Mechanical Hippogriff

Come one, come all and test your bravery on the Mechanical Hippogriff. Climb aboard the magical mechanical hippogriff and see how long you can last before it kicks and jerks you off of its saddle. Made of only the latest and greatest wizard technology, the Mechanical Hippogriff will take you on the ride of your life. Only the bravest will do.

Located in the middle of Diagon Alley, the Mechanical Hippogriff is set in the middle of a boxing ring of red, velvet ropes. Inside the ring, the ground is padded with bouncing, magical pillows to cushion your wipe-out gracefully.

However, the main event is the Mechanical Magical Hippogriff in the centre of the ring. It's golden saddle has two hand rails for you to hang onto and your ride starts when the Hippogriff plays "Pop Goes The Weasel". Try and hold on because during that whole song the Hippogriff will thrash and kick to try and take you down.

Have fun and conquer the Hippogriff.

OOC: Have fun riding the hippogriff, and interacting with the staffer, Jeremiah Reeves ( Lizasaurus)!

Remember that Snitchseeker site rules and the Diagon Alley Rules apply at all times. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Diagon Alley Questions thread.

Jeremiah was tipping his hat to a young woman who walked past when a younger boy appeared, "Well hello there." he said with a southern drawl, "Yes, it's literally a hippogriff. He's here just for youngsters to ride and see how long you can hang on." Though he wondered if the boy might be just a bit young. He wasn't too worried about injuries though, the ring was well padded.

"Are you thinking you might like to try riding him?" Yep, he'd decided the hippogriff was male, mechanical or not. Now he just needed a name for him. Hmm, well that was going to take a bit of thought.

Hippogriffs.. and Wade. They go well, don't you think? Don't answer that, because Wade was heading on over to ride that. It couldn't be too different than a real one, right?

As Wade approached the ring, he could see the fiery leprechaun that his ruffling mate spoke of and oh, a cowwizard? Was he the ring leader? Hm. Very interesting. He glanced at Tag before turning to the American cowboy-looking gentleman, "Can I have go.. after him, of course."

Oh oh oh! Another hippogriff! He had just come from taking a ride on one at the Magical Carousel and here was another! Though it wasn't one like a carousel. This one reminded him of the bulls Muggles rode when they tried to see how long they can stay on before they were thrown off.

"Hi there!'' Adi said enthusiastically to the man who had to be the staffer. "Can I have a go after those two?'' He indicated to the two teen boys. Or was he too young to have a go? Adi hoped that wasn't the case. It would be an absolute outrage!

Looking at the mechanical hippogriff I immediately saw a challenge. One that I would like to conquer. I saw the staffer and another what looked like a first year. So I went over and asked the staffer " Hello sir.. Is it possible I can ride the hippogriff?" I then turned to the first year and said " hi"

splits time periods xD have fun!
 

"Of course" Jeremiah drawled in response to the older boy. Moving to help him if he needed "Just remember hold on tight to the two handles up here by the saddle. Have fun with it, and see how long you can last up there!"

"Okay you're up!" he said moving to the next boy, a might young, but he was quite safe on this ride. It went by weight for the difficulty level. "Ready?" he asked before swinging the boy up onto the saddle "Just hold on, nice and tight, to the handles."

Another young boy who wanted a shot at the hippogriff. "You sure can. Would you like to have a go on it?"

It was going to be my turn soon, and I could hardly wait. If my parents caught me riding a mechanical hippogriff, they would freak out espically my mom and I could hear her say "That is not lady like." but I didn't care I was going to ride that hippogriff!

Tag listened to this 'employee' he figured, very closely. So the hippogriff was here for people to ride on. "WICKED AWESOME!" Tag said excitedly. This day was getting better and better. He began to wonder if you had to pay to ride the hippogriff. Staring at the hippogriff for another second Tag returned his attention back to the man, "Huh? Oh, yes! That sounds brilliant! So, can I just climb on over there, or is everything not set up yet?" It all looked ready to Tag but just in case.

Slowly, though, he started to make his way over to the boxing ring.



As Tag waited for further information or, rather, perhaps, instructions from the man working at this place he turned around to see a curly haired dude. What was his name again? Wad? Wage? Minimum wage? Hehe, no. WADE? Was that it? That sounded like it could be a name. "Hello, dude with the good hair." You know, because Tag didn't know him too well, he'd rather this young man have a nickname rather than guessing a name and saying it wrong.

