Mondo Monsoon at Kings Island's Soak City water park - fat guy ride testing
11As promised, I decided to get out and try some more amusement park rides from a big guy's perspective. I decided to revisit Kings Island's Soak City water park to try a few more rides that I missed the last time I was there. This is my experience with the tube slide Mondo Monsoon. (quick note: KI does not allow filming on water slides so the intro and outro to this video were filmed before I got my swimsuit on and then after I dried off and redressed for the day.)
If you have been following along on my channel, you will know that I am on a quest to lose weight so that I can enjoy one of my favorite things in the world...visiting amusement parks. I have been a lifelong lover of amusement parks, theme parks, fair rides, and especially roller coasters and thrill rides. But, as I've gotten older I put on quite a bit of weight and could not enjoy myself as I would like to.
This year, my family and I have decided to take a trip to Orlando, Florida to visit Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. In planning for the trip, I have discovered that I was too fat for a lot of the rides at Universal Studios. So, I took that realization as the kick in the pants that I needed to make some better choices and change myself for the better.
When I began my weight loss journey, I weighed 415 lbs. I have a goal to get myself under 300 pounds (and hopefully more) by October so that I can not ruin my family's vacation. As of this video, I have lost 76 lbs. and am down to 339. I still have a ways to go, but I am getting out of my fat guy comfort zone and starting to enjoy life more. Please come along and have fun with me as I continue on this journey.
