random things to do - ptbo zoo - riverview park

the ptbo zoo

went there on a class trip in grade 2 or 3

often drove past it's hillside buffalo reserve and warplane on a stick

on the way to grandma's

-

but

by far

despite any nostalgic inclinations

towards buffalo or warplanes on a stick

and despite the myriad of improvements

to the both the park and the zoo

the greatest attraction has always been

and still is

the super fantabulous

ultra long assed

turbo slide thing

whether you're a kid on a class trip

a college student hopped up on ferment

or

just looking to feel your heart beat a little faster

without paying for it

you can't beat this slide for fun and value

it's fast, free, unsupervised, and almost dangerous

it's pretty damn fun

and

it gets right to you

like a shot of absinthe

hits you

right square in the silly

it's pretty decent exercise too

because

there's only one way to do it again

and one way to get there

well two actually

but they both involve going up

there's a couple secret ways to go even faster faster

but
i'm not much

for sharing secrets

so nevermind