He nearly chuckled at the girl's words, but looked seriously "Well, it's just for fun. If you'd like to ride him, I'll help you on. If you fall off there is lots of cushioning charms, so you won't get hurt in any way."

"Yep, it's all set for you to ride." Moving over to the hippogriff with the boy, he pointed to where he should put his foot "Just put your right foot right there in the stirrup and swing your left foot right up and over into the saddle. When you're all set, I'll start him up."

The man told Tag that everything was set up and it was time for him and try out this hippogriff. Paying attention to his instructions Tag went over to the hippogriff, and as the man had said, put his right foot on the stirrup and swung over his left foot and placed it within the stirrup as well. Like that, yes? He then positioned his hands tightly on the hand rail and grinned, and waved at the other people! Someone should've taken a picture of him. You know, for memories! "Ready whenever you are!"

“Okay, I’m ready whenever you are.”I told the staffer. While I waited my turn, I watch as another person got on the hippogriff getting ready for his ride. This ought to be fun to watch I thought to myself. This boy will probably get thrown off. I crossed my arms and proceeded to watch.

"Why thank you, Tag." Wade grinned at what he was called, "You can also call me Wade." Probably a good time to explain how he knew Tag, then. "Alec mentioned you and him went matress sledding.. How is that?" It sounded fun.

Let's see. Swing your right leg over after stepping in that little step thingy. "Like this?" Now Wade gripped the handles.. hmm, now how did Americans do it? Oh yeah. He left one hand to grip the handle and the other to raise in the air. He was ready to go.

Have fun!
 

Nodding, he stepped back "Okay then, have fun!" he said as he hit the button and the hippogriff started moving and kicking, thrashing about to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasley Weasel. A half grin half smirk appeared on his face as he watched the kid named Tag have his go on the hippogriff.

"Okay then!" he said taking the young boy he swung him up into the saddle. "Hold on tight to the handles right here." he said patting the handles, and put your feet in the stirrups." If he could reach anyway...hmm maybe he should adjust them? "When you're ready I'll hit the button.

"Yep, right on." he said nodding his head "All set?" Yeah the kid looked ready for a rodeo with that stance. He wanted to snicker but didn't, might not last that long if he didn't hold on tight with both hands! Moving away he hit the button to get the hippogriff started.

So the guy hit the button to start the hippogriff and Tag was A-OKAY with that. At first the little dude was grinning. The tune that played to the motion of the hippogriff was rather relaxing, amusing and kiddish sounding, it put Tag to ease."Hey, this isn't so bad!" Tag said turning to smile at the operator guy.

But, as soon as he said that the hippogriff began to move around a bit more wildly. Tag gripped the rails as his body jerked about with the hippogriff. He wouldn't get hurt, would he? Would...would the hippogriff be thrashing about to the rhythm of the song? The blonde had heard it a few times. Doesn't it speed up after a while. Just the thought made Tag's eyes nearly bug out and he clutched onto the rails so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.

I held on tightly to the handles, and made sure my feet were secure in the stirrups. I tightened my grip a little more on the handle. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I have never had this much fun before. I took a deep breath and told the staffer “I’m ready when you are!”

Yay! He could ride the cool Hippogriff! "I'm all ready, Mister!'' Adi enthusiastically told the man who was kind enough to hoist him up. So what did he have to do? He held on tight to the handles. He knew the professionals would hold on with one hand. But hey, he wasn't a professional. But maybe he would use one hand sometime?

Giving him a smile he nodded "Just hang on." he called out. The ride was a little more difficult due to the boys size. But it still wasn't unreasonably bad. It was after all meant to be fun! He saw his eyes and kept a close eye, so if he started freaking out, Miah would just hit the button again to slow to a stop.

"Good." he said with a smile and returned to the button, and hit it so the ride would start up.

"Okay!" Heading for the button again he hit it starting up the hippogriff for the boy. "Have fun!"

*shifty*
 

Tag looked at the man again. Noooooo. Mr. Unicorn was going to purposefully let go of the railings so that he could fly off into the distance like the unicorn he was. Yeah, hippogriff buddy, you could stop shifting side to side so rapidly now. The little boys body flopped in bad manners, making it feel as if something was going to come up through his throat. No one needed to see that. Hoping that nothing would come up, Tag did the stupid mistake of putting one hand up to his mouth, so that the opposite hand was the only one gripping the rails.

