Double Rainbow

    EDIT
Another public event in Perth has been added to the Australian
tour, plus contact details for the South Perth Library event,
and more details about the second Adelaide event-

check three posts down for information. 
For those who have asked, the Brisbane event on the morning
of the 13th IS a public event. A few schools are coming along,
but it's still open to the public also- even though it's on at 11 AM
on a weekday...
EDIT: Also, the Southampton and Dulwich events have been
switched for the UK tour. The change has been made to the below
post...

We're having a pretty awful summer here in Ireland, but
sometimes you can find little moments of prettiness in amongst
all the dreary drabness.Like this double rainbow outside my
house...


I liked that double rainbow. It was a nice double rainbow. But I
didn't like it nearly as much as this guy liked HIS double rainbow...

I'M 167! I AM TOO FLIPPING YOUNG!

Sparky Braginski said...

*muttering*

And after that the track flattens out and then...

The double loop-de-loop! The first one being the conventional up-down kind, but I mixed it up for the second out, with a twirling track.

Around and round, upside-down!

I hope you're happy.

Sparky Braginski said...

Now, the g-force should protect them from falling out at this point, but I wish I'd reminded them to fasten the seat belts...

Oh, this is my favourite bit!

The track is flat, upside down, and then it goes into a vertical drop...

And then onto a ramp, where the track vanishes and the goes through a flaming ring!

I hope it works!

Noelle said...

I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I'M AN ELDER.DEAL!!!!!!! :p
WE ARE GOING TO DIE. DAMMIT, SPARKY.

Sparky Braginski said...

To finish off, the car goes through one last loop, then through the volcano, getting sprayed by water all the way through, then speeds through two 90 degree turns and dead stops where you started.

Anonymous said...

Still being ignored... I'll just leave now.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

90 DEGREE TURNS?!?!

*CLINGS ON TO ADRA FOR DEAR LIFE*

Noelle said...

Cain, you better have not survived this scratch less. I'll be PISSED if you did.

Sparky Braginski said...

You know, you wouldn't have come out of the car if you'd done your seat belt up.

Anonymous said...

Dude, I stopped it and brought it back twice. Hell if I'm not leaving. Bye!

Sparky Braginski said...

And, Miss had her seatbelt on.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*cart stops*

*stays in cart cuz i put the seatbelt REALLY tight*

Noelle said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I had my fn seatbelt on.
IT DIDN'T HELP! IT. FN. BROKE!!!!!
Please... call for help.

Sparky Braginski said...

See?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

exactly

*jumps out of the cart*

you ok Adra??

Sparky Braginski said...

Well you obviously didn't.

Noelle said...

i DID!!!!
and NO!
MY LEG AND WRIST ARE BROKEN!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im no healer, whats the number for the Blogland doctor?

or do we have to go to Nye?

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh, by the way, I'm not being held responsible for any injuries you get on the roller coaster, because I injury proofed it.

Only people breaking the rules, like having their arms out of the cart could've gotten hurt.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

number?

or Nye?

Noelle said...

I put them back in....
And Nye?
Yugh.
*dies*
*kicked out of Hell*
*body heals itself*
All good....

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*shrugs*

saves my credit on my phone
and Adra is alive

Noelle said...

Call Derek.
I need to speak with him.

Sparky Braginski said...

Did you like it?

Noelle said...

Hahah of course I'm alive...

It's take a LOT to kill me.

And once you do, it takes a LOT to keep me that way.

Noelle said...

Can I have another go?
*gasp*
DO YOU HAVE OTHER RIDES???

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Sparky... it was... uh.... very.... interesting, yeah, interesting...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

YES!! DO YOU HAVE OTHER RIDES??

Noelle said...

*flails*
PEDO BEAR!!!!
I hit meh head.

Sparky Braginski said...

Not yet...

I'm debating whether to get a log ride, with the water and stuff, or a ferris wheel.

What do you think?

Noelle said...

uh.... Both

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

both!!

the ferries wheel to see the WHOLE of Blogland and the log ride cuz its cool!!

