Not necessarily Disney. This would be a great ride at Wapsi Square’s very own theme park, Raging Daughters (for which, alas, some of the design photos have gone missing in the 5+ years since we did the planning.)
In the SF novel Boundary (first of a series I’ve been reading for over a decade), they use a similar method to get supplies from orbit down to the Martian surface, after their lander crashes.
May have been less over-the-top, butt where would the fun have been in that?
What? Back at the top with your stomach? Bah, we’ll collect that on the way out
THe always unflappable Luci. Meets a sphinx in full “terrorize the interloper” mode, fangirls and hugs it.
Finds out (for the first time, I think) that her new friend who she’s technically supposed to be mentoring is a human-plant hybrid, criticizes her method of descending a cliff face.
All while taking the library portal system in stride.
Hollywood and Vine.
Lower her down?
Sure, bit what fun is that?
Repelling is fun, though.
Really? I feel “Repelling” is well-named.
I find it odd that activities traditional used to postpone horrible death are now being called a “sport.”
FYI that’s rApelling.
And yes it is fun.
AFTER you get over the sheer terror of the first few times.
I tried it. Once. I am the only person I know that managed to paint the whole tower, top to bottom, with pee.
@Fatuncle
I suppose that’s marginally better than painting only the bottom with red…
Only marginally better?
It seems to me that it’d be CONSIDERABLY better 🙄
Indeed this was more fun
Castela became a personal bungee ball, suspending Luci inside. Do you also suspect Luci might ask to do that again?
[Baby Sinclair] AGAIN!! [/BS]

Come on, Luci, do you realize how much Disney would charge for a theme park ride like that?

Lemme look through some old drives. I think I’ve still got it somewhurrs…

Looks like they got eaten by Photobucket paywall. They can still be seen directly on the Photobucket site, but yuck it’s messy.
hahahahahahahahahahaha oh Pickle…
We are Groot.
We are Groot.
More like “We… ARGH… root…”
The last panel made me think “Super Dave” Osborne.
Would the landing have been more comfortable for Luci with-
Saskatchewan Sealskin Bindings™? 8D
See?, I told you, I told you- TumbelyWeed for the Win!
We knew she had Blackthorn in her genetic heritage. Nobody said anything about her being part rubber tree on her great-uncle Goodrich’s dude.
No, I think the bouncy vine ball is somewhat straight out of one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
But blackthorns have…..thorns. That must have hurt.

It’s in the Baen Free Library:

its essentially how we have dropped stuff onto mars IRL. Grant.
Orrrr…..
That’s how Soujounier and Pathfinder landed on Marz.
Inside a bouncy ball of balloons.
I bet Castela can give the absolute *best* hugs.
There would be no square centimeter left unhugged.

I see why Luci was selected to mentor Pickle.
Yeah. Outside she looks like a wee nerd but in fact she is a superhard cookie you break your teeth on.
IS it possible that bonding turns her on??
Let’s be honest: Paul’s been looking for an excuse to do this since the end of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie! ^_^
Orrrr…..

I suppose, but that’s not nearly as similar as that movie scene to this comic. I’m happy with my answer.
– “Would it have been possible to lower me down?”
– “We are Groot.”
I thought of that too…
Reminds me of the ‘airball’ cushion the landed Sojourner on MARS with; BOUNCE! BOUNCE! BOUNCE! 😉
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
Well, if you can get untangled from the crash-web, yeah you can walk away.
Been a years since we saw Castela not in her human form (or mostly-human form).
