Six Flags Great Adventure



Yesterday, the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes attended Great Adventure. It was hot and sunny, a perfect day for this event. This was my second time going to Six Flags, so I was pretty excited about it. I normally don’t go on rides, because I have a weak stomach; this was not the case yesterday. I went on a ton of rides, and had a great time. My favorite ride, Medusa, was closed; I was very disappointed, but this did not last long.

While I was waiting for my friends to get off the new Batman ride, I was looking around and saw one that caught my eye. It was big, fast, and blue and yellow. I watched as the train filled with people started up the lift and began the path of the ride. The ride was called Batman, and I knew instantly I wanted to ride it. Batman was my favorite ride of the day. It was very fast and spun upside-down, and didn’t slow down once until the ride was over. When the day was over, I had been on that ride 3 times. The Ferris wheel was my first time being on one, so it was quite an experience. The wheel stopped when our car reached the top, and it was such a cool sight from up there, although I didn’t move a muscle, afraid I would fall.

A lot of people got fast passes, and were jumping lines for all the big rides, due to tons of people waiting for Kingda Ka, for example. A bunch of my friends were excited for the new Batman ride, but their reactions were not what I was expecting. They said it wasn’t as good as it should have been.
