Six Flags

Flags is the largest amusement park company in the world, boasting more than 800 attractions and 120 roller coasters across 18 parks in North America. 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…

the black side bars. The tallest roller coaster in the world, Kingda Ka. It looked down on us above our miniscule heads. I was with my best friend Jimmy, who is the crazy side of me. He asked me if I wanted to come to Six Flags with me one day. Of course, I said yes because Six Flags is a lot of fun. Why would I decline? Little did I know that I wasn’t getting the full experience unless I went on the big rides. The biggest thing I went on previously was Batman and that wasn’t that big. It only…

Six Flags Nervous, and excited. That’s how I felt when I first went to Six Flags. I had the time of my life, but something unexpected happened. “Hurry up! We don’t have all day!” My dad was growing impatient with me. I was taking forever to get ready. But could he really blame me? I was so excited, I was ready to burst. We were going to Six Flags! When we arrived at Six Flags, I bolted out of my car faster than lightning. I wanted to ride the biggest and most dangerous roller coaster there.…

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…

Have you ever got to enjoy hot and ready breakfast in bed? Well, I have, on the day I got to go to Six Flags which to be exact was February the second, twenty-thirteen. Oh, the smell of apple wood honey bacon with two over-medium eggs with a hash brown intrigued with cheese and onions in the middle is the smell of breakfast at its finest. The morning was also a treat in itself with the view of the marvelous, enchanting sunrise and the bluebonnets that my family and I have planted in our backyard…

wanting to the get to a limited number of places, the minutes begin to add up. My focus only on the tick-tock echoing in my head. Each trip is a cost benefit analysis: each second waiting and the value of money versus in the moment and happiness. Six Flags — the ultimate math problem. The very first variable I run into is parking. There’s no close spots because everyone managed to get there the second the park opened. As I creep around the parking lot, at last appears a single parking spot that…

Normally I don't do anything on Labor Day weekend. I usually just stay at the house with my family, however; this Labor Day weekend I went to Six Flags for the first time in years with my best friend. After school Friday, we headed to Illinois. We stayed at a water park hotel? I'm not completely sure what it technically called. It was a tropical themed hotel. I liked all of the interesting signs and prints throughout the building. Although I did not enjoy the wax figure siting in a windowsill.…

Six Flags Last year I decided to go to Mozzeria for my deaf event, and this year I knew that I wanted to do something different. When I heard that Six Flags was devoting a day for the deaf, I marked my calendar because I figured it would be different than the typical restaurant scene. The only problem was that I didn’t want to go alone, and I knew that my mom and sister wouldn’t want to go. I asked Alex if he wanted to go with me and he said he would have to see, he texted me later and said…

often debate over the best place to visit, Six Flags or Great America. Great America is a 100-acre amusement park located in Santa Clara California. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is a 135-acre animal theme park located in Vallejo. Both parks have different environments, which means they attract two different groups of people. Six Flags is a better place because they have animals and better rides. Some people may say Great America has more rides but Six Flags has better quality rides and the…

friends. I love so much about the fall season. When the air gets cool and crisp, I just cannot help thinking about Halloween and all things frightening. My favorite place is Six Flags, it is a yearly necessity, for lasting memories, great food, and Fright Fest. As far back as I can remember, my family and I have been going to Six Flags. It used to be the perfect place for schools to hold their picnics. Me and my younger sister would wait all year for this. As soon as the school would send out…
