I’m here to tell you one very important thing: DO NOT go to Six Flags with your friends. That probably made me sound like the lamest person on Earth, but after you hear my reasoning, you will understand why. I’ve visited Six Flags many times. This past summer, I went with my two best friends. It was a blast… until about halfway through. We passed a ride called the “Dragon Wing.” It’s one of those sights that you can’t walk past without stopping to watch. On this gigantic death trap, some workers…
Some of the funnest things I’ve ever done were things I didn’t want to do. Things that used to scared me are things that I look forward to doing now. I’ve learned a lot of things just by going out and doing something out of my comfort zone. Some fun things are disguised as bad, so we decided not to do it because we may not like it. One of my most learning experiences was at Six Flags Great America. As we entered the gates to the park, everyone was excited, except for me. Because, I made a…
Instead of being at the mercy of the ride, people are able to have some degree of control. This allows a deeper impression to be made on the people that participate. Whether the park rider is attempting to beat a high score or race an opponent to the finish line, interactive rides change entertainment in amusement parks. One example of an interactive ride became known to me at a young age when our family went to Six Flags Great America. Not long after being inside the park, I found the bumper…
It has consumed my thoughts whenever I go to a fair or amusement park for a day that should be filled to the brim of thrill-intensive joy. This fear led to my ever-growing terror of heights as well. Whenever I look at a roller coaster, I’m filled with a terrible foreboding, and thoughts of the car departing from its tracks and taking an unforeseen trip of its own towards the hard concrete below flood my mind like a Japanese tsunami. I cringe when I come close to the end of the line to get on…

my sister, Linda, yelled out. I couldn’t put anything into words, my sister kept winning over and over again. I was so devastated, I wanted to win but I couldn’t. “Elvis, wake up and get ready,” my dad yelled at me. My head was spinning from waking up, I didn’t know why we were waking up so early. It was 7:30 AM, it was July 23, 2009. It was a sunny morning. I got out of my bed and started getting ready. “Hurry up, we are going to be late for the trip,” my dad told me. I was wondering what trip…
When I was younger on my twelfth birthday I had been given two options that I would receive as a present. My mother would either take me to Six Flags or she would buy me a mini motorcycle. This was a difficult decision because, although I never been to Six Flags I’ve always wanted a motorcycle. I had asked for a motorcycle the year before but, she said no because it was too dangerous. Still until this day I wonder why she allowed me to get one a year later. On the other hand Six Flags was…
Six flags more flags more fun. There are places called six flags all over the United States.It is an amusement park with a ton of rides and a waterpark. My family has been going to six flags for a very long time. I can't even remember my first time there. We used to go every summer, but we haven't gone in awhile. At my old school we would do these reading pages and if you read a certain amount of pages you got a ticket to six flags. Since my mom worked at the school she got either 1 or 2 free…
