Last night, C and I decided to go to Six Flags. We bought the tickets this morning and that was that: we were going to spend the day at an amusement park. I hadn’t done that since early college.
It was the perfect day. There was hardly a wait for any ride; in fact, I have never been on so many roller coaster rides in one day until now. There were multiple trips on our favorite rides, several refills on our soda, a large helping of nachos, and not a single sunburn on my Scottish skin (C got away sunburn free, too).
The best part? C and I overcoming our fear of super tall rides together. Case in point: Superman: Ride of Steel.
- Elevation: 205 feet (20 stories)
- Track Length: 5,400ft (over a mile!)
- Top speed: 74 mph
- Duration: 2 minutes 30 seconds
We went on it twice. And we kept our eyes open the entire time.
I loved every moment of today.


So jealous of your trip to Six Flags. I love Six Flags. Paul doesn’t like Roller Coasters.
Superman is one of my faaaaavorite rides. Six Flags bachelorette party??
(kidding!)
