Every summer I go on adventures with my family and friends to have a fun time. Six Flags is my favorite place to, because it’s filled with fun and excitement. I get the season pass every summer to go when I want and as many times I want. The roller coasters, games, and food is what I like the most about Six Flags.

The first best thing I enjoy about Six Flags is their roller coasters. I remember the first time I went I was scared but thrilled to get on the rides. As I walked towards the black gates at the entrances, I knew I was going to have a good time. I could hear the rumble from the roller coasters and people screaming. Ever since that day I wanted to go everyday to get on all the rides, especially superman and the water rides I can still remember hearing the sound of the rides when I left the parking lot.

The second best thing I enjoy about Six Flags is their food. The first thing I always get is their leg or a funnel cake. I could smell all the food being cooked and served as I walked thru the food area. My mouth got watery with all the food as I waited in the long line to order mines. Then I spotted the frozen lemonade stand, it was really cold and tastes very sweet. It felt nice feeling the cold ice lemonade going down my throat especially with the hot temperature. They have many other different kinds of food such as nachos, burger, hot dogs, pizza, cotton candy, and hot dogs.

The third best thing I like about Six Flags is all their games. My favorite game is the shooting contest. I like playing that are against friends or family, I have always been competitive. My favorite games from Six Flags are the basketball 3 pointer shots and the pellet gun shooting to see who has the best aiming. Six Flags has a lot of games for kids and adults. All their games are fun and exciting, that’s why it’s my favorite theme park.

In conclusion, Six Flags has been a great adventure for me. It’s the best theme park that I have been to throughout my life. It’s a...

Once we got to Six flags we already had our season passes so we headed to the main ride that we wanted to go on, “The Superman.” There was no line there so we headed straight to the first cars. I sat next to Victoria. Paul was behind me and next to Jake. The first drop was 220 feet straight down. On the left side I was right next to the river, on other side Sam was facing the park. For about ten seconds we were all weightless. At the bottom of the drop we were going 75 miles per hour. It was the best roller coaster I have ever been on.

  • Six Flags Essay

    ...Summary Six Flags has had great success over a number of years through providing a one-stop entertainment destination complete with thrilling roller coaster rides and an exciting atmosphere. In recent years, however, Six Flags has been struggling and is now in dire need of a boost to help regain its success in the Theme park industry. We focused our secondary research on past and current articles on Six Flags as well as the theme park industry as a whole. Databases and websites were utilized in gathering this information. In addition, we delved into previously conducted research regarding the theme park industry and Six Flags. This further allowed us to gather exactly how Six Flags arrived at its success, and ultimately to its failure over the past few years. This is information that could have been obtained through interviewing Six Flags employees; however, we chose to proceed with the more efficient choice of secondary research. The biggest issue Six Flags faces is its huge debt of over $2 billion dollars. The firm is on the verge of bankruptcy and has been pulled from the NYSE due to their shares falling below the $1 requirement. The firm needs to pay $300 million dollars to preferred stockholders, and lacks the capital to do so. Another key issue they face is their narrow...

  • Essay on My First Trip to Six Flags

    ...My church was having a trip to Six Flags and I didn’t want to miss it. Since we are in Killen and Dallas is a 3hr drive we decided to leave early (I’m guessing that’s the reason why). I got to church sometime around 6:30- 6:45 and left sometime around 7:00. We talked, listened to music and slept like on any trip. And it wasn’t all that exciting till we actually got there. Since this was my first trip there, i was VERY excited and anxious to ride the roller coasters. So we got there and walked around and decided to ride the titan. The Titan was the craziest roller coaster of them all. Now when you’ve never been on a roller coaster, the one thing you don’t know is that, they are MUCH bigger then they look. Before I actually rode the Titan, I did not think we were going to be so high up. We just kept going up..... And up..... And up...... and up..... And up..... And in the back of my head I was thinking "WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP." Then it happened, luckily. I was in the third row and could see the drop. T.T I literally yelled: "Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!" Then it dropped, and I held on to the seat in front of me for dear life, and did not let go until the ride was over. The ride was beastly and I even felt lightheaded at one point due to the pressure being exerted on my head when the roller coaster started doing the twists. But all in all this ride was fun and should be ridden at least once if u ever go to Six Flags. Longer...
