When you go to six flags you expect fun and let me tell you, that's exactly what we got. If you are near the park or someone even mentions it...DO IT! So fun! I guess the most theme parky I've ever gotten was at Worlds of Fun and that doesn't even compare. I will try to get through the day as best as I can recall....
X2 would be the first ride of the day. Oh side note: It was a hot day, but this could not deter from the fun that would be had. Alright, so the line is relatively long, but hey, it's a theme park. So, everyone is cool and excited...everyone except Janssen. As soon as standing in the line for the seats came up she looked like she was gonna vomit. Luckily for all, she didn't. This ride was incredible. I swear I had no freakin' sense of direction. It felt like I was just being thrown around like a little puppet and I loved it. As soon as the ride was over we were sitting there strapped in, just chillin...for thirty seconds...for a minute....then they start asking if we want to go again and what can you say to that? So of course I'm screaming "Wooo!" and "YEAH!" and Janssen is sitting there trying not to have a panic attack. A guy who works there comes around and I start asking him why we would have the honor of going again and he responds with that they can't get the straps to unlock, so Janssen asks if they would randomly open up on the ride and he casually responds with...they might. Now Janssen really wants off. Long story short, they didn't do the ride again, the seats opened and we all lived.
Every other ride was amazing, but I can't recall the order, so I'll just name some and a few thoughts about them.
The Riddler: We asked each other riddles and made friends with others in line. Apparently, this ride is the tallest and fastest stand-up coaster. Clearly, this makes it rock.
Batman The Ride: Besides this ride just being freakin' fun...there was NO line! I mean we literally just walked all the way up to the front and got on the next ride. How cool? Afterwards we did it again, except in the back. Yeah we did it from the front then the back.
Superman The Escape: Really fast and really fun. Even waiting for the ride wasn't bad, because they had us in a little cave and it was cool. Also, we pretended to superman on the railings.
Colossus: A wooden roller coaster that wasn't moving when we first got in line. Then they start telling people how they are taking one of the trains off the track and just running one so it'll be a few minutes. Everyone being in America and impatient at the thought that they would have to wait, well, they started to leave. This put our group at the front of the line without even trying. How awesome.
Deja Vu: This one was fun. Totally understandable why they call it Deja Vu with the whole foreward, backwards deal.
Goliath: Freakin tall, freakin' fun.
Scream: This coaster was titled correctly. We screamed. I believe it was on this ride that we learned a little trick to keep our flops from dying. You take them and loop them through the seatbelt. Very beneficial.
Tatsu: This one felt like you were flying. You literally did it on your stomach. Was so good we had to do it twice.
Terminator: This ride was hyped more than it should be. I guess it was fun, but just not my favorite. But, if you're in the park, why not?
Viper: Full of loops. That's really about it.
As far as the day as a whole, I'd say it was a success. We didn't eat once while we were at the park, which is amazing. Everytime we'd get hungry we'd bypass it with the fact that we would rather be on a ride. Here's a piece of advice for theme parks...go with people who you truly enjoy their company. Lines aren't that much of a hassle then. While in line, play twenty questions. It can really help expand how you think about things and the questions you ask. Not to brag or anything, but I was super quiet during one of the games and then finally asked a question that was the money question to help discover what it was :) Then, when it was my turn, I took a morbid track and had everyone stumped....I was trying to make them guess dead puppies. Alright, that's it for six flags...
