birthday! Happy Birthday, Faith!!!
Well, we went on the NEW Sky Screamer and it was a lot of fun! After a few rides, we met our friends. They hadn't been on the Sky Screamer yet, so we went again! Not a good idea! Before the ride, our friend's mom told us that if we went on the Sky Screamer...just don't let her know...especially if we got stuck up there and threw up! So, we made the decision to brave the ride again. After reaching the top and spinning around for a few seconds, we just stopped...200 feet in the air! For most of the people, it was their first time on the ride, so they didn't know that something was wrong. But we knew.
 
Different reactions:
Paige had her eyes closed and when it stopped, she thought the ride was over. She started to unbuckle her seat until she realized that the ride wasn't over! Paige was sitting with our friend Lynn, and Lynn started yelling for help!
Michelle was sitting with her friend Nat, and they started singing Elmo songs!
Faith was sitting with someone she didn't know and he was telling her about how his brother got stuck on another ride.
Benjamin and I were together and we just were staring at all the people below us. Then, Benjamen started telling weird jokes!
Mom and Bradley were on different ride at the time, and they didn't know that we were the ones who were stuck on the sky screamer.
After about 10 minutes, they  lowered us to the ground, and then everyone finally stared to scream! We saw a lot of people crying!
We decided after all of that excitement that we would ride a baby ride!
