"Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas!"

Ever since I found out that Six Flags was potentially going to be on the selling block (which you can read about here), I figured I'd better post an entry about this great park before it gets torn down. So if you're ready, here we go!



Me: "Well, here it is folks...the mighty Titan. You know, it takes a mighty brave man to even think about riding this true marvel of physics and engineering."
Tour group: "Have you ever ridden this ride, Mr. Overall?"
Me: "Heck no."

Moving on...



To your right, we see the exciting Batman ride. Considering Batman didn't fly, the engineers had to come up with this from the ground up. I think they did a great job.



Here we see the Flashback. Apparently, you go forward through the ride, then go backwards through it. Can we say "Bleccch"? After 3 funnel cakes, I know I can.



Ahh, the Texas Giant. Some say it's the largest wooden coaster in the world. They might be right. Or they could be lying through their teeth. This time I'll give them the benefit of the doubt...this time.



Bundle up people, Mr. Freeze is on the loose! Actually, there's only like two weeks of the year where you actually have to bundle up to come to Six Flags (think December). This ride is similar to the Flashback, but here you start out at 70 mph. And yes, the faint of heart will be hatin' it the whole time.



We'll conclude the tour with a shot of the double loops of the Shockwave. For those of you with memories of the 1980's there was also a Transformer named Shockwave...a Decepticon if memory serves me. Maybe it's just me, but someone could sue someone for copyright infringement. Question is, which came first? A thinker...

Well, that's the wonder that is Six Flags...may all...(counting)...six of her flags fly high for many years to come!!
