Emerald Pointe (21st B-Day)

Sunday was my 21st birthday. There was plenty of fun to be had that night, but in the morning and afternoon I headed down to Emerald Pointe with John, Phil, and Alan to use some free tickets that I had.

Image

We started off with the best ride for lazy people; the Cyclone Zone. You put on a life jacket and float around in a circle for a while. It's awesomefied.

Image

The newest slide is Dragon's Den. In the background is the defunct Hydra Fighter II (Caripro water coaster).

Image

Dragon's Den POV!

Image

More POV.

Image

Phil comes splashing out of one of the slides.

Image

There's me going down the left slide and John hitting the water on the right.

Image

Here's one credit I have that not very many others do.

Image

As you can see part of the track for Hydra Fighter II was removed, and Dragon's Den was put in its place.

Image

Here is a beautiful shot of Phil and I on the Runaway Raft Ride.

Image

Coming to the bottom of the slide.

Image

Here's some random guy going down the Raging Rapids.

Image

The largest slides in the park are the Daredevil Drop and the Twin Twisters.

Image

Daredevil Drop POV.

Image

John survived the drop.

Image

Down comes Phil.

Image

Alan about to go down the SideWinder.

Image

The horror!

Image

There is nothing more terrifying than a wave pool.

Image

I'm drowning.

Image

Alan performs the amazing feat of opening his eyes under water.

Image

Fast forward ahead to the evening. We started out at the Village Draft House for dinner and some drinks, then moved on to downtown Raleigh to Lucky B's, Aura, The Flying Saucer, and maybe somewhere else (the details are a bit shaky).

Image

Not sure what is going on here.

Image

This is at the Flying Saucer.

Image

Good times.

Image

Nobody actually ordered anything at the Flying Saucer, but there were plenty of choices.

Image

I'll leave you with this award winning shot. It's good to finally be legal in every way!

Those pics actually did come out good after all! :)

It was a fun day and we had a great time filling Jonathan with various beverages. How ironic that Lisa's ID was in Phil's wallet the whole time. :P
