Speaker 2: Com or just click on the link in our show notes.
Speaker 3: Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Ay
Speaker 3: Lewis story. Almost three hundred and sixty five days had
Speaker 3: passed a long time for anyone to wait for something,
Speaker 3: especially if you were two very excited kids, And on
Speaker 3: top of that, the thing you were waiting for just
Speaker 3: happened to be the coolest, most amazing, most incredible roller
Speaker 3: coaster of the world had ever seen. Well, at least
Speaker 3: that's how Levi and Ivy felt. Every day since herying
Speaker 3: about the addition of a new roller coaster to their
Speaker 3: favorite amusement park. They had been counting down the days
Speaker 3: they figured out that it would be exactly one year
Speaker 3: until Lightning Bolt would be available for them to ride on.
Speaker 3: That's with no delays, no setbacks, and no crazy weather
Speaker 3: stopping construction. And lucky for them, not one thing got
Speaker 3: in the way of Lightning Bolt getting completed on time.
Speaker 3: The only thing left was getting their parents to take
Speaker 3: them to All Star Amusement Park, which wouldn't be a
Speaker 3: problem since their dad loved giant pretzels, exclaimed Levi and
Speaker 3: Ivy's dad, Did you say All Star Amusement Park is
Speaker 3: debuting a new giant pretzel with the opening of the
Speaker 3: Lightning roller coaster. The roller coaster is called Lightning Bolt,
Speaker 3: And yes, dad, they will be offering a new giant
Speaker 3: pretzel called the Lightning Storm, said Levi. It'll be covered
Speaker 3: in cheddar cheese dust, spicy red pepper flakes and garlic seasoning.
Speaker 3: And on the side lightning Storm dipping sauce. Oh wow,
Speaker 3: side their dad looking very hungry. All of a sudden,
Speaker 3: I heard no one even knows what's in the special
Speaker 3: dipping sauce, but it's so good that people just get
Speaker 3: cups of.
Speaker 1: It to drink.
Speaker 3: How did Ivy, oh man, I need to get one
Speaker 3: of those Lightning Storm pretzels, whispered Levi and Ivy's dad
Speaker 3: to himself, before saying out loud, do you two think
Speaker 3: you'd want to go to the amusement park tomorrow? And
Speaker 3: before he could even finish his sentence, Levi and Ivy
Speaker 3: knew their plan had worked, absolutely, Dad, they said together,
Speaker 3: before racing off to their playroom. I knew the new
Speaker 3: giant pretzel would work to get dad to take us
Speaker 3: to the amusement park tomorrow, said Ivy, giving her brother
Speaker 3: a high five. Now we just have to wait a
Speaker 3: little longer, and in no time we'll be sitting in
Speaker 3: the lead car on the coolest, most amazing, most incredible
Speaker 3: roller coaster the world has ever seen, exclaimed Levi while
Speaker 3: sitting on the couch, pretending he was on the roller
Speaker 3: coaster already. Ivy joined him, hopping onto the couch and
Speaker 3: throwing her hands in the air. They sat there, pretending
Speaker 3: they were flying around the coaster track for what seemed
Speaker 3: like an hour until their mom came in to tell them.
Speaker 1: To get ready for bed.
Speaker 3: I heard you got your dad to take you to
Speaker 3: the amusement park tomorrow, said Levin Ivy's mom with a
Speaker 3: little smirk.
Speaker 1: You told him all about a new giant pretzel. I heard.
Speaker 3: This wouldn't have anything to do with the new roller coaster,
Speaker 3: would it?
Speaker 1: The lightning Bug. It's called lightning Bolt.
Speaker 3: Exclaimed Levi and Ivy, laughing. Why can't anyone remember the name,
Speaker 3: asked Levi. It's lightning bolt, like a super fast flash
Speaker 3: of lightning in the middle of a crazy storm, unpredictable
Speaker 3: and full.
Speaker 1: Of energy, added Ivy, able to light at the sky
Speaker 1: with its amazing raw power.
Speaker 3: Wow, replied their mom, You too sound pretty excited for
Speaker 3: this new roller coaster.
Speaker 1: I hope it's everything you wanted.
