Chapter 690: My sister will take you flying
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing followed the flow of people through the security check and officially entered the Disneyland Paris park.
Then Li Qingqing couldn't wait to walk inside quickly.
"Hurry, Hu Lai, let's go to the Star Wars area to play the Star Wars Tower. This project is very popular. If you go slower, you will have to queue up..."
Hu Lai followed behind her, frowning.
Beside them, there were many tourists walking quickly towards the Star Wars area.
Obviously, Li Qingqing is right, this is indeed a popular project...
But Hu Lai didn't want to play at all.
Because he is afraid of those intense and exciting roller coaster rides.
Growing up, the most exciting "roller coaster" he had ever played was the elevated bicycle in People's Park in Dongchuan - a two-seater bicycle pedaled on an elevated track less than three meters above the ground. Walk slowly over the park and enjoy the park scenery. If you want to go faster, pedal harder. If you want to slow down and enjoy the scenery and enjoy the feeling of passing tourists over their heads, pedal slower.
The tourists below seem to be able to touch the bicycle just by raising their hands and placing their feet.
As for jumping machines, roller coasters, and pirate ships... he doesn't play any of them.
When passing by the famous Disney Castle, Hu Lai suddenly stopped and pointed at the castle and said: "Hey, Li Qingqing, why don't I take a photo for you here..."
Li Qingqing waved his hands in disgust: "What are you taking! What's so good about taking tourist photos? Besides, when we come out after playing, there will be plenty of time to take pictures here. Come on, Hu Lai, there will be a long queue if you get there late. It’s normal to wait in line for two hours! ”
Li Qingqing deliberately frightened Hu Lai, who had never been to Disneyland. When the latter heard that it would take such a long time to wait, he was overjoyed and slowed down a bit...
"Oh, Hu Lai, hurry up! Why are you so slow?"
"What are you doing in a hurry? If you go in a hurry, you can't enjoy the process. Slowness is better, and you can appreciate the scenery along the way..."
"What's so good about this?"
"I've never been here before. Every flower, grass, tree and tree here is all new to me!"
……
When they finally arrived at the project site, Hu Lai was filled with joy as he looked at the dark queue in front of him, but with a look of disappointment and regret on his face: "Oh... there are so many people, it looks like we have to queue for more than two hours." Why don’t we stop playing? If we wait for so long, will we still have time to play other projects?”
But Li Qingqing turned to the side with Hu Lai: "It doesn't matter, you can get a fast ticket. Come at the specified time and you will be admitted soon!"
Hu Lai:? ? ?
What about this kind of saucy operation?
He advised: "Isn't this bad? When people are waiting in line, we jump in line... and it makes people angry! We spend money to play before others, what do others think? 'Oh, you have money. Can people do whatever they want? Everyone is created equal, why do you have to enjoy privileges when playing in a playground? '"
"What? Fast tickets are free, and the seats are limited, first come first served. There are also time limits for collection and use. It doesn't mean that you can play immediately after you get it. You can only use it during the specified time period. , It can only help us save queuing time for one or two items. With the time saved, we can go to other items where there are not so many people queuing..." Li Qingqing explained to Hu Lai after receiving the express ticket at the machine. road.
At the same time, she showed Hu Lai the express ticket.
Sure enough, it said it could only be used between 9:30 and 10:00.
Hu Lai suddenly said: "Understood, master of time management!"
Li Qingqing glanced at him.
Then he walked to the Star Wars roller coaster next to him: "We can go ride this one now. There aren't many people here..."
But Hu Lai stood still and pointed to another project: "I see there are fewer people there, shall we go there?"
Li Qingqing looked in the direction of his finger: Buzz Lightyear.
She immediately didn't want to go: "That one isn't exciting enough...it's very boring. It's just for children."
Upon hearing this, Hu Lai became even more determined: "It's better not to be exciting... No, I mean I had a Buzz Lightyear toy when I was a child. It was one of the best memories of my childhood... so I want to play with this!"
Li Qingqing looked at him, and Hu Lai faced him bravely without any guilt.
"Okay." Li Qingqing finally nodded and agreed to Hu Lai's plan.
※※※
Li Qingqing sat in the carriage with the marquee flashing, looking boredly at the dark tunnel, while in her ears she could hear the excited screams of children in the two cars in the distance.