Now his body really began to flail. Upwards and backwards and side to side. Tag was a ballerina dancing in a very dizzy, unprofessional manner. His fingertips were losing grip, and with one last strong pull from the hippogriff Tag felt his body be propelled into the air. Thankfully he hadn't caught much air, but landed almost in a starfish manner.

"Hello there" he drawled as a girl walked around the perimeter and finally came to a stop near him "Are you interested in giving my hippogriff a chance? See if you can last til the end of the music?" Hmm not too many girls yet, only one had tried it. And no one had made it til the song ended. Perhaps a girl might be able to succeed?

Watching as the boy flopped around he sort of winced, maybe he should st... Nope, the hippogriff came to a stop immediately as the boy flew threw the air and landed on the ground, starfish shaped. "How you feel?" Miah asked as he knelt beside him. "You almost made it, well done."

Please...just please don't get sick. Jeremiah really wasn't in the mood to clean that up!

Clutching his stomach a bit Tag looked at the man with a slight discomforting look to his face. Yep, he wasn't going to move for a couple of more seconds. He then asked Tag how he felt, "Lovely...." responded Tag in a winded voice. Then the man continued to tell Tag that he had nearly finished through the song of the ride. That put a small, strained smile to his face. Hey, that wasn't so bad. "I did? That's awesome!" He said excitedly now as he came into a sitting position. A few more seconds of resting and Tag slowly got on his two feet and left the ring.

Though, rather than leaving the area he stood nearby to watch how long all the other people, like Wade, lasted. An if they didn't how they would land. From where he stood Tag gave the guy in charge a thumbs up!

Huh. Helena walked around the outside of the ring. Inside was a gray winged horse. Well, i guess she would call it a horse. It had a horse's back end and an eagle's front end. It was saddled, and there were cushions all around it. Must be some magical form of a bucking bull. There were bars in front of the saddle... sheesh, the bucking bulls she had ridden never had bars! And neither did the horses she had ridden for years. There other kids had gotten on it, so she would definitely give this one a go. She alked over to the operator. "Excuse me, could i ride he, uh, thing please?"

Someone was talking to her.

Those world-weary eyes shifted towards the direction of the speaker. Oh so it was the guy who ran the whole thing. Give the Hippogriff a chance? "Only if the ride's free..." she retorted as she turned around-- game operators never give stuff for free, she knew that much. Unless there was some kind of trade off, and she wasnt exactly interested in bargaining over a ride.

And that would've been SUCH a smooth way to decline until she turned around and saw some DUDE looking right at her. She squinted. What was HE looking at? He looked nice. Too nice. And quiet. Too quiet. Of course he could be nothing more than a harmless patron waiting for his turn to ride. Or maybe he's probably one of those--

"I'll take that ride." she said spinning quickly and addressed the Hippogriff Man. Dont look around; keep your eye on the contraption. "Do I win something if I stay on long enough hmm?"

Giving the boy a grin when he said awesome. "Definitely awesome." He went to offer the boy a hand up but he was already getting to his feet. He made sure the kid was able to walk on his own before moving on to the next kid but did give him a thumbs up back when he saw him give him one.

He looked up in time to see a boy who seemed to be following another student. Giving him a smile and nodded to the hippogriff in the ring. "You want to try him out?"

Another youngster! "Why of course you can" he drawled nodding his head "It's my hippogriff, all you need to do is sit on him and hold on as tight as you can while the music plays."

"Of course he's free to ride." he said with a smile for the girl, the other kid had appeared to be following. "All the rides today are free, so you can climb right up if you wish and try him out." Err, maybe she wasn't interested. She'd turned away and he went back to helping another rider when he heard her voice again addressing him. "Err, no. I don't believe so. But if you succeed on lasting longer than anyone else or til the end of the song, you get the chance to brag to everyone once you get to Hogwarts."

For Touz
 

"Give it your best!"..Alright then, looks like Wade was ready. Soon after the button was pressed, he could feel his lower half starting to rock. Okay, maybe he shouuld use both hands.. just for a little bit. Wade knew like a jerky broom, and rocky waves there had to be some rhythm before you can regain control.

It felt reaaally weird, before he realised he had to move along with it. *ROCK* *ROCK* *ROCK* So, he gradually allowed his lower half to move with it in a pushing motion, up and down, up and down, up and- hey, he was getting the hang of it. Wade rose one hand again before beaming, "Woooo, this is awesome!" If this was as fast as it was going to go, well, this was a piece of cake then.. or pie.. maybe even pickles too. Hm.