Speaker 3: To be us two, whispered Levi and Ivy to each
Speaker 3: other with wide excited eyes as they went upstairs to
Speaker 3: get ready for bed. The next more he could not
Speaker 3: have arrived soon enough. Levi and Ivy hopped out of
Speaker 3: their bed before their mom and dad and felt it
Speaker 3: would be best if they woke them up, But after
Speaker 3: being told that they needed to wait until the sun
Speaker 3: was actually up before starting their day, they got dressed,
Speaker 3: ate some cereal, and patiently waited in the living room
Speaker 3: for their dad, and Lucky for Levi and Ivy, once
Speaker 3: their dad was awake, he couldn't go back to sleep
Speaker 3: because the thoughts of the new Lightning Storm Pretzel were
Speaker 3: flying around in his head, and when he thought of
Speaker 3: the special dipping sauce, he couldn't keep still anymore. He
Speaker 3: hopped out of bed too, got dressed, and headed downstairs,
Speaker 3: where he met up with Levi and Ivy. Come on,
Speaker 3: you do, let's get to All Star Amusement Park, said
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy's dad, with a big smile on his face. Awesome,
Speaker 3: but don't you want to have something for breakfast first,
Speaker 3: asked Ivy. No way, I've staving room for my Lightning
Speaker 3: Storm Pretzel. Of course, said her dad. Now let's go
Speaker 3: or that pretzel line. I mean, I mean your roller
Speaker 3: coaster line will be super long. Levi and Ivy passed
Speaker 3: the time and the driving to All Star Amusement Park
Speaker 3: talking about how many times they would ride Lightning Bolts
Speaker 3: and how cool the ride would be. Then before they
Speaker 3: knew it, they had arrived and were ready for a
Speaker 3: great day filled with thrilling roller coaster riding. However, they
Speaker 3: were all so excited about their big trip that none
Speaker 3: of them checked the weather, and when they got out
Speaker 3: of the car, it was hey, friends, what do you
Speaker 3: think was happening. Can you yell it?
Speaker 1: It was raining?
Speaker 3: Rain?
Speaker 1: What exclaimed Levi?
Speaker 3: You don't think they'll close Lightning Bolt because there's a storm,
Speaker 3: to you, asked Ivy, looking worried. I don't know, but
Speaker 3: wouldn't it be cool to ride this coaster in the rain,
Speaker 3: asked Levi, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Kiddos,
Speaker 3: that is a decision for the people.
Speaker 1: Running the ride.
Speaker 3: Safety first, and if the track being wet makes the
Speaker 3: ride unsafe, you'll have to ride it another time, said
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy's dad, trying to be encouraging. We can
Speaker 3: always go on some of the others until the storm passes, it,
Speaker 3: says on my phone. The rain should only last for
Speaker 3: a few more hours. Levi and Ivy were obviously upset
Speaker 3: because even having their new favorite ride closed for a
Speaker 3: few hours would throw off their whole plan of riding
Speaker 3: it over and over and over again all day long.
Speaker 3: They tried to stay positive as they walked through the
Speaker 3: amusement park entrance and toward Lightning Bolt.
Speaker 1: What they saw.
Speaker 3: Next was something they didn't expect, and they didn't quite
Speaker 3: know how to feel. Just behind the giant sign that
Speaker 3: read Lightning Bolt grand opening stood the roller coaster itself.
Speaker 3: It looked even more impressive than they could have ever imagined. Wow,
Speaker 3: it's so much better looking in person than in the
Speaker 3: pictures we saw online.
Speaker 1: Said Ivy in awe of the giant ride.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to get on it, added Levi, as
Speaker 3: they raced toward the ride line.
Speaker 1: Since it's not closed, let's get in line quick.
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy's dad followed behind them and unfortunately saw
Speaker 3: his kids big smiles turn into big frowns ride. As
Speaker 3: they approached the ride platform, a worker from the amusement
Speaker 3: park walked over and put up the temporarily closed sign. Sorry, everyone,
Speaker 3: we heard there's a lightning storm in the area and
Speaker 3: we have to close the ride until the storm passes,
Speaker 3: said the worker.
