Six Flags!

We were able to get a great deal on Season tickets to Six Flags that started during last years fright fest. (The season passes were the same price as a one day pass). They are good through this whole year as well, and include free parking. Another cool feature about our "gold passes" is that they let you bring a friend for free 5 different times. So today we brought Mom and Dad Roring with us. It was a light jacket, yet sunny kind of day.

Jack really enjoyed himself. Most of the rides were themed around his favorite vehicles: cars, busses, helicopters, trains, etc... He was truly in heaven. 

This is the car ride. You get to drive the car around the track. There is a pedal, so you pick the speed, and steer around the path. I think this was his favorite of all the rides. He kept running back to it at full speed, no matter where we were in the park, yelling "cars!"

This was the train ride. It takes you around a bunch of the rides, and we were the only ones riding it. (It was definitely not a crowded day)

And this was the smaller train ride. Very short and very slow. There was one part where I was pretty sure I could crawl faster then the train was going. 

 

And this was the hot air balloon ride that takes you up pretty high. As you can see, Jack liked looking down on all the rides (and especially the train) down below. 

And this is the park that Jack loved. If you notice the yellow slide on the far left: that was the slide he decided on. He's a brave little guy for sure. 

And this is the Looney Tunes Prop Warehouse. There are these little foam balls everywhere, and places that suck them up to to the top floor, so the bigger kids can shoot them back down. 

Jack quickly discovered that once it stopped sucking, he just had to push the button on the top to start it up again. 

He climbed up to the top floor and came down this slide. It was super super long. 

And his last ride of the day was on the "copters." This ride is cool because the kid decides when to make it go up and down. There is a lever that controls the height. There is also a fake steering wheel. 

And although we really only took pictures of the kiddie rides, do not fret. Us adults did go on the big kid rides. We took turns playing with Jack. Mom and Dad's favorite was the "ride of steel" that is a superman themed ride. It goes extremely high, and is a really smooth ride. My favorite stands as the batwing, that makes you fly like a bat. But we tried a new ride today called the Jinx that takes you from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. It was particularly awesome :)