"Oh oh oh oh!!!"
“Ahhhhh——!”
"Hahahaha!"
Li Qingqing and Hu Lai looked at each other.
"Hu Lai, you didn't dare to ride a roller coaster, so you chose to play this, right?" she asked.
"How is that possible? I really... miss my childhood!" Hu Lai, who was sitting next to Li Qingqing, picked up a cartoon-like "gun" and fired.
Accompanied by the cute sound effects of BIUBIUBIU, the target beside the track flashed red,
"Ha! Look, I hit it!" Hu Lai turned around and showed off to Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing clapped his hands dullly: "Then you are great, Hu Lai."
※※※
After playing Buzz Lightyear, Li Qingqing and Hu Lai wandered around for a while. When the time came, they took the express ticket and went directly to the express ticket channel to queue up.
It is indeed faster to use express tickets than to queue directly, although it still takes ten to fifteen minutes to queue. But compared with those situations where you often have to queue for more than an hour and a half, it's much better.
After quickly queuing up and putting their belongings in the storage box, the two of them followed the other tourists and lined up to enter the project scene.
As they follow the team, the scenes next to them will continue to introduce the background to them and interact before the game, increasing the immersive feeling of the tourists.
However, these interactions are all in the local language. Naturally, French is used at Disneyland in Paris. If you don’t understand French, you won’t understand the content, and it’s just for fun.
Of course Li Qingqing understood French. She originally wanted to give Hu Lai a brief translation so as not to make him too bored.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai turned to look at her and said: "I can speak French."
He said this in exactly French.
"Ah?" Li Qingqing was surprised. "When will you?"
The two of them had only spoken Mandarin when they met for the past two days, and she had never seen Hu Lai speak French.
"We met earlier. Do you think I can only speak English? I told you that I am gifted in languages!" Hu Lai was very proud.
Li Qingqing's eyes widened. Although she couldn't believe it, the fact was right in front of her and she couldn't help but not believe it.
This made her very unhappy.
It took me a full year after I came to France to reach the point where I could barely hold a daily conversation. Two years later, immersed in this language environment, her French level has improved by leaps and bounds, and now she is relatively fluent. However, if she encounters someone with a dialect accent or speaks faster, she may not understand. I had to ask someone to slow down and repeat it again.
As a result, Hu Lai had just set foot on French soil, and he was able to understand and speak French.
It simply made Li Qingqing envious and jealous.
Even if this brat has great talent in football, he also has such great talent in language. It’s really annoying!
Suddenly there was a sound effect ahead.
Li Qingqing, who was pouting, looked up with a smile on his face - he was almost on the roller coaster.
Almost all the rides in Disneyland are in the form of roller coasters. Most of the roller coasters are inside the house, and combined with various sound and light methods, it becomes an adventure. However, some roller coasters have tracks, and some just lift you up. Dancing in the air.
And Li Qingqing clearly remembers that Hu Lai had to go to the less intense Buzz Lightyear...
So she glanced at Hu Lai, with a smile on her face.
Hu Lai, who also heard the sound effects, became nervous at the thought of riding a roller coaster.
At this moment, he felt Li Qingqing's gaze, looked over, and found that the latter was looking at him with a smile, so he asked with a straight face: "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, hehe!" Seeing this, Li Qingqing's inner guess became more and more solid - ha, I really didn't expect Hu Lai to be afraid of riding a roller coaster!
She finally won back a victory in front of Hu Lai!
※※※
"Hahaha, it's so fun!" Li Qingqing was still excited as he followed the tourists who had just finished the game off the roller coaster and walked out of the rides through the special exit channel.
Hu Lai, who was walking next to her, looked pale and his steps were sloppy, but he was still holding on.
Li Qingqing naturally noticed this. She pretended not to know anything and slapped Hu Lai on the shoulder hard: "Ha! It's fun... Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Lai, who was almost knocked to his knees by a slap, forced out a smile: "Nothing, nothing..."
"That's good! Come on, let's continue playing!" Li Qingqing clapped her hands and took the lead and ran out.
Hu Lai followed her with a depressed look on his face.
Isn’t it said that Disneyland is for children?
Why is it so exciting? !
※※※
Under a gray-brown high-rise building, Li Qingqing pointed and said: "Let's go play this!"