Noelle said...

this should be a blog page...
Blogland Park...
Hahaaha.
VIRTURAL RIDES.
LOL
and when Derek blogspeaks... we can show him :P

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hell yeah!

Sparky Braginski said...

It's my little project...

I think ferris wheel...

I'll be back...

Oh, this is going to be huge, by the way.

You'll be able to see all of Blogland.

I'll even get Alfie to draw a map of what I think it'll look like.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

YAY!!!!

ok Sparky!

Noelle said...

Sparky.... YES!!!!!
There should be a SP ride. Like, you're "fighting" faceless ones throughout the ride

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

alright

im gonna go for a bit

but i WILL be back later

bye!!

Noelle said...

bye Cain!!!

Noelle said...

*jumps up on couch*
ARE YOU MY MUMMY????

Sparky Braginski said...

*working out dimensions*

Not a ferris wheel... Exactly...

*has built a giant triangular ferris 'wheel'*

You should be able to see the city on the other side of the lake from that...

Oh, and it doesn't turn. The glass (completely glass, very thick, perfectly safe, plenty of air) boxes are attached to a conveyer belt that turns around the triangle, guaranteeing a stop at the top, therefore giving the best view.

Noelle said...

*facepalm*
what a lovely architect you are :D
OOH
OOH!!!!
I KNOW!!!
I KNOW!!!
Can you... Make... a DROP ZONE THING!!!
*when it takes you, really high, thee's a click, and then everyone falls, but it slows before hitting the ground*

Sparky Braginski said...

I was planning on making that next, actually.

Nixion Strange said...

Tuh

Sparky Braginski said...

Hey, Nix!

Noelle said...

Awesome sauce... IN A CAN!!!
NIX! *hugs*

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh, oh, by the way, thanks for the rock.

Nixion Strange said...

No problemo

Sparky Braginski said...

Would anyone care to ride the ferris wheel?

Noelle said...

Yes. I would.
*follows Sparks*

Sparky Braginski said...

*opens the door to one of the ground level boxes*

Nixion?

Noelle said...

Come on, Nix!!!!! IT BE FUN!!!
*if you read Cain and I earlier :P*

Nixion Strange said...

Uh, I don't like heights...

Sparky Braginski said...

Fair enough.

You won't like the roller coaster then.

Dark, care to sit? It doesn't move fast, but you may get disorientated...

Noelle said...

*runs up behind Nix, tackles him into the Ferris Triangle*

*doors shut*

SPARKY! NOW!!!

Noelle said...

VAL!
*pulls her in also*

Noelle said...

Wait... I WEAR I just saw a Val comment... *is confused*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't even know what I've just been pulled into...

Nixion Strange said...

... I will kill you

Noelle said...

No you won't.
*sits down*
It's a ride at the blogland Park... look at the beginning of the page, and just read down...
it was fun
It's a Ferris Triangle, by the way.

Sparky Braginski said...

*shuts door*

Uh, sorry...

*thinks*

That's right you can't hear me in there...

*walks over to microphone*

*speaking into it*

Welcome to the Blogland Park Triangular Ferris Wheel. The ride is ten minutes. No flash photography but photography is allowed. Please enjoy the beautiful view of Winter (I'm Australian it's the season I say it is) Blogland. Have fun.

*starts ride*

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, what's the blogland council?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

If there's a Blogland council, I'm going to be angry...

Noelle said...

Something we began. Council of all of Blogland.
Derek is Grand Mage...
We'll have nominees for the Elders...
I'm running in AMERICA

Noelle said...

Oh right. Sorry. *hugs both*
*hands Skul cakes*

Nixion Strange said...

So am I Val
So what, some people are meant to be more important then others. What we have right now is equality. A council will change that

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

No. No no no. I refuse to having a Blogland council. That's NOT FAIR.

Noelle said...

True... That had crossed my mind.

Nixion Strange said...

*others?

Sparky Braginski said...

*taps the microphone*

You are one quarter of the way through the ride...

