Buds Best Years, Page 44

They went thought the line fast as it was short as I just mentioned. The train was a miniature replica of a steam train. Bud and his group entered there seats. And they waited for the train to get loaded.

All the riders were on and the train started up the steep grade to the top of the mountain. Giant puffs of smoke were now coming from the engine as it struggled up the mountain. Much to Buds delight. Then came the steep downgrade and aright curve. Next the train gathered sped on a straightaway for about 1000 yards. Next a upgrade then a downgrade then a series of small hills that made the train feel like a ship on the ocean. Bud was starting to get see sick.

Suddenly the train started to pick up speed as it was going down a steep grade then a straight away. Bud was scream with joy now. But, sadly the ride was coming to an end. The train was stopping and starting now to disembark and embark passengers on the platform. "What a wild ride the was" Bud commented to his family. "Can we go on it again" "No I am sorry son we cannot" Sid said. "We need to get back to the hotel and get ready for dinner" Harriet said.

As the got off the train Bud said "Someday I hope to own my own theme park like this one except with a computer theme." "You can do anything you want sun with a lot of hard work and determination" Sid said. They rushed to get back to the haunted house and then rushed through the house and now they were on the street running back to there hotel as it was getting dark.

Back at the hotel the doorman greeted everyone with a "How are you" Fine everyone said back. They were in full panic mode now. They had a 7:00pm reservation at the computer city island inn and it was now 6:15. "Everyone hurry up and get into you best dress clothes" Harriet commanded everyone. Bud had brought along a tux just for such an occasion. He had never worn it before because he never had occasion to wear it but, now was the perfect time. "Bud you look sharp in that tux" Sid said. They were ready in about 20 minutes and that left them plenty of time to get to the restaurant with time to spare. Bud was starting to wonder what all the rush was about as they were only going out to dinner sure it was a good place to eat but, it was only food after all. Well I will find out shortly Bud thought. As he surly would.
