Six Flags Great America

Today Freddy and I went to Six Flags Great America.  I have not been there in years. We got discounted tickets because it was Kohl's Friends and Family day.  Since, Freddy works at Kohl's we were able to go.

We had the best time.  The first ride we went on was the Whizzer.  It was a great beginner roller coaster for someone who has not been there in a long time.  We went on every roller coaster in the park.  They were all really fun.  My favorite roller coaster was the Raging Bull.  My least favorite was The American Eagle.  It really shook my head a lot I thought I was going to have whiplash.

The new ride, Goliath was awesome.  It looked really scary at first because of the 165' drop.  But the ride is about 30 seconds long and you are going about 85 mph.  It is really intense and amazing.  If you are going to Six Flags, it is totally worth going.  The line was the longest but worth every second.

Freddy and I also was suckered into buying some of the pictures taken on the rides.  We bought the one from Superman Ultimate Flight.  Freddy and I both had one hand out like superman so we had to buy it. Also we bought the one from Raging Bull.  We knew exactly when the camera was coming so we posed for the picture.  It turned out awesome so we will be putting it in out Christmas cards.  When we were done riding all the rides we went on the Sky Trek Tower to end our day at Six Flags.  We got a bunch of really nice picture of the park.

We could even see downtown Chicago from the top (circled in red).  We tried doing a panorama but they were not turning out.  After we were done with Six Flags we went to Gurnee Mills.  We even went to the Rainforest Cafe to get a bite to eat.  Everything was a little expensive so we just got an appetizer.

Today was a lot of fun and I can not wait until we do it again.  If you have been to Six Flags, what is your favorite roller coaster?  Write your answer in a comment below.
