Fun times were had at Six Flags on Sunday—big surprise. It was my first Six Flags experience—ever. After buying tickets online for the children’s price, I hopped in a car with my roommates. We jumped right in with our first ride on Batman. The line was minuscule. Perfect weather (not too hot) made it a superb day. In fact, there were very few lines even for the most popular rides like Mr. Freeze. This is the one with a 90 degree vertical incline. It lasted about thirty seconds, but it was the most intense thirty seconds, especially considering the fact that it went from 0-70 mph in about four seconds.
Superman was the ride which I was the most scared. It was a straight drop. The worst part was not knowing when I was going to fall. I ended up really enjoying it, but it was quite intense. I actually really like the ride Evil Knievel despite the fact that it was a wooden roller coaster. My experiences with wooden roller coasters have left me wanting to go to a chiropractor. This as well as Screaming Eagle were well worth it.
One of the best parts was not having to pay a lot for food. We ate lunch before entering the park and then brought a snack bar. When we got hungry, we split a funnel cake. Good deal. Everything was so expensive. I couldn’t believe charging $9 for a bucket of cotton candy or $3 for a soda. Parking alone was $15 and locker rental was $9. Thus, spending as little as possible made it worth it. And the trip overall was worth it despite getting lost on the way home.
