The "Material Girl" singer spared no expense when it came to her daughter's special day as the family had a wonderful time screaming their hearts out on thrilling rollercoasters.

However, the ridiculously tall ride proved to be a dire experience for the Queen of Pop, who could be heard screaming, "I can't take this anymore! I paid to be abused."

There were more hilarious moments of the singer crying as they tackled more exciting rides before the group was seen laughing at the photo taken during their log ride. 

This heartwarming video was captioned with several emojis, including a rollercoaster, blue heart, party, and laughing emoticons alongside the words:

"Magic Mountain with Mercy James for her B day! #sweet16 #insanity"

This fun outing came after the surprise party the doting mother threw for her daughter on Saturday, January 22, which the 63-year-old also shared on Instagram.

The "Evita" Star Enjoyed Spending The Holidays With Her Family

Last year, The Blast reported that Madonna's Thanksgiving was a family affair, which the Golden Globe winner proudly showcased on Instagram.

In the video, the "La Isla Bonita" singer was seen in the company of five of her beautiful children — son David and daughters Lourdes, Mercy, Estere, and Stella.

The matriarch wore a stunning black dress paired with boots and silver necklaces while her daughters flaunted their stylish side in chic gowns and matching black boots.

The happy family celebrated Thanksgiving by decorating cookies, riding scooters, and dancing. Madonna also joined in on the fun as she was captured dancing in the kitchen while David played the guitar.

The holiday seasons remained family-oriented for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alum as The Blast previously shared that the 63-year-old spent Christmas with her children.

Last December, the Queen of Pop marked the festive period with Williams, her boyfriend, and her kids dressing up as Santa little helpers. 

In addition to their adorable Elf costumes, the family also decorated a Christmas tree. However, according to the "Vogue" singer's caption, they poured too much snow. 

The Grammy winner also used this medium to remind fans of the importance of being open-minded and kind to others, especially in religion.

The blonde beauty implored her followers to embrace "all faith and rituals" that made them happy and prioritize giving over receiving.
