this evening i went to shipwreck with olive and it was the first time either of us have been there. shipwreck is a halloween event at the queen mary, much smaller scale than what goes on in the other amusement parks in southern california. i was really looking forward to this as the queen mary is a beautiful ship with its art deco decor. that's why i'm a bit sad they didn't fully utilize the setting. most of the mazes on the ship took place in the bowels, which may be scary, but it's damn hot in there and each maze then begins to feel the same. outside was a clown maze (super lame, you could see everything happening) and a vampire maze (line too long, didn't go through it). there was also food and dancing. that's about it. it would've been gorgeous if they had decorated one of the dining rooms on ship for dancing! imagine a bunch of people dressed like the 30s, like they are ghosts from that period. i guess that's the romantic vision i had of shipwreck. or maybe like shipwrecked ghosts? old sailors and such? maybe like a titanic thing going on? such potential i tell ya!