''Oh I'll definitely have fun!'' Adi called to the man as he watched him press the button. Adi felt the hippofriff start to move. Slowly, forwards to backwards at first then side to side. "Come on, Mr Hippogriff! Show me what you got!'' He could feel it picking up speed bit by bit.

"Woooo hooooo!'' Adi shouted, thoroughly enjoying himself. "I won't let you throw me off!'' He held on tighter with his left hand and raised his right one above his head, just as he had seen on television. This was soooooo much fun!

[QUOTE=Lizasaurus;11419800]"Good." he said with a smile and returned to the button, and hit it so the ride would start up.QUOTE]



The ride started up slowly at first ...” Oh come on is that all you’ve got. This is easy.” But soon after Petra noticed that the Hippogriff was picking up speed. “Now this is what I call a challenge.YEEEEHAAAWWW!!” Petra shouted out. She had never had this much fun and felt this free before in her life.

But soon Petra noticed that it was getting harder to hold on, the hippogriff was bucking wildly, and more fiercely than ever before, and now Petra was concentration on holding on to this hippogriff. She was not going to let go. “Don’t let go... Don’t let go...” Petra’s hand started to get numb and then Petra felt as if she was flying and then had landed on a soft cushion of some sort. Petra opened her eyes and saw the hippogriff she was riding. Well at least I had fun Petra thought. She tried to look at the crowd but they were going in every direction. Petra started to get up and walk off the ring but as soon as she stood up her legs wobbled and she fell back down. Petra tried to stand up again and she fell back down. This time she just laid there waiting for the sky to stop spinning or for a staffer to help her out of the ring. But she will never forget this moment, the first time she had fun.

"It's not my fault you can't keep up with me." He looked down at her, not very far but a little. " We should learn how to do a stretching jinx. That way you can be as tall as me." And then she wouldn't get left behind.

Mikey was practically bouncing up and down. When could they have a go? He didn't want to have to wait any longer.

Of course Zahra wanted to ride with him. Michael looked at the man who was running the ride and grinned. "SHE'S A BIT OF A SCAREDY CAT. I'LL NEED TO HOLD HER HAND."

BWAHA!!!

plus Evan
 

Did he just say free? Eeeeyyyyesss on you Mr Hippogriff Man. “Is it?...” the brunette girl muttered doubtfully, crossing her arms and walking itty bitty closer to the contraption. She looked at the man carefully, if he actually springs something at her, can she try to outrun him? Hmmmmmmm.....

Oh wait what? No prize? “Not even a food coupon or anything?” Bragging rights? “I cant eat bragging rights.” Little miss petite huffed a bit then—full stop. The man thought she went to Hogwarts? More eeeyyyeeeing Mr Game Operator. Is she so obviously young? Huff huff huff. Need to put on more make up to look older. Of course she has the option to... nah. That other option isn’t particularly comfortable.

ANYWAY “Fine. I will go ride it out till the end of the song.” Steals glance at Mr Curly McShady. Whatever he’s up to, she’s certainly not one to back out now. Not that she had a choice.

Oh one other thing. Spins around to Mr Hippogriff Man again “How many tries do we get?” she asks casually. “I mean some of us doesn’t know what its like to be tossed around like parcel before.” Hmmmm?

"Depending on the age and size of the person riding it it has a different setting for each one." he said kindly in response. "For younger students, it'll be slower and gentler, for older students it'll be a little rougher and faster." Did that explain it well enough? Hopefully!

"If you're ready just put your left foot into the stirrup and swing your right foot up over into the saddle. Then hang on to the handles right here." he said showing the boy where to put his feet and how to hang on.

"Great job!" he exclaimed watching the older boy able to get the rhythm of the ride and hang on quite easily. Hmmm, was the hippogriff malfunctioning? Or was he really just that good....might want to check it when it ended. Couldn't make it too easy for them. Right?

A grin appeared as the young boy started talking to the hippogriff. "Great job!" he called, as the boy held on tight, but almost chuckled when he raised one hand above the head. Wanted to be a cowboy as well!

Heading over to the girl when she landed on the cushioned ground. "Well done!" When she fell back down, he offered his hand to help her up. "Once everything stops spinning we can help you up, how does that sound?" It was hard to walk after bouncing around like that, he knew that much! "How are you feeling?"



"Nope not at all, it's completely safe. The hippogriff goes by the size and weight of the person for the difficulty level." he responded with a smile turning to the next boy. So far the ride had been a huge hit! The kids were starting to challenge one another!

