Six Flags

Last Saturday, Gaby and I went to Six Flags over Texas! It was SO much fun! Although, i've never been there when it wasn't a blast. The day we went was the first day of what they call fright fest. It goes to the end of October. Uhhh.....there were definitely some FREAKS there! Lots of people walking around like zombies and such scaring people! They would seriously get in your face...it was weird. Oh - and thanks to my lovely friend (no names), I got CHASED BY ONE!!!! AHHH!!! Anyway....other than that it was awesome!

One thing that was killer shocking is that the lines to the rides were SO short! I think the longest line we stood in was like 30 minutes. That may seem a long time to you..but, not at Six Flags. A few years ago when my brother and I went, we would stand in line for like 2 hours to ride something. We were so thankful the lines were short! We got to go on just about every ride there in 5ish hours. Actually..one of the rides (Mr. Freeze) we went on and loved it so much that we got RIGHT back on. Practically NO waiting in line. Oh, and that ride was freaky!! Our throats hurt from screaming!

Waiting in line for the NEW Texas SkyScreamer

Towering an astounding 400-feet above the ground, the Texas SkyScreamer will be the tallest swing ride in the world that only looks sweet and innocent. Once you are strapped into the open-air seat of this extreme swing ride, prepare for takeoff. The Texas SkyScreamer will start to slowly swing you around and around as it takes you all the way up to the very top of the tower where you’ll spin around and around just below a gigantic Texas Lone Star. Before you know it you’ll be going faster and faster, soaring in a 124-foot-wide circle with the wind blowing in your face at 35 mile per hour and your feet dangling in sheer terror 400-feet above Six Flags Over Texas.

Superman! Ok - was literally scared to death on this one. After all the years
i've been here, I finally got brave enough to do it. It was AWESOME!

Our BRAVE faces! :D

Haha...now this is a story.

Ok - so there are like 3 water rides at the park. This is one of them. And you seriously get SOAKED! Well it was hot so why not? It took alot of talking into for cough cough Gaby cough cough. But, because of the pal she is, she did it with me. haha

Going up

Texas Giant - going up. Frantically trying to put camera away RIGHT AWAY

About to drop!

So the Texas Giant. It is one of the main attractions at the park because it's awesome! This summer there was a woman who flew out of it and died. We wanted to see how that could possibly happen...didn't solve the mystery. 

The legendary new Texas Giant delivers beyond vertical banked turns and the world's steepest drop.  This new super hybrid boasts a state-of-the-art track of steel fabrication, with the steepest drop of any wooden coaster at 79°. The lift hill is 10 feet taller than the original Texas Giant.

The new ride also has a record-breaking bank of 95°, steeper than any other wooden coaster on the planet.

Here we are waiting to get off - that takes forever it seems like

Here are some of the other rides we went on.

Titan!
Over 255 feet tall exceeding 85 mph
120 foot underground tunnel
one spiral, camel-back hill and carousel curve
2.8 million pounds of steel used in supports (phew)

                                     

Batman!

End of a long and fun day!
