Upon entering Frontierland, they had to stop to stare at the scenery. The scenery changed drastically from the streets enclosed by cream-colored adobe buildings to a street with wooden buildings towering onone sideof the wide street and none on another. Across the road was a lake and in the center was a large forested island. To the left, two tall structures stood tall in the faintly purple sky.
"I think those are the last two mountains in the park, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain." Midna said, pulling out a map and trying to look at it. She tore it in half before she got it open.
"Nice, you got beaten by a piece of paper." Shadow Link snorted, getting a rather dirty glance from Midna and Link.
"It is, so lets go ride them before we have to leave." Zelda said, looking at the map.
They were just starting to walk over the bridge when they heard a loud explosion.
"What was that?" Vaati asked. They turned to where they heard the sound; there was a mountain on the bridge, thorns as large as your hand on thick vines at the bottom of a waterfall. They caught the last second of a boat and echoes of screams. Suddenly, Link and Midna jumped away from the group. They had seen water coming down from where it had been shot out of the thorns and had escaped getting sprayed. Those on the bridge suddenly got wet, which of course made Midna and Link laugh.
"No! I just got dried!" Zelda whimpered, looking at her now damp dress.
"Stop crying Zelda, you said yourself we will have to head back after these rides." Ganondorf growled. The Princess gave him an angry look and walked off, missing another car come racing down the slope. They heard a similar sound and dove for cover, unknowing that the water only spewed out to the crowd watching at the base every third time.
After several disputes over rather silly things, including accidentally getting into the wrong line for Splash Mountain, they finally got through the thirty-minute wait and to the boarding dock.
"Big surprise, more boats." Ganondorf said, rolling his eyes. This time, they were decorated as logs, room for six. When they got in, Zelda and Vaati had to sit up front because they were shorter, Link and Shadow Link in the center, and Ganondorf and Midna in the back. With everyone now trying to sit as far away from each other, the boat floated off to the ride.
"This song has a pitch nearing the Small World song." Vaati groaned. They had already gone past several scenes featuring larger-then-life creatures talking and a fox trying to catch a rabbit. They had just gone down the second drop in the dark and entering a scene where a bunch of turtles and chipmunks were singing 'Everybody's got a laughing place!'
"If I have a laughing place, I am dead sure this is not it." Midna growled, staring all around her. They floated past the fox, he had just caught the rabbit, and were crawling up a slope, up ahead you could see a rosy sky get larger as they got closer to the opening.
"…But whatever you do, please don't throw me into that briar patch!" The rabbit suddenly exclaimed, it was tied in the most ridiculous fashion. As the group thought about what the rabbit said, they leveled out. In front of them, the white castle was reflecting the sunset in the background; it was a beautiful view of the whole park.
"Oh, how pretty…" Zelda started before the log started to tip downward and a steep slope into the briar patch they had seen before. Of course, they all started to scream as they catapulted down the steep slope, everyone except Zelda was enjoying the sudden plummet. They leveled out beneath the vine and thorns, drifting under the bridge and winding back into the mountain for a final singing sequence.
"Come on, I heard they take pictures." Midna said, pulling Zelda behind her. The rest of the group grudgingly followed her into a crowded room with odd glowing pictures that everyone was staring and pointing at.
"Look, that's us." the Twili pointed out a picture. They squeezed through the crowd and recognized themselves. It was a rather entertaining picture. In the front row, an utterly terrified Zelda had grabbed onto Vaati, who was both trying to hold on to a bar in front and to pry her off. Link and Shadow Link both had their hands in the air along with Midna, Ganondorf sat in the back holding on to the back of Shadow Link's seat and eyes practically out of their sockets.
"Lets buy it!" Zelda said gleefully, pushing her way towards a hassled worker with a notepad, jotting down numbers for other people.
After getting a copy of the picture, they traveled back up the stairs and turned left to Thunder Mountain. The line was reasonably short, but the winding through the long ropes still left up from when there were many people waiting in line was annoying. It took them fifteen minutes before they even reached the boarding docks, which featured an odd contraption instead of a boat. With so few people, for some reason or another, they were able to sit in individual seats on what one of the workers called a 'train'.
"Last ride, then we have to head off!" Zelda shouted before the train set off on a jerky start and the 'train' rolled quickly away.
"That as awesome!" Vaati said, ignoring the fact that all of his hair had been blown back until some of it stuck out in a straight line from his head. Zelda had a similar problem, she complained about it under her breath. The ride was fast and thrilling, with many turns and dips in the stone canyons.
"What in the name of Nayru is that?" Link asked, pointing. He had noticed music had suddenly changed and bright sparkly lights were appearing above the treetops.
"I don't know, but we are heading back to get ready for tomorrow. We are heading to Animal Kingdom in the morning." Zelda replied, stifling a yawn and walking off, leaving the others bedazzled by the pretty lights flaring above their heads.