"Err....with Mikey?" he asked as a young girl approached. "Mikey who?" Had he missed someone? "It's not too easy to hold on to the handles for two people, and there's only one saddle." He winced at the thought of two young kids riding it and then flying off and landed on one another as well. Yes the ring was cushioned but if they rode together and bashed heads or something? OUCH!

"I recommend the two of you take turns rather than go together, you might end up getting hurt..." he said shaking his head. And who was Mikey?

Ohhhhh...that's Mikey! "I still say you two shouldn't ride together." he said shaking his head "You might land on one another, and there isn't four handles to hang onto."

"I...uhhmmm." he didn't know what to say! Maybe he should have thought of prizes for lasting til the end? Eat bragging rights? Okay well, that was true but.. He was about to try for a response again but she spoke saying she'd ride it out til the end of the song. "Okay, yep let's get you settled then on the..." Wait. What? Like a parcel? Merlin! "You can try as many times as you'd like. You just need to wait in line again if there's others behind you."

Hah! Stumped him there didn’t she Mr Hippogriff Man? She would love to continue tormenting talking to him but then she wasn’t one to hold up the line. Specially this line didn’t really have something to bring with her in the end.

Except pride of course. Which is kinda on the line now.

She wasn’t exactly thrilled with having to go back to the end of the line for seconds, but in her head, she may not even need a second round. Confident she seemed but was actually quivering with nerves. With a short huff she stepped towards the contraption. Goodness this thing was bigger up close innit? Cautiously she slipped her foot into the stirrups and swung her other leg across, shimmying a bit on the saddle to make sure she had a good grip on it. Her leggings are making this slippery. Darn she KNEW she should’ve worn jeans today.

“Alright...” she muttered under her breath. Then to the ride operator “So.... lets see what she’s got huh?”

Adi held on a good few minutes, really enjoying himself. But soon the Hippogriff was becoming increasingly wild. Still, he loved every second. "Aaaahhhahahah!!! Yeeeehaaaaw!'' he yelled out of sheer exuberance.

Soon though, he had to hold on with two hands. The hippogriff was bucking in all directions. Not as hard as it had with the older students but enough to make Adi realise he was slowly loosing his control. He didn't panic or anything.. This was too fun to panic! Suddenly, the hippogriff bucked! Harder than before and it was enough to send Adi flying! "Look at me! I can fly!'' he yelled, flailing his arms as he shot by a group of person waiting to take a ride. He landed on his butt by Jeremiah's feet. He flopped onto his back and grinned up at the man. "That was fuuuuun! I wanna go again!''

Nodding he smiled at the kid "Okay, ready then?" he asked as he moved back to where the button was. He'd rather the child be ready for him to hit the button then push it and take them by surprise! That could send them flying without a chance to try to stay on.

Making sure she got up into the saddle easily enough, he eyed her leggings but didn't say anything. Might make it hard to hold on with her legs as well. Well too late to think on that. "Okay all set?" When she said let's see what 'she's' got, he moved over to the button and pressed it and watched as the hippogriff began to move.

He grinned as the boy yelled and kept an eye on him as the hippogriff bucked in every direction to the sound of the music. Merlin he really was getting tired of that song. When the boy flew through the air and landed next to him he looked down "Well done. You're welcome to try again, just need to wait for your turn again." He then offered his hand to help him up when he was ready to get up.

Soon Petra''s dizziness was starting to clear the she was finally able to focus on the staffer. Shaking her head trying to clear it she looked up at the staffer with a big smile and said " That was totally wicked!!! I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for helping me. Is the summer festival every summer or like once every blue moon?"

"I'll wait, Mister!'' Adi said with enthusiasm as he grabbed the man's hand and pulled himself up. Now he noticed his butt was aching a bit from that landing. Oh well. Who cares? He was going to take another go at that hippogriff! And this time he'll stay on until the music was over!

It was moving....

The MechaHippogriff was MOVING.

Perhaps for the first time since she stepped foot on Diagon Alley that know-it-all demeanor slips, the nervous consternation evident in her face. She cant tell if she’s holding on enough or the whole world seems to be tilting on its side dancing along with the jerking motion of the mechanical bea—

*PLOP*

Okay obviously that was just her.

She scrambled to get up quickly, pulling her dress down for the sake of her modesty, quickly straightening herself out and shrugging that confidence back on “Well how did I do?”

Studiously ignoring that the music is still playing yup.

Bwaha!

