This is the picture slideshow from the event Tracks For Wishes back in May. Tracks For Wishes is a fundraising event in which participants collected pledges and rode the wooden roller coaster at Playland/PNE for 2 hours (with breaks of course). Halfway between the two hours of riding, we had a "Moment of Tribute" to honor some friends that were unfortunately lost to life threatening illnesses. The riding participants Jessica, Zijun, Tiffany, and Joanna raised a total of $564.70 to be split between the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Give Kids the World.
What was it like riding it for 2 hours? Well at first it's pretty fun but after a while it gets a bit repetitive. After the 4th or 5th lap, you kind of get used to it meaning you don't feel the roughness much. By the end of the two hours, I swear I could have even fallen asleep on that thing. It wasn't exactly a smooth ride but hey, atleast it isn't ITS A SMALL WORLD for 2 hours!!!
The song is If I Could Be You - DJ Dean. I chose it because I thought the lyrics suited the theme of making a change, helping others etc. I do not own the song or the lyrics.
No hate comments for Make-A-Wish, GKTW, any of the group members, or the music please. They will be removed.
AWESOME JOB!! I am very proud of you, thanks for sharing and helping.
