Ok, I'm back.
I'll give you a rough journal entry on what happened.
We left from our school at 1pm Sunday Afternoon, which was late, but we had to wait for churches, and we couldn't check into the rooms until 3pm. The bus ride up went pretty fast, I listened to some Def Leppard on my Zune and talked with some friends.
We eventually got there and threw our stuff in the rooms. Got our swimming gear on and went down to the indoor waterpark. It's pretty awesome. First thing I did was go on the Tanzania Twister. This thing was fun, but was over to quick. I then moved on to some doubles rides and chilled a little bit watching some other friends slide.
Then came arguably the funnest part of the trip. We all tried the surfing simulator which was incredibly fun. Biting it is probably one of the funnest things to do on it. It was a rush and I wish I lived near an ocean to actually surf, but I'm gonna bet this is a lot safer, and easier, and less californian.
We then went to go see a Hypnotist. I then experienced one of the weirdest moments of my life. The audience could try along, I didn't volunteer initially so I was in the audience. I could tell it was working. I was getting pretty bad, and I didn't wanna be. Everything was blurry, I couldn't hear much, so I decided to go lay down in the lobby. Huge mistake. The chaperones were all worried about me and thought I was sick/drunk/high w/e. I told them it was just a bad/unwanted reaction to hypnosis. I then sat by then and enjoyed the show.
We then went back to the hotel. Went down to the game room for a little bit and played some arcade games such as the shooters (damn I wanna buy House of the Dead 2) then decided to get a group of people together to see Harold and Kumar 2. Pretty funny, but could've been better. By this time it was midnight so we headed back to the rooms.
We went back and had a dispute about who's sleeping where. We had 4 to the room, and 2 beds and 1 couch. I had the couch so I didn't expect myself to share.
After some people came in our room to chat I finally feel asleep at 12 30, but was woken up by knocking at 1 30 and was up the rest of the night. We decided to go the room over and hang out on the balcony. If you saw it you would've laughed. 8 kids on a balcony that was decently small at 3 in the morning while it rained/lite snowed, wearning parts of the bed to stay warm. We then decided to find a room that had more awake people in it. We found one and hung out there for the next 2 hrs, listening to music and playing cards, I really didn't play cards but just chilled. It was probably one of the most chill moments ebar. This one girl in our class summed up why it was so awesome in this saying "The coolest thing about our class is how we're all different, but we get along so well" which was true as hell.
We then went to bed after dodging rent-a-cops and crashed untill 9 this morning. I woke up and found a little pastry shop and grabbed up 3 donuts and a milk. Went back up, scanned the newspaper for the draft results and then headed back to the arcaded to get ride of the single bills I had. After playing more gun games I went to get a air brushed tattoo which is awesome, but I wish it was a little lower, maybe in the future? Then got on the bus, listened to some comedy with a friend, and then got back in town about 40 min ago.
Oh yeah, we tried hooking up GH3, but the TVs there had the AV Source chips uninstalled so you can't plug stuff up to it, because late night gh would've been awesome.
EDIT - Most rides and attractions I mention can be found at the link in the OP