Speaker 1: And as he said that.
Speaker 3: A flash of lightning raced across the sky right behind
Speaker 3: the roller coaster. Wow, well, what are the chances that
Speaker 3: the first day that the Lightning Bolt is open there'd
Speaker 3: be a big lightning storm, asked Levi.
Speaker 1: I guess pretty good, said.
Speaker 3: A very disappointed Ivy. The amusement park worker then gave
Speaker 3: everyone a ticket that marked where they were in line
Speaker 3: and told them to come back. When the ride reopened
Speaker 3: for the day, Levi and Ivy reluctantly took their tickets
Speaker 3: and ran between the rain drops to a small tented
Speaker 3: area with their dad. How about we have a little
Speaker 3: snack while we wait for the storm to pass, he suggested,
Speaker 3: wanting at least one of them to get what they
Speaker 3: came to All Star Amusement Park for. Levi and Ivy
Speaker 3: happily waited while their dad got a giant lightning Storm
Speaker 3: pretzel with the special dipping sauce. He returned with a
Speaker 3: look of pure joy on his face. He had already
Speaker 3: taken a nibble of the giant pretzel and couldn't stop
Speaker 3: raving about it, and after he tried the dipping sauce,
Speaker 3: he was speechless. Do you kids want some, he asked,
Speaker 3: happy to share. No, thanks, I don't feel much like eating,
Speaker 3: replied Levi. I'm good too, but thanks, said Ivy. Okay,
Speaker 3: suit yourselves, but this is amazing best pretzel I've ever had,
Speaker 3: said their dad. Levi and Ivy both yawned as their
Speaker 3: dad went on and on about the flavor, the texture,
Speaker 3: and overall awesomeness of the giant pretzel. Then, after all
Speaker 3: the excitement of riding Lightning Bolt had faded because of
Speaker 3: the storm. Along with them both waking up super early
Speaker 3: that morning, Levi and Ivy were very tired. They decided
Speaker 3: to take a little nap while they waited for the
Speaker 3: roller coaster to reopen. I bet when we wake up,
Speaker 3: the storm will be all over. Then we'll feel refreshed
Speaker 3: and ready to ride Lightning Bolt for the rest of
Speaker 3: the day. Yond, Levi, You're totally right. Great idea, beyond,
Speaker 3: Ivy back to her brother. Before they both laid their
Speaker 3: heads down on the table in front of them and
Speaker 3: fell asleep. It felt like only a few seconds had passed.
Speaker 3: When they both woke up, the sky was full of
Speaker 3: sunshine and they couldn't wait to jump back in line
Speaker 3: to ride Lightning Bolt. However, when they looked for their
Speaker 3: ride tickets, they were nowhere to be found. They searched
Speaker 3: around frantically until Ivy looked around and topped Levi on
Speaker 3: the shoulder. Hey, hey, Levi, there's no one here, I
Speaker 3: said Ivy, sounding a bit confused. When Levi looked up,
Speaker 3: he discovered his sister was telling the truth. The only
Speaker 3: other person they saw was the ride operator for the
Speaker 3: Lightning Bolt roller coaster, so they ran over to the ride.
Speaker 1: Ready to hop on.
Speaker 3: Hi there, Welcome to Lightning Bull, the coolest, most amazing,
Speaker 3: most incredible roller coaster the world has ever seen, said
Speaker 3: the right operator as he opened the small gate to
Speaker 3: the ride platform and asked Leevin Ivy to step forward.
Speaker 3: We've been waiting for you, waiting for us, asked Levi.
Speaker 3: And who's we asked Ivy. You're the only other person here.
Speaker 3: The only other person here. Yes, but not the only
Speaker 3: other thing.
Speaker 1: Said the ride operator.
Speaker 3: Just look, and as he motioned to the roller coaster platform,
Speaker 3: a shiny new roller coaster car rolled toward them.
Speaker 1: But this was no ordinary roller coaster car.
Speaker 3: It was Lightning Bul that's right, I mean a lightning
Speaker 3: bul that talked and moved. The roller coaster car was alive.
