Full Tilt: Blog #5: Ride #4: Mirror House Maze

Ahh...the Mirror Maze. This is by far my most favorite ride in this book. The concept for this ride is really awesome, plus the interaction between Blake and Maggie is really cool in this ride as well. Just gonna start with the very weird part of the ride: there are commando clowns. Yeah...commando clowns in the ride. They are clowns in commando outfits with bazookas. Of ocurse, since the rides in here are so dangerous, the shells don't just hit the glass and explode, or even better, break the glass. No, they bounce off the galss mirrors and keep bouncing until they hit someone in the maze and then the unfortuanate person dies. Anyways, now for the summary of the ride. Blake quickly notices how something is odd in the ride. Some mirrors are like fun houses, where they just make you look strange, but others were much more...sinister, I guess. When Blake looked in some mirrors he felt hopeless, weak, and doomed to fail. The mirrors acutally could change the way you felt about yourself. Also, some others make you look like extremely disfigured monsters. So, after wandering around for a while Blake saw some disfigured monster walking around in the maze, and long story short, realized it's Maggie. Then, shortly after, he realized the coolest and most devious part of the maze. None of the mirrors are solid and there are no walls holding them in. Of course, this doesn't make it easy to get out. As he and Maggie walked through mirrors, they became even more disfigured to the point where it's hard to move, or feel so hopeless they want to give up. In the end, Blake and Maggie get separated at the very end of the ride. Blake escapes but Maggie gets stuck in there, sees a mirror that made her completly lose all confidence, and soon she was gone. So, this ride is awesome. The concept of going through mirrors that change the way you actually think about yourself is awesome. Amplification of one's own personal weaknesses shows how devious this park, and Cassandra, can be. Dang, I think this is the longest one I've ever written. Why do these seem to keep getting longer and longer... Done.
