Six Flags - Visit 3

Today was my third visit to 6 Flags this summer. My first visit was for Ian's birthday and while we were getting tickets, we saw it would be a pretty nice deal to get a Thrill Pass (like a season pass except ends earlier in the year than a season pass and doesn't have all the fancy extras) instead of just a one day pass. This would enable us to come back more this year and make sure we saw and experienced everything we wanted to at the park. I can't remember now when exactly the second visit was, but that visit was pretty awesome because the part was actually relatively deserted, which we thought was weird for a Saturday in July. Today was actually pretty deserted as well.

We went on Medusa, the Sky Screamer, V2, Boomerang, Scat-A-Bout, Bumper Cars and saw the Tiger show at the Temple of Odin. We tried to go on Roar, the wooden roller caster, but it was shut down when we first went over to it and had a long line the second time. I hadn't seen the tiger show since we went to 6 Flags on our one year anniversary, so it was fun to see again.

We learned from our first trip there a couple years ago, that if you plan on drinking anything while at the park, the best deal is to get the reusable souvenir cups. The day you buy it you can refill it over and over that day and then you can bring it back throughout that season and refill it for less than drinks at the park.

Also, you can actually set these to the side on the rides instead of being made to pay to rent a locker to put it in which they basically make you do for anything you have at most of the rides. I love seeing the animals while we are there, so we also went to a show at Odin's Temple of the Tiger, like I mentioned, and checked out the Dolphins and Sea Lions. I love the dolphins. They are so sweet looking. This one here, they said, is 50 years old. Checking out the Sea Lions was fun too, but it was a feeding station so you could pay to feed them. So the poor things just swam around staring at us waiting for us to throw them some fish.

We headed out around 2 PM after we felt like we had seen enough for the day. It tends to be a lot of sun. Then just a stop for eating and a little shopping, then back home to relax. Yet again I have managed to NOT get a sunburn. I hope this continues. I really hate them and it would suck to have a sunburn for the cruise. I'll take a tan though. That would be nice.
