6 Flags



Two of my co-wokers and I hit up Six Flags: Great Adventure on Friday.
Due to the rain, the lines weren't horrendous.

Rolling Thunder, Scream Machine, Bizzaro, and Skull Mountain were conquered. My little Chinese companion wasn't having any roller coaster action so we rode the carousel and a kiddie train ride that zips around a small track so she could join in the fun. As should be everyone's Six Flags custom, we rode the Ferris Wheel at night whilst the Glow in the Dark Parade was in full swing.



Ate some awful, overpriced fries and Onion Rings at Johnny Rockets and indulged in some delightful Dippin' Dots at one of the very many stands selling said fare.

I managed to drive all the way there sans tolls by heading through the Holland Tunnel and taking Rt. 9 all the way passed Freehold. On the way back we took the Turnpike and paid the $3 toll. Didn't shorten the ride very much despite the pungent scent of refineries comingling with wet grass--ah New Jersey!
