Bio Hazard!

My first trip to six flags last summer was one I will remember for many reasons. I was going with my friend and her family. At first, it looked like it would be a very boring day because as soon as we got there, her parents made us ride this little kid roller coaster with her sister and sister's friend. And it was practically the longest line we waited in all day! We stood there for about 45 minutes and finally, when we got to ride it, it was the most boring ride ever- slow and short. After that, the parents decided to let us split up. So my friend and I started going on as many rides as we could, all morning and all afternoon. One guy who worked at six flags to take pictures of random people even stopped us to take a photo.
Later, about an 45 minutes before we had to leave, we were looking for one last ride we hadn't gone on. But all of the good rides were at least an hour's wait. We decided to check one last ride before we left. We walked over to V2, one of the most fun looking rides at the park, and saw that, it too, was an hour's wait. We were devastated. Maybe so devastated that we weren't the only one to see it. Because that’s when a stranger walked up to us and asked,
"Do you want to go on that ride? I have this wristband that will let you skip the line if you want to use it."
We were shocked. The stranger was letting us borrow his pass, which he paid extra for.
"Aren't you going to use it?" we asked him.
"No I don’t need it. And I could sense your disappointment from all the way over there, he joked.
So we thanked him and ran all the way to the ride and up the steps and got into a line. There were only three groups of people ahead of us and we were psyched . So we waited in line for a while, until I heard some people beside me whispering and giggling, so I glanced over. And there, right in the line next to me, was a boy, who looked about ten or eleven, with a stream of water ( actually something else) coming from you-know where! At first, I thought it was a joke, maybe he was holding a water bottle there. But, no. Then lots of people started staring at, him. He didn’t even look embarrassed, just bored. Well, the people running the ride eventually found out and when they did they came over and the look on their faces were priceless.
"Really?" one of them asked.
So they had to stop the roller coaster for about half an hour to clean up his mess. Apparently it was a bio hazard.
So after that was finally over, they started up the ride again. They still let the kid who peed go on the ride. Disgusting! I would understand if a three or four year old did that, but an eleven year old!
We finally got our turn on the ride, and it was definitely worth the wait. It was the best ride of the day. On the way home we had a lot of laughs because we would definitely remember our trip to six flags.