If you look to your left you'll see the snow laden forest...

Nixion Strange said...

*looks at floor*
I'ma not lookin' up

Noelle said...

Look, it was just an idea. Not like it's going to really happen.

Noelle said...

The floor is glass, Nix :P

Nixion Strange said...

*closes eyes*

Noelle said...

And besides, I know that the others may or my not give in...
But maybe... Maybe it could be a "Blogland council" like i nthe fourth book.
Just a Grand Mage.
Derek.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't even agree with the Blogland awards. They make me want to throw things at the wall violently and break things. But a council? That makes me FURIOUS.

Sparky Braginski said...

To your right is the lake...

Nearly at the top, folks...

Noelle said...

Val. Breathe.
And I agree with the Blogland Awards. Speaking from experience here, some of the new people aren't nominated, even though they have as much "potential" as other people.
Some are nominated like, 13 times.
And tons aren't even recognized.
THAT pisses me off...

Zathract Mist said...

*walks in and grins up at everyone in the Ferris Triangle-Thing*

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, can we not talk about the council? Thank you

Noelle said...

*takes really really really deep breath*
right. Sorry.
hey Mist!!!*hugs*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*falls off the Ferris Triangle*


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Nixion Strange said...

The awards is for a select group, no matter what they planned. They planned it to be for everyone, but it's just for the friends...

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, no more talking

Nixion Strange said...

*opens eye*

*starts to shake*

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Dark...Uh...aren't you some hundred metres above me right now...?

Noelle said...

Agreed.
VAL!
NOOOOOO!!!
*jumps after her*
oh. DAMMIT!!!
*reaches out for something*

HELP! I'M FALLING AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!

Noelle said...

uh.... no. more like 95....83....74

Nixion Strange said...

*curls up into a ball*
At least the glass isn't cracking. That's going alright Sparky

Sparky Braginski said...

Excuse me, giant glass box.

Can't fall out, genius.

Val.

You're lying on the glass, flailing.

Heya Zathy.

Sparky Braginski said...

Yeah, you missed the summit.

Could've seen the city over the lake.

Zathract Mist said...

*grins up at Nix and laughs*

Nixion Strange said...

His Mist
I forgot to say hi
I guess I'm to bussy having a heart attack

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*glass cracks*

Noelle said...

Dude. I broke the glass.
*sorry Nix*
AHHHHH HOW THE HELL AM I STILL FALLING!!!
*zaps back to the top*
*falls again*
*grumble grumble*

Zathract Mist said...

*isn't sure whether to laugh or shake head at the use of 'Zathy'*

*decides to laugh*

Noelle said...

*falls, and grabs the cart that she jumped out of.*
OWWWWW!!!
*claws at floor, trying to pull herself in*

Nixion Strange said...

*thinks*
*nods*
*starts punching Dark*

Sparky Braginski said...

Excuse, me, that glass is non-shatter.

And six inches thick.

I made it Val-proof, for exactly this reason.

You'll all perfectly safe.

Annnnd...

On the ground.

*opens door, letting Nix out*

Noelle said...

NIX. WHAT THE HELL!!!!
*falls on grass*
*pushes at air, pushing Nix back into the cart.*
*doors close*

Nixion Strange said...

*runs out, gasping*
*stops to punch Sparky*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

You made it "Val-proof"? *laughs and pretends I wasn't just running into the glass walls*

Sparky Braginski said...

*presses the emergency stop button*

Okay, stop.

Nix, ow. Sorry.

Dark, behave.

Val, STOP FLAILING.

Nixion Strange said...

*kicks Dark*

Noelle said...

*pouts*
he PUNCHED ME THOUGH

Noelle said...

JERK *punches Nix in the stomach, and steps on his knee*
xP

Noelle said...

heehee!!!
*runs away with all of Nix's SP books*
take that

Nixion Strange said...

*breaks Dark's arm, then bends her leg until it cracks*
I'ma bone breaker. Close combat will always be mine

Sparky Braginski said...

