Near the concession stand, we spotted something even more terrifying than the phantom.
“Ooh!” squealed Gramma with delight. “The salsa supershow is starting in five minutes!”
“Oh, joy,” I moaned. “No small boy should have to see an amusement park musical show. It’s child abuse!”
The director of the show was Hans Lotion and his grandson, Jurg—hey, wait a minute! His grandson, Jurgen, was nowhere to be found. That was pretty weird.
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,” said Hans. “Velcome to ze show. I hope you brought your boogie shoes because ve are going to tear ze roof off zis hizzy!”
The Big Hair Sugar Sisters came out hula hooping with shiny mirrored inner tubes to sing their opening number, “Undersea Salsa Shakedown”.
“Let’s get outta here before I get seasick,” said Grampa.
So we left Gramma to enjoy the show and headed over to the most terrifying ride ever….
