That tag line is rather misleading – should be more flags less fun. We decided to venture to Six Flags Over Texas yesterday and should have turned around before sitting for an hour on the highway to get off at the exit for Six Flags Road. The long wait times continued to be a theme for the day. Roughly an hour was spent in line to purchase tickets. Another twenty minutes to get through security. Each ride had a wait of at least an hour – some more than two. Every food pavilion had massive lines as well and it took us over an hour to get our terrible chili-cheese dogs. Did we mention the ‘ride lockers’ where you must pay a dollar to store your bag as you can’t bring it through the lines for the new rides?
We did manage to get on five rides though. The Judge Roy Scream was the first and also Molly’s first real roller coaster. You should have seen the expression on her face afterward…priceless! On to the parachutes next and then the mine train. After that we hit the Yosemite Sam ride and concluded the night with Tony Hawk’s Big Spin. I do believe Molly had fun despite the long lines. Ultimately though the experience was bad enough that it will seriously impact our decision on whether to go back or not which I suspect is the reason why the parks are in financial troubles.
