Fantasy Football Amusement Park


Welcome to the 2014 Fantasy Football Amusement Park Preview! I am your tour guide, Robert “DaMan” Yan, and I’d like to give you a sneak preview of what we have in store for your enjoyment this season at the amusement park, opening Thursday with an epic clash between the Packers and the Seahawks!

 

Our main attraction this season is the Triple QB cannon, where you can get fired out of a cannon by any of the top guns of Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, or Aaron Rodgers. There’s a lot of interest for this ride though, and everyone’s clamoring to get onto this ride, so we commend that if you don’t want to spend too much time (or spend to high of a draft pick), go to the Trampoline Terrace where the almost-as potent- QB’s Tony Romo, Tom Brady, and Matthew Stafford wait and can be a great experience especially on select matchup and weather-friendly Sundays.

 

On a cool day, who doesn’t want to go down the lazy river? Dependable, non-threatening, and relaxing, it’s pretty reliable to get on the Jimmy Graham bandwagon and let it roll. There are no other water rides (or good TEs) at the amusement park, so if you like water rides and reliability at the TE position, hop on the Jimmy Graham express.

 

Down for reconstruction last year but opening up again are the Arian Foster and Doug Martin rides. Explosive and thrilling, these rides can be just as satisfying as the other premium rides on the park like the Beastquake or the Shady Shalom (LeSean McCoy), so make sure to consider giving them a whirl if they’re free.

 

The Antonio Gates ride (a wooden coaster from the way-back machine) is unfortunately being retired after this season, but all the more reason to enjoy in its last season! Nostalgic parkgoers can take solace in the fact Gates still has some juice left in those wheels, and you’ll still get some TDs (G’s) regardless.

 

If you like a bumping bruising, and generally knocking people around, look no further than the Shonn Greene and Chris Ivory Bumper Cars, which stake much of their value on being able to bowl people over. Not recommended for those with an affinity for aerial delights (PPR leagues).

Speaking of air, you’ll get plenty of it with Michael Floyd and DeAndre Hopkins, some of our newest but more unheralded up-and-coming rides. We anticipate them getting plenty of attention as the season moves along and parkgoers understand how fast and athletic these rides are, despite ride operators (quarterbacks) who aren’t the most trustworthy of hired hands (Carson Palmer, Ryan Fitzpatrick- for now)

 

Finally, if there’s one treat you want to get before you leave the park as a supplement to the great experience you had with everything else, let it be the cotton candy that is Danny Woodhead. Small but nimble, the Woodhead flavor of running and sneaking and darting through your taste buds will leave you with great memories, even if the candy gets dropped on the ground after a while (injury risk).

We here at the Fantasy Football Amusement Park 2014 hope you have a great experience here at the park in 2014 and hope these rides will actually work out for you (as opposed to yesteryear when they didn’t really and I lost a lot of legitimacy!)

Fantasize on,
