The only problem with that is we are in the middle of those two carriages.

Adhan looks at me trying not to laugh. “Really, sweetheart?”

“Yeah, didn’t really think that one through,” I say, shaking my head.

“I think my ears are starting to bleed,” Alfred shouts.

I look to Sly and the others and they are happily seat dancing. Mind you, it might be a completely awful song, but it is dance worthy.

Suddenly there is blissful silence as someone makes those cherubs disappear. That silence is broken by a really loud scream of terror, making more than just me jump.

“Yeah that gets everyone,” Elliot says happily.

I give a start when our cart starts going up an incline.

“Well this is new,” Elliot says. “I’m glad I decided to join you.”

I turn and grin at him.

“Woah,” I heard Enoch shout.

I turn back and see him leaning over the side of the cart.

“The track’s falling away,” he shouts.

I see them look over the side of their cart as I look over ours, and yes as we incline upwards the track looks to be falling down, into the abyss. It looks dark down there and shimmery. Maybe that’s water.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who jumps as a pod of dolphins leap out of the water and over our carts.

“Wow.” I hear Emily say as the dolphins keep up their display.

Suddenly from behind we hear a yell. I turn round to look, as do Adhan, Elliot and Emily. A large tentacle has wrapped around their cart and seems to be shaking it from side to side.

“I love this bit,” Elliot says happily. “The dolphins were a nice touch though. I might have to keep them.”

I see a tentacle wrap around the middle of our cart and now we’re being shaken. Once the shaking stops it feels like we’re flying.

We fly through a doorway, and I turn back round to see what’s about to appear.

“We’re in space?” I say happily. “This ghost train is awesome, Elliot.”

“And there is still more to see,” he replies.

CHAPTER 39

It looks like we’re flying through hyperspace. Judging by the cheers from Xander and Enoch they are living out their Star Wars dream.

Spaceships fly all around them. Suddenly the spaceships turn and start firing on the carts, just as the shots looked like they would hit, they exploded and covered everyone in flowers.

“So that’s new,” Elliot said laughing.

I pick up a handful of flowers and throw them over Adhan. “Flower power,” I say grinning at him.

Adhan laughs and shakes his head at me.

We fly through the next door and now we’re back on the tracks, heading downwards towards the mouth of a giant snake.

The insides make me laugh, there seems to be a disco going on in here. There is strobe lighting, dancing skeletons and monsters. We get halfway through, and our cart starts spinning this way and that in time with the music. I start seat dancing, Adhan joining in.