Speaker 3: Hi there, said the Lightning Bolt roller coaster car. My
Speaker 3: name is Lenny, so happy to finally have you here,
Speaker 3: Levin Ivy.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to take you on my new ride.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely amazing. You'll just love it.
Speaker 3: Then the giant Lightning Bolt roller coaster car asked Levi
Speaker 3: and Ivy to hop in, buckle up, and get ready
Speaker 3: for the ride of their lives. Levi and Ivy couldn't
Speaker 3: pass up this amazing opportunity and jumped at the chance
Speaker 3: to finally ride the new roller coaster, even though it
Speaker 3: was a bit of a different experience than they thought
Speaker 3: it would have been. Did you see anything in the
Speaker 3: ride ups about this ride that it was animated and talked,
Speaker 3: asked Levi to Ivy.
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything about any of this, said Ivy,
Speaker 1: but it sure is cool. How are you both doing,
Speaker 1: asked Lenny. Are we ready to go?
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy didn't waste even a second and quickly
Speaker 3: let Lenny know they were good to go by shouting
Speaker 3: out and excited.
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, can you say it with me?
Speaker 3: Yes? The ride operator made sure their lap bars and
Speaker 3: seatbelts were fast and securely, then walked.
Speaker 1: Over to the panel.
Speaker 3: On the count of three, you two will be the
Speaker 3: first kids to ride this roller coaster.
Speaker 1: Isn't that cool? Said the right operator?
Speaker 3: And since you're Lightning Bolt's biggest fans, we know you're
Speaker 3: the right ones to take the test spin. We're so excited,
Speaker 3: shouted Ivy before fully hearing what the rider operator said.
Speaker 3: Well wait, wait a minute, said Levi. Did excuse me?
Speaker 3: Excuse me, did you say test spin? Like we're the
Speaker 3: first people ever to ride this roller coaster.
Speaker 1: You've got it.
Speaker 3: Now, have a great time, and here we go, shouted
Speaker 3: the right operator over the roar of the roller coaster,
Speaker 3: wrapping up one, two, three, and just like that, Levi
Speaker 3: and Ivy were off, zooming toward a giant incline that
Speaker 3: would take them up to the highest point on the
Speaker 3: roller coaster. They climbed up the steep hill, rattling along
Speaker 3: the tracks beneath them for what seems like a really
Speaker 3: long time, until they heard Lenny say, are you too
Speaker 3: ready for a big drop?
Speaker 1: You're gonna love it.
Speaker 3: I guess we have to be ready, said Levi to Ivy.
Speaker 3: Here hold my hand. I know this will be amazing.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy we get to do this together. Me too,
Speaker 3: replied Ivy, now getting more and more excited. Here we go,
Speaker 3: called out Lenny as it started to make its.
Speaker 1: Way over the top of the giant hill.
Speaker 3: At this point, Levi and Ivy were looking straight down
Speaker 3: at the ground when in an instant, Lenny took off.
Speaker 3: But the roller coaster car didn't go where you think
Speaker 3: it would go. You see, instead of racing down the
Speaker 3: track in front of them. The roller coaster raced forward,
Speaker 3: leaving the roller coaster all together and flying through the sky.
Speaker 3: It took Levi and Ivy a few seconds to realize
Speaker 3: what was happening, but when they did, they couldn't believe
Speaker 3: their eyes and they didn't want the ride to end.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I didn't.
Speaker 3: Read anything about this happening during the ride, shotted Levi
Speaker 3: over the loud roar of wind screamed past them as
Speaker 3: they zoomed through the sky. It feels like we're a
Speaker 3: real lightning bull, called out Ivy, A true force of nature,
Speaker 3: not just an amusement park ride. That's because we are
Speaker 3: called back Lenny, well sort of.
Speaker 1: Anyways. I'm still a roller coaster car, but I'm.
Speaker 3: Moving just like a real lightning bolt, you know, unpredictable
Speaker 3: and full of energy. Ivy remember describing the roller coaster
Speaker 3: ride just like that to her mom, and she was
Speaker 3: so glad she was right, because this ride was unlike
Speaker 3: anything either her or Levi had ever experienced. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy raised their arms in the air and
Speaker 1: enjoyed every.
