   Six Flags-ness
I am so tired...

I hit all the major rides early today, before lunch and a good hour after a breakfast of Pop-Tarts. Heh, I had no intention of losing anything on any rides.

So, I went on a little Poison Ivy (Batman villain, not the plant) roller coaster to get myself accustomed to the feelings associated with ridings rides again. It was fairly lame, so I went on the Batman: Dark Knight ride. It was in the upper reaches of coolness and g-force. I still needed something to help me adjust, so I went on something called the "Mind Eraser." Oosh...not the best ride...My head was tossed around like it was limp, despite my best efforts to keep it still, or at least, not moving in such a way as to develop a humongous headache.

So then iI went on Superman: Ride of Steel. One of the biggest and arguably best rides in the country, it was cool. As with most rides, there's an initially huge drop, but what's cool about this one is that you go underground, through a mist-filled tunnel. Spiffy.

So, after hitting every other roller coaster there, I went around to some of the minor rides, occasionally meeting people I knew. Although I failed to find the two people I wanted most, my nearly inseperable friends Tyler and Victoria. >.<

The entire park, unfortunately, has uneven ground. Lots of hills and stairs and such. My legs...are...exhausted. Heh.

Another ride of note: "Scream."

A 200 foot free fall. It was quite unlike any other rides I'd been on. They shoot you into the air with, I think, steam pressure. Then, provided the machine works the way I think it does, they release some of the steam so that the machine simply...drops. Then, nearing the bottom, the pressure builds up again, slowing you and bouncing you back up a couple times.

Bleh, I'm tired...
