Pearl Jam were playing at Madison Square Garden so Paul and I went to see them play. Before the concert Paul and I went to the Houndstooth pub and talked to a few people we knew who he’d met at Pearl Jam concerts in Australia and Los Angeles.

While waiting for Pearl Jam to come on I got a foot long hot dog and a diet coke.  The hot dog was delicious.  When we were getting our food and drinks they came on and started to play their first song.  So we got the food and ran to our seats, we missed most of the first song though, Corduroy.  At the concert Pearl jam played 34 songs over three hours.  During some songs everybody was jumping up and down and you could feel the stadium rocking  around, it felt like an earth quake pretty much.

Magic Mountain - Rollercoaster overload!!!

My day at Six Flags to Magic Mountain.  Magic mountain is a rollercoaster theme park that is the most awesome place you could go to if you love high speed and really loopy rollercoaster’s.  So this was my day there.

The first rollercoaster I went on was Tatsu.  On this rollercoaster it feels like you’re flying like a bird doing twists and turns all the way around until you get to the massive loop.  The loop go’s  around going down so it feels like you’re about to fall out.  Tatsu is scary the first time but then on the second and others you laugh.

The Viper.  The Viper used to be the fastest rollercoaster in the world.  It went up to 110km/h. It had three loops a twist turn and normal turns.  The Viper was really cool with its speed and loops, when you went really  fast your head got pinned back against the seat.

Riddlers Revenge.  Riddlers revenge was a really loopy coaster, and instead of sitting you stand up in the carriage.  This coaster was scary with all the loops and twists because it feels like you’re about to fall out of your seat.  The loops are big long ones that feels really long when you go on the first time.

My day in Universal Studios.  My mum, sister, Paul and I went to Universal Studios on Mother’s day.  Universal Studios is where most directors make movies; e.g Jaws, Fast and the Furious, Back to the Future and many more.  There are lots of rides there also, here are some awesome rides I went on.

This one isn’t a ride but it was scary The House of Horrors!  It was real people dressed-up as monsters, Were wolfs, Chucky doll and Jason.  I crapped myself the first time, it was so scary it had exit doors.  People popping out when the lights flash you jump, it is funny at the same time when you get scared.

There was the Jurassic park ride which was one that you get a little wet on it. It was cruisy all the way until the end, the end was crazy a gigantic steep drop from top to bottom.  This  was one of the parts when you get wet, the carts go full speed and flies down the slope and splashes in the water.  It was boring at the start of the ride but great at the end part.

My first day in LA was awesome we woke up and went down to the City walk for breakfast. The city walk is a place in LA with lots of shops and food stalls with fantastic things to do. Like iFly in the city walk, going to the surf shops and yummy food.

For breakfast we had Starbucks, fruit and pizza. The pizza was delicious it was all nice and cheesy and juicy. Starbucks is like dome in Australia like with the cookies and coffee For lunch we had my first American hotdog from Pinky’s with tomato ketchup.

The City Walk is really really cool it has iFly, which is indoor sky diving in a wind tunnel. iFly felt really strong against you when you stood up. IFly was a little challenging but i got the hang of it. Before going into iFly u had to put on skydiving costumes and helmets and goggles. Our instructor's name was Drew and he was a cool guy teaching us how to fly. On my second fly drew took me up really high and then dropped then flew up again about ten centimetres away from the metal mesh. It gave me a shock but it was fun. Paul, Ella and I went to play some games in the City Walk, this games place was similar to Timezone.