*picks up the scuffle and puts it away from the theme park*

I'm going to keep building now...

*puts safety wall between fight and theme park*

I'm watching you...

Anyone who cares to NOT FIGHT can help me...

Nixion Strange said...

It was self defense
I'm kinda an engeneer, if that helps

Noelle said...

F***!!!!
*opens a portal in Nix's chest, and rips out his heart*
I can do that.
*beats him with a bat*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

What if I want to help? *laughs evilly as I pull out a chainsaw*

Noelle said...

*turns around*
Val, which group were you talking to?

Sparky Braginski said...

No Val, No Dark, No Nix, seeing as I can tell you're about to keep fighting.

Zathract Mist said...

I'll be back soon.

Nixion Strange said...

*grabs bat, uses it to pull myself up close to Dark*
*taps her head, exploding her skull*

Sparky Braginski said...

*shrugs and starts building scaffold that's 100 storeys high*

(speaking with nails in mouth)

Oh, Nix, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my entry, just on quality... If it's allows and not too much trouble.

I was merely wondering why I stink...

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, the stunk thing Sparky. That's why you stink. Your entry was awesome

Noelle said...

Oh Hell.
GAH. I HATE YOU!!!
*dies*
*get resurrected*
*healed*
*as always*
*picks up Nix and pushes him through a metal stake in the ground.
*kneels next to him*
Nix got beat up by a girlll Nix got beat up by a girlllllll. HAHAHA

Noelle said...

MINE!
*runs for dedication*

Noelle said...

MINE

Noelle said...

Noelle said...

Sparky Braginski said...

OOOOOOHHH!!!!

I get it!!!

K, thanks!

*is putting railing against the scaffold*

Nixion Strange said...

*gets healed*
*explodes Dark's head again*
*throws the pieces of her body in a blender, and pour in into the ocean*
You cannot get healed from that

Noelle said...

I'd like to dedicate this page to killing people repeatedly.
Because they won't just STAY DEAD!
DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS????
And Derek!

*goes over and feels Nix's pulse*

Ahhhh... I'm no Doctor, mainly because I dont have a sonic, but I think hes dead

Noelle said...

Nevermind then.

*soul floats into back-up body*

BEAT THAT!!!

*throws Nix into the sun*

Nixion Strange said...

You're one to talk about not staying dead. You somehow got healed from not having a head?!

Noelle said...

oh yeah.

*raises glass* hear hear!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Enough

Noelle said...

yeah. your body heals when you get kicked out of Heaven.
Or Hell.
In which I have done both.

Noelle said...

WHAT THE HELL

Noelle said...

Vile, you can agree with me!!!
You never stayed dead...
*hugs*
*hands Skul cake*
*runs away, frightened*

Sparky Braginski said...

Nix, ya twit.

Nixion Strange said...

That's what I thought

Noelle said...

nix...?

Noelle said...

*everything clicks*
NIXION STRANGE.
GET OVER HERE!!!!
*drags him over to her, and punches him in the face*
YOU SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...

I would not reccomend doing that

Noelle said...

...*falls to floor, rocking*
that was so fn scary....
*begins crying uncontrollably*

Noelle said...

TOO FUCKING LATE!
*stabs Nix*
Oops! *covers mouth*

*CURSES*

*Loling irl*

Nixion Strange said...

*shadows tear apart Dark*
Nix isn't here right now...

Sparky Braginski said...

Nix, you're a twit.

Noelle said...

*rearranges herself*
HAH! YOU MISSED!
Ah...
*hugs Lord Vile*
I'M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN! I"M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN!!! AIEEEEE!!!! I LOVE YOU LORD VILEEEEEEEE I WANA BE JUST LIKE YOU WHEN A GROW UP!!! *fangirls*

*haha sorry, I'm having so much fun right now. Livin in the moment :P*

Nixion Strange said...

*armour grows shadow spikes, piercing Dark*

Sparky Braginski said...

You're stupid.

Noelle said...

