What Is Real?

My Trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg

I got back from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg yesterday. A few fun things happened on our short little trip. The best thing was of course I didn’t do any homework. I wish that was true for today and the rest of the week. I got to see Chastity get scared half to death at the Haunted Mansion, and we got to see some Black Bears.

Although I love pancakes, I could have done without there being a pancake place every where I turn around in both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Gatlinburg’s Welcome sign should read:

Welcome to Gatlinburg:
The world capital for pancakes and air brush t-shirts

Surely people don’t still buy air brushed t-shirts. Even the Wal-Mart in Sevierville sold air brushed t-shirts. An embarrassment for the Smokey Mountains if you ask me.

The worse part of the trip was the $30 (for 2) ride on Ripey’s 4D Motion Theater. You get to see two really crappy 1-2 minute shows. The ride takes about 10 minuets because of the 8 minutes you are just sitting there between shows wondering if the seats should still be vibrating. The first show was un-watchable. The two projectors were not in sinc so you could not make anything out on the screen at all. It looked like a bunch of odd colors overlapping each other. The whole first show was a complete waste. The second show actually worked, but the 3D wasn’t that good. Nothing really popped out at you. Not to mention they were both really corny shows anyway.
