Luna Park Activity

Last Sunday the boarders who stayed in, including myself went to Luna Park for an activity, and without the help of Mr. Morrison, we never would’ve gone. It was a great activity that I enjoyed and all the other boarders did. It was so enjoyable in fact, that Mr. Morrison allowed us to stay for another two hours because we were having so much fun. This is a recap of what happened.

First, we meet at the front gate at about 10:45 and started walking down to Luna Park from there. We took a shortcut down to Luna Park and had a very enjoyable walk to Luna Park across the boardwalk. When we got there, we took a photo on the boardwalk and then walked through the iconic Luna Park gate and got our tickets. It was buzzing with activity and we couldn’t wait to get on the rides. The first ride on the list was the Rotor, even though I didn’t do it. After that was ticked off, we went straight for the scary, spooky, Mystery Manor! All of the boys went, even though I also didn’t go, along with a couple of other boys. We also went on the nearby Spider! It was really fun, as it was really fast. By the time we were finished, the other boys came out of the Mystery Manor, and we made our way to Coney Island.

Coney Island was absolutely great, with my favourite part of Coney Island being the Sack Slides. There was one with a 10m drop! After we did the mat slide, we split up and went our own ways. I did the spinning tunnels and then did the moving bridges, but we eventually met back up at the Mirror Maze. It was really fun, but challenging at the same time. We then went to the Joy Wheel! It was a lot of fun, Eventually, we left Coney Island and made our way for the Hair Raiser! The line was long, but we got on. We started going up, and it was long and slow. When got to the top, all of a sudden, we dropped and I could feel the air rushing up my face. When we got close to the bottom, the ride slowed to a crawl, and we got off. After this, we split up again, and some boys went to get lunch while some went on the Wild Mouse. After the boys that went on the Wild Mouse grabbed lunch, we went on the Volare, a ride that goes around really fast and swings you around. After that, we went to Dodgem City, but the line was very long. Instead, we went to the Ranger! It was a really cool ride that swung you around and around. We were going to go a second time but there was a mechanical problem with the ride, so we left to go to the Test Your Strength! Everyone had a go, and people won prizes! After the Test Your Strength, we went to the Rotor for one last time, and I had a go. It was so cool! It felt like we were flying! After the Rotor, we walked back out the Luna Park entrance and took a photo out front and walked back to school. All in all it was a great day and we had lots of fun on the rides at Luna Park.