OHMYGOD! I JUST GOT STABBED BY LORD VILE!!! I WON'T EVER WASH THESE WOUNDS AGAIN!!!
*holds out tee shirt*

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Kal!

Sparky Braginski said...

I do Kal!

Noelle said...

KALLISTAAAA!!! *hugs* *hands Skul Cake*
I pissed off Lord Vile...
HEY NIX IS BACK :P

Nixion Strange said...

I'm not happy Dark

Sparky Braginski said...

Hey, Kal, would you like to ride my roller coaster?

Noelle said...

Exactly. Pissed. That's what I said.

Haha. Sparks.

Noelle said...

Oh. I'm doing THIS AGAIN!!!
*hops in cart*
*drags in Nix*
*drags in Val*
*drags in anyone else*

Nixion Strange said...

*punches Dark in head*
*gets out*
I am not happy

Noelle said...

Aw hell....
Why aren't you happy?
Is it because I stole your SP books earlier?

Nixion Strange said...

Because you tried to kill me!

Sparky Braginski said...

Okay, here's the run...

First, the car goes up a steep vertical ramp, sits for a moment at the top, then speeds down a vertical drop and into a cave. A proper cave. Dark an stuff. After the cave you come out and the track tilts sideways and goes into an upward corkscrew. It flattens out above the corkscrew and goes into a loop. There’s a second loop, where the track twists around. It stops with the track upside down, then another vertical drop, onto a ramp, where the car runs off the track, through a flaming ring and onto the track again. It the goes through the base of a volcano, spraying the riders with water, then two 90- degree turns into a dead stop.

Perfectly safe, I assure you.

*steps into the control room and speaks into the microphone*

Welcome to the Blogland Park roller coaster. Make sure you keep your hands inside the car you're riding in at all times, your seatbelt is fastened, and you can hold onto each other for dear life if you so wish.

Have fun!

*presses the start button*

Noelle said...

*pulls Nix in at the last moment*
Hey.
You tried to kill me.
we're even.
*laughs*

Noelle said...

*puts hands out cart*

Nixion Strange said...

No, I was just fighting. You were killing

Sparky Braginski said...

Remember what happened last time Dark?

You're bout to hit the first drop.

Nixion Strange said...

I happen to get pissed when people try and kill me. It's a habit of mine

Noelle said...

oh. right. yeah. about thattttt...
Well you broke my arm and leg, and hang on..
I took out your heart.
who ever said that taking out someone's heart would kill them?
Indiana Jones would agree, it doesn't kill you...
But THEN you killed MEEEE. So....

*screams as rolled coaster goes down*

Noelle said...

*pulls hands in at the last moment*
*tightens seat belt*

Sparky Braginski said...

The cave is coming.

The super dark cave...

Nixion Strange said...

You kicked me in the stomach and stood on my knee!

Noelle said...

YAHHHH!
WOOHOOO!!
DARKNESSSSSSSSSSSS
Nix, you're not screaming.
Or even terrified. For that matter.
What the hell.

Noelle said...

YEAH!
AND YOU EXPLODED MY FACE!

Sparky Braginski said...

And the corkscrew...

Nixion Strange said...

AFTER YOU RIPPED MY HEART OUT, AND STARTED TO BEAT ME WITH A BAT!

Nixion Strange said...

*folds arms, hardly realising I'm on a rollercoster*

Noelle said...

YEAH!!! YOU STARTED IT THOUGH!!!
YOU PUNCHED ME!
THE KICKED ME!
FOR NO REASON!

Noelle said...

Oh Nix. *laughs* we all know you're screaming.
*turns in seat to look at him*
*takes his hat, assuming he has one*
*sticks it out the cart*
I will drop it, so help me God

Nixion Strange said...

I don't have a hat, I'm not screaming, and I punched and kicked you because you dragged me onto the feris wheel, then tried top do it again

Sparky Braginski said...

*sighs and presses emergency stop button*

I have to go.

No use of rides with me not here.

Bye.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hello! What did I miss out on???

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Sparky!