If he wasn't so excited about riding on the mechanical Hippogriff then he would have teased her mercilessly about her height. Not to mention the blush that had appeared on her cheeks. What was up with that?


Those thoughts would have to wait for now because the Hippogriff owner was telling them THEY COULDN'T RIDE TOGETHER.

WHAT??

"Pfft. Mister if you'd seen half the things we do to each other, landing on one another is kinda rather tame." And besides, he hadn't been planning on holding on anyway.

AWW MAN!!!!

Zahra had taken advantage of his talking to the man that she had called shot gun before he could. "FINE!! BUT I GET TO BE IN THE FRONT ON THE NEXT GO!"

Oh yes, there was definitely going to be another go!

Quick post before work! *runs off* It short and lame but weee.
 

Quickly following after his BFF, Mikey made his way into the ring and BOUNCED, BOUNCED, BOUNCED his way over to the Hippogriff. Only to find that Zahra was not on it yet.

"Told you that you needed a stretching jinx." he stated with a very smug look on his face.

After watching her try her hardest to get on the ride, Michael rolled his eyes and dropped to one knee while linking his fingers together and holding them out. "Come on short fry. I'll give you a leg up."

The things he did for her.

Oh she was giving him the front? Mikey didn't even hesitate. He pulled himself up onto the Hippogryff and immediately began digging his heels into the metal. The Hippogryff began to move and he let out a loud "WHOOP!" while waving his hands in the air.

"This is better than riding Adri and Briony's cow." he said as the Hippogryff began to move faster.

He liked Zahra's idea of getting one. He would save all of his pocket money from now on. Of course they would have to keep it at her house. His dad would never let them keep it at his house.

"HOLD ON Z!" It was trying to buck them off.

Lulz. The cow. LOLOL. Funniest thing ever.
 

He wanted to argue, and no sooner had he opened his mouth the two kids went and jumped on the hippogriff and he just stared blinking at them. Finally hitting the button he shook his head. Okay yeah if they were going to get hurt, it wasn't his fault right? He hoped not, he really didn't want to get blamed if two kids knocked each other out riding a one person hippogriff! He didn't even know how it was going to work, since two people would put a lot of weight on the machine! If it went by weight this might not end well at all. The difficulty level was going to be really bad!

And all he could do was just stand there and stare at the two mischievous kids!

"I'm glad you enjoyed it" he said with a smile. He was having fun watching the kids play on this and see how long they could last! "Oh every few years or so, we try to make our rounds back here to Diagon Alley." It was his first year but he knew they'd been there a few times.

"Okay see you in a bit." he said with a grin to the boy.

"Very nicely." he said averting his eyes as she straightened out her dress. He gave her that much, not the easiest thing to ride in a dress! "Lasted quite a while." he added with a nod. Well, she'd done her best anyway, right? "Well done."

Hehe.

The Whomping Willow. That had been so awesome. It was a shame that they hadn't actually got to ride it properly. That's why he was going to try again when they got back to school. He was going to conquer that tree or die trying. Okay maybe he wouldn't go that far.

"YOU ALRIGHT BACK THERE?" She wasn't going to be sick or anything was she?

Michael turned his head around to see if she was okay and realised a second too late that hadn't been a very good idea. The Hippogriff began to buck wildly and his hands slipped from the handle.

His eyes widened and he opened his mouth. "ZAAAAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRAAAAA"

He was going down.

"Yes, Mister!'' Adi replied with a grin as he went towards the back of the others who were waiting for their own urns. "Come on, you guys! Hurry so I cant take my turn again!'' the excited little boy muttered, hopping from one foot to the other. That Hippogriff was the best thing ever!

He was going down alright.

All the way to the ground. Thank Merlin, the area around the mechanical Hippogriff was cushioned otherwise he might have done himself an injury. Although he wasn't sure that his butt was ever going to be the same again.

Michael got back to his feet and was just about to suggest another go when he caught sight of Zahra. And man did his friend look sick.

Her face was actually green.

"You wanna go check out the petting zoo?" That was nice and tame, right?

*is guessing your up next xD*
 

Watching as Mikey and Zahra had flown and miraculously were uninjured for the most part. Though the poor girl seemed a bit winded, he shook his head "Well done both of you." For not getting seriously hurt in other words! Merlin, maybe he needed a sign, one rider at a time!

"Okay you're up again." he said with a grin to the boy who'd rode not too long before. Miah was thrilled that the ride was a huge hit and loved seeing how excited the kids were when it came to their turn and even came back for more!
