Six Flags Great America
SF GROUP: Me, parents, cousin, friend, sister (5)
DAYS @ PARK: Two T.T
Hellomoto, I’m home.
I’m just recuperating a little.
Lemme talk about my trip. Six Flags was big and great. So great that I’m a bit upset that I’m back in Michigan. It has been nearly ten years the last time I been there. I feel like my trip was reaaaalllly unfinished. Not unfinished, but reaaaaaaaaally unfinished.
I still wanted to do more, because usually I go on the mild rides more, play games and watch shows. I go on thrill rides once in a while if I’m up to it. Even if I gather the courage to go on something like a coaster, I’d hate waiting in long lines.
Coaster enthusiasts have their own "crusades" and go across the country, spending hours and days at the parks just to ride coasters. That’s not me though, and I hate waiting in long lines. I’d like to ride and see as much as I can, but a couple of the lines really wasted the days.
Also, the group that I was with...a little hindering? They play a part in it too.
And, my sister and I are going to have to consider keeping our mouths shut around people when it comes to talking about out vacations.
I know it’s mean, but my sister would probably bring her so-called "boyfriend" along if you let her, and my ADULT friend was embarrassingly childish (even my mom was uncomfortable. She kept giving me weird faces XD I knew she was going to say "...I don’t like her." :/).
Because of her, I think I’m inspired to research personality/mental disorders as a profession. I’d be a psychiatrist if I were a lot more patient. But I was told, because I met such a person, I exert such quite a bit of patience already. My cousin, someone I brought along, even told me that I was "nice" [accepting her as a friend]. I guess?

Coasters/Paws’s Coaster Record
Max Speed: 185’
Max Speed: 70 mph
YAY! I did it. I WANTED THE RIDE THE RAGING BULL! THE BULL! ~_~;;;;; It was sexy-looking.
Anyways, five coasters in two days! NOT BAD! GO ME! I’m definitely getting braver.
- Batman the Ride: Yay, my 2nd ride on it. I rode it on the first day, and unexpectedly early too. I TOTALLY forgot how much that thing packed a punch. Where would I have gone to, if I didn’t have that shoulder harness when the ride abruptly hit the brakes? XD And I put my mom on that?! What was I thinking? XD
- Demon*: One of the oldest coasters; rode it on 1st day after the animal show? It was a looping coaster like "Corkscrew". Damn, it hurt. I liked it, but it hurt. Two loops I think? Double corkscrew? I really liked the caves. One loop went through a rock.
- Ragin Cajun: VERY FUN and silly. It’s a spinning/mouse coaster. Recommended; rode it on 2nd day. My friend and I went on it, and we brought our picture. I was sliding a little too much. It has a long line too x-x; Friend and I were cooking in the sun while waiting, BUT it was WORTH it.
- V2 (Vertical Velocity)*:
It's liek this ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrbNl2z2p10
The ride that broke the record for me. That thing is terrifying up close. Because of this, I didn’t want to go on Déjà vu. XD I needed a break from the 90-degree experience, and we were running out of time :( YAY V2! My first impulse coaster! Riding it was a shock, but I enjoyed it. I think I nearly peed myself in line? And it's no better watching that train going back and forth while waiting? Especially up close? Anyways, you’re propelled via electro-magnetic launcher I don’t like counting ~_~; "Ready for launch...5, 4, 3," And you go up these 90 degree pillars. One of them has a twist, but you need more speed to go up them completely. It was an odd feeling, but I lived XD Ooh, there's this one part of the ride where it keeps you stuck on one of the pillars for like one second before dropping you. You're looking straight down too.
Dad: "Where to next?"
Me/cousin: "Bathroom."
Dad: XD
- Superman ~ Ultimate Flight: The climatic ride on the 2nd day T.T. ~sniff~ That line WAS LONG! Like a 1.5 hour wait? >__<; Damn you, I wanted to go on the Bull. Anyways, the ride was short and unexpectedly SMOOTH; S:UF was an innovative flying coaster. You go on these seats that retract (ok…freaky o.o;) and you have your arms hanging down. Your body and ankles are locked into the seat; this girl I was next to rode it eight times in a row (with THAT line?!). It was nice, but I think that pretzel loop can kill someone x-X; A good reminder why I don’t like dips most of the time. I remember thinking, "I CAN’T BRETHHHHHEEEEEE!" Other than that it was fun. I got a picture; my sis and I look like freaks.
* I cursed on these rides XD So that tells you something.
.

I shouldn’t talk like this, but God..."
There was one bad part - Friend, cousin, sister and I went on the "Demon".
Friend was terrified and stayed back cause she didn’t want to wait in line "for an hour". When sister, cousin and I reached the train, my pops managed to get my friend through the line and she met us at the train. Hardly twenty minutes passed; Demon had a short line -_-; SOOO she’s going because she didn’t want to look like a chicken and my dad spent all that time getting her through the line.
LATER ON! She told me she was scared to go on it BECAUSE there was a mention of demons. Yeh she was scared of the ride like most of us new riders would like me, BUT it was initially because of the demons. You see there’s a narration that talks about demons, muttering stuff like "don’t look at the demon in the eye" while you’re waiting in line.
It’d be understandable if she were scared of the ride itself all alone, but demons? Made me a little angry cause its makes me feel very stupid. We were both feeling the same bumpy-dee-bump pain too. Knowing that I tried to soothe her; she snapped saying, "I don’t understand"; I snapped/cursed when she yelled at me. My head hit the harness too, many a time.
"I’m sensitive to pain." she says. I don’t know if I should sympathize or what. It’s WAY too much like babysitting, and the sister that even I can’t stand was acting more mature. Just a whiny ass. She’s going to contiune being the center of jokes, teasing and shunning. It’s a cruel world out there.
Any five-year-old, mind wise, would have the sense to stay back if he/she was scared to ride. You don’t want to push people on thrill rides, ever. I told her that no one would get upset. I often mentioned that I was scared, but this time I willed myself on some of the rides. It TOOK me a long time, but I did it. She willed herself on it, because she is still older. She can think she can go and she's considerate of her physical problems.
Problem is, you can't just say "go back please" and expect that person to get out of line like a reaaaal kid. Children can be structured. She, even older, tactless and naïve shouldn’t be an exception to that rule.
Then, "to prove herself", she decides to go on that big arse American Eagle coaster. No loops or anything, so she went. Came off, talking about "it’s lame".
"Lame" is rude you know. She keep calling a few rides "lame" and won't go on them. She even called the Demon "lame". Ha-HA! Apparently she calls them lame because she doesn't see the whole ride.
I could list all the things that "she’s scared of", "sensitive to" or whatever.
Motherfucking demons?! =+=;
Seriously, I want her to be a better person. Maybe I just don’t get it. It makes me dizzy. Fortunately, we got over it really quick (like after she rode the Eagle).
Both my friend and cousin said I had like the funniest scream.
I went on other rides
My sister and cousin went on the King's Chaos (aka: The Riptide?). Sis had like the funniest expression. Mom was probably gonna die of laughter. And the ride looked a little scary, plus we just got to the park so I wanted to go on mild rides.
Mom enjoyed the karaoke shows.
We went to the water park on the 2nd day. Yes I did say a while back that I don't like water and swimming, but it was okay. I dodged some of the jet streams and waterfalls, and made sure I didn't fall underneath the surface.
In the park, there was this playground thing. Err what was it, Skullisland? Don't remember, but it had a skull and it spat out a CRAP load of water on everyone. When it splashed down, you'd get hit by strong air and mist from a distance. Fun stuff XD
Had another small embarrasing "friend moment" but we won't talk about it. I'll say this though - she overthinks things.
