RIP Orient Express

For our fourth of July festivities we went to Worlds of Fun on Monday. A few years ago we went ON the fourth and Trevor and I watched the fireworks from atop the Orient Express, before that first drop. Remember that drop? Well sadly we weren't able to repeat the experiance because the Orient has gone to the great amusement park in the sky. Along with the Xtream roller and the shishboomer. The Zambizi is still living somewhere in Columbia, South America. I kid you not. Anyway. Remember our first trip to Worlds of Fun when Sammy was about 2 years old. I'm thinking of the picture of her asleep on Mom's shoulder. Well it's still a good time just not as good as it was with the Orient Express, my personal favorite roller coaster. It is replaced with a pretty fun ride called Spinning Dragons. It looks like a roller coaster but your car spins on the track. It's fun but it's no OE. Sigh.
Kelsey wants to make it known that she rode both the Boomerang AND the Mamba!