Speaker 3: Twist, turned dip loof, and fast acceleration as Lenny flew
Speaker 3: around the sky, lighting up the world below. As they went,
Speaker 3: the blazingly bright light washed out the sky before them,
Speaker 3: making Levi and Ivy feel.
Speaker 1: Like they were flying into a dream world.
Speaker 3: Then the light would fade and they would find themselves
Speaker 3: zooming past clouds as they raced through the sky above
Speaker 3: All Star Amusement Park. Sorry to say, friends, but we're
Speaker 3: coming to the end of our ride, announced Lenny, much
Speaker 3: to Levi and Ivy's disappointment.
Speaker 1: Oh no, can.
Speaker 3: We go around one more time? Please, called out the kids.
Speaker 3: Sorry to say, we can't, replied Lenny, as the roller
Speaker 3: coaster made its way back toward the ride platform. You
Speaker 3: too will be waking up soon and need to jump
Speaker 3: back in line to ride the roller coaster for real
Speaker 3: this time. Wake up right, ride for real?
Speaker 1: Said Levi. What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Called out Ivy as they came to a sudden stop
Speaker 3: at the ride platform. Once they were back, the ride
Speaker 3: operator lifted their safety bars and asked them to hop out.
Speaker 1: Don't look so sad.
Speaker 3: I'll see you soon, called out Lenny, and before they
Speaker 3: both knew it, Levi and Ivy heard their dad's voice,
Speaker 3: Hey kiddos, babies, the rain stopped. Grab your tickets and
Speaker 3: head back to the roller coaster, said Levin Ivy's dad,
Speaker 3: sitting in front of two empty giant pretzel bags.
Speaker 1: What I got hungry again while you were sleeping?
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy looked at each other, both with the
Speaker 3: same questions running through their heads. However, they didn't have
Speaker 3: any time to waste and would talk about it later. Then,
Speaker 3: without wasting any more time, they grabbed their ride tickets
Speaker 3: and ran back to Lightning Bowl. There, the ride operator
Speaker 3: looked at their tickets and happily loaded them in the
Speaker 3: front car. Hi. There, Welcome to Lightning Bolt, the coolest,
Speaker 3: most amazing, most incredible rollercoaster the world has ever seen,
Speaker 3: said the right operator as he opened the small gate
Speaker 3: to the ride platform and asked Levi and Ivy to
Speaker 3: step forward. We've been waiting for you, waiting for us,
Speaker 3: said Levi and Ivy with white eyes. Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 3: just something I say to make the experience a little
Speaker 3: more special, said the right operator with a little giggle.
Speaker 1: I haven't actually been wondering where you are or anything
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Get your seatbelts on and I hope you have a
Speaker 3: great ride. Oh okay, said Levi. Looking at Ivy, and
Speaker 3: as they hopped in the front car, they looked at
Speaker 3: it very closely. It wasn't moving, it wasn't talking, and
Speaker 3: it looked very attached to the.
Speaker 1: Roller coaster tracks.
Speaker 3: Was that all a dream? Whispered Ivy to Levi as
Speaker 3: they put on their seatbelts. It must have been, replied Levi.
Speaker 1: Okay, you too.
Speaker 3: This is Lightning Bolt's testpin, so we're gonna go around twice.
Speaker 3: Does that sound good, asked the right operator. Testpin, exclaimed
Speaker 3: Levi and Ivy together.
Speaker 1: Yep, you're gonna love it. I just know it.
Speaker 3: Now, let's make sure your lap bars are tight. They
Speaker 3: look good, said the right operator, and just before he
Speaker 3: walked over to the control panel to start the Lightning
Speaker 3: Bolt's roller coaster's first ride in All Star Amusement Park,
Speaker 3: Levi noticed his name Tad. His eyes got wide and
Speaker 3: he pointed it out to Ivy, who had the same
Speaker 3: reaction as her brother.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, said Levi, what's your name? Why?
Speaker 3: It's Lenny, of course, said the right operator, with a
Speaker 3: smile and a glimmer in his eye. Have fun, by
Speaker 3: an Ivy, and with a quick countdown of three, off
Speaker 3: they flew on the roller coaster ride.
