Fantasilandia

April 25

At the last minute, my friends (Cali and Kathleen) and I decided to go to Chile's one and only amusement park: Fantasilandia: http://www.fantasilandia.cl/

It was more like a small county fair...poor Chile. and the animations were something else...like many things in Chile, stuck in the 80's. the pirates of the carribean ride and the haunted house were particularly funny. however, their idea of scary is pretty disturbing: naked people being cooked over a fire, etc.

we had two favorite rides. the first was one that just dropped you from really high up (Extreme Fall) but for some reason it was just cooler and scarier chilling up there in the Andes waiting to be dropped. we liked that one so much that we went on it twice...one right after the other. our second favorite one was the Boomerang that shot you up and upside down and then the same thing backwards.

we had anticipated a longer day at the park so once we had done the park like twice, we decided to check out Santiago a little bit (Plaza de Armas). we left when it started getting dark-what a great, action-packed day!
