Six Flags Over Texas

My family and I spent the day at Six Flags over Texas. It is located just south of Dallas in Arlington. There are a lot of really cool rides, the kids and the parents had a great time, Remember when you were young though. Your parents were always the ones ready to leave and you always felt that you had missed something. That didn't happen today though. When we go to a theme park, Kim likes to get there early. We were able to start riding the most popular stuff very early. Kim won't ride the Roller Coasters, I don't do well with the spinning stuff, it works out. There was a ride simulating a bobsled run which was Kim's favorite, a cool back and forth coaster named the Shockwave. Nathan liked the Aquaman Splashdown, we got drenched. Lauren liked the Mine Train best, and my favorite was Mr. Freeze, 0-70 in 3 seconds. It went through loops, climbs and corkscrews, and then went through everything backwards.

Six Flags is a great family place. The weather was great, and Lauren was thrilled with the Supergirl cape and giant lollipop which was her souvenir...Too bad, that remnant of the lollipop are all over my foot. The only drawbacks were quite a few attractions were closed for maintenance(a couple of the coasters that Lauren could ride), parking was $15 and the new Tony Hawk ride is not fininshed yet. If you go, have fun and try the exclusive "pink thing", a sherbert pop on the way out. Nathan loved his.
