Six Flags Magic Mountain

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 strap you into a harness type thing and you’re hooked on to a cord. It then takes you 150 feet up to the sky. 150 feet up and you’re laying on something no thicker than a blanket. The only way to come down is if someone pulls another cord that releases…

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…

I. Introduction: A. On October 30th, 2005, Houston, Texas lost its only major amusement park when Six Flags decided to close the gates to AstroWorld after operating since the summer of 1968. B. AstroWorld was once full of history and thrilling attractions, and although some of the rides have been taken elsewhere, it may soon be open for business under a new name. C. Now, unless you are a native Houstonian or visited Houston when AstroWorld was still up and running, then you probably weren’t…

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…

The Company’s more than 50-year history began in Texas in 1961 with their first park and continued with the building of two more unique parks. In 1977, they began acquiring other amusement parks, starting in New Jersey, and eventually coming to California (1979 and 1997), Massachusetts (1997), Canada (2001) and Mexico (1999). Though they had to…

Last summer visiting my family in California was such an exciting thing. I haven’t seen them in over two years, so it was such a great chance to have before going to college full time, and getting my first job. When visiting my family for a few weeks, my dad decided that we were going to Six Flags Magic Mountain for my birthday. I was too happy and thought that was the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. My sister, brother, and I had count down the weeks and days till it was the…

California has two amusement parks located relatively close to eachother. Knotts Berry Farm and Six Flags, which offer games, amusement rides, and great food. Sometimes it can be difficult to decide which park is best for your family, but not in this case. It’s very clear which park is better, but since you’re still weary i’m taking it upon myself to take an in depth look at both of them to tell you why Knotts Berry Farm is a total rip off compared to Six Flags. Let’s begin by comparing…