Hu Lai looked up and saw the "Hollywood Tower" sign hanging on the facade of the building.
"Adventure maze? Indoor haunted house?" Hu Lai was puzzled.
"Neither."
"What is that?"
"Jumping machine!" Li Qingqing said with a smile.
Hu Lai's expression gradually solidified.
Seeing this, Li Qingqing asked: "If you don't want to play, let's play somewhere else..."
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai shook his head: "I agreed to accompany you to play, and of course you are the main one."
Then he took the initiative to go to the queue for the jumping machine.
When he arrived, he turned around and found that Li Qingqing was still standing there, so he waved to her: "Come quickly, lest others think you are jumping in line!"
Li Qingqing smiled and agreed, then quickly caught up.
※※※
Hollywood Tower is a jumping machine project that focuses on a thrilling and terrifying atmosphere. It is different from the jumping machine in Happy Valley that directly takes you up from the ground and then suddenly comes down. It is covered with a layer of IP shell to create an atmosphere. People are more immersed in the scene, and this project is no longer just a simple jumping machine, it seems much taller - but essentially it is still a jumping machine...
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing were both tightly fixed in their seats. They were next to each other, and even turning their heads became inconvenient.
The seat - which is also a simulated elevator - rises slowly. Every time it goes up a floor, there will be a brief pause. The elevator door in front of the tourists will open, and then a little girl will come out and tell the tourists a ghost story in French.
For tourists who fly to Paris from all over the world, if they can't understand French, these tricks to increase the atmosphere will have little effect - as the only Disneyland in Europe, all European tourists will come here to play , but not everyone can understand French - many people are just nervous because of the upcoming "sudden drop", not because of the little girl's ghost stories.
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing both understand French, but their attention is not on it.
Li Qingqing's voice came from Hu Lai's left: "Hu Lai, I noticed that you were clenching your teeth just now when you were riding the roller coaster. In fact, you can try shouting out like me, you will find it very refreshing, and Not scary at all..."
Hu Lai snorted: "Who is afraid? Who is afraid? There is a reason why I don't open my mouth!"
"What's the reason?" Li Qingqing asked curiously.
"I'm afraid that if I open my mouth and burp, it will be so embarrassing!"
Li Qingqing was amused by Hu Lai: "Are you afraid of spitting it out?"
"Tsk! Disgusting!"
Just then the elevator seemed to have finally reached the top, and this time no little girl came out to tell ghost stories.
The sudden silence in the dark room made people feel nervous, as if the fall would come soon.
There were already unsuppressible screams from the seats next to me.
Hu Lai also felt that his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat...
At this moment, he felt a warm touch on his left hand - a hand touched him.
Hu Lai couldn't lower his head and could only catch a glimpse of Li Qingqing's hand spread out from the corner of his eye and placed it next to his.
The pink palms are upward, and the white fingers are slightly curved.
"Here, grab it."
Li Qingqing's voice came from the left.
She also ticked her fingers.
Hu Lai loosened his clenched fist, then covered it and held Li Qingqing's hand.
Feeling the warm touch from his palm, the sweat from his palm also rubbed against Li Qingqing's hand.
But Li Qingqing didn't take it seriously, but said in her voice like a silver bell: "Sister, I will take you flying!"
At this moment, a window suddenly opened in the darkness in front of them - the sky broke through, and the panoramic view of Disneyland Paris and the blue sky and white clouds came out.
Colorful buildings with different shapes, tourists walking and playing in the park, and the sounds they made all came in.
Appear in front of everyone.
Hu Lai and Li Qingqing looked at this scene from above and were both a little distracted.
"It's so beautiful..."
Before Li Qingqing could finish his emotion, his seat suddenly shook, and he felt a sense of weightlessness!
"Ah——!!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Screams echoed through the sky.
This caused the tourists below to look up one after another, with smiles on their faces and pointing.

PS, I have never been to Disneyland Paris. All details come from online travel notes and my own memories of taking my children to Tokyo Disneyland.
Again, I apologize for any mistakes.
As long as there are no particularly big mistakes in the design and plot logic, everyone can just treat the two parallel worlds as slightly different...
Finally, there are only a few days left in February, so I’d like to ask everyone for some monthly votes! (End of chapter)
