The Best Day Ever

Author's Note: For my DWA I chose to write about a family trip to Six Flags Great America. I chose this because spending time with family is important to me.

It was a hot and sunny day. My family and I were on our way to Six Flags Great America. We were taking two cars; I was in the one with all my cousins and my aunts. On the way up we were jamming out to music, laughing, and having a good time. It was a long ride, you could tell my aunt’s were getting annoyed very easily. We were having such a good time that we didn’t even notice the two hour long drive. It felt like a thirty minute drive. I guess it’s true, when your having a good time; time flies by.

It was almost 9:50 a.m. when we arrived at the park. The park officially opened at 10:00 a.m. and everyone was so excited to be there and couldn’t wait to get on some rides. The other car pulled up next to us, they got out and we headed toward the entrance. As soon as we paid for the tickets and got in, we got a map and headed to the closest territory; which was the Southwest. Raging Bull -which by the way is one of my favorite rides- is in that part. We hit five rides by the time the clock struck 11:30. Usually we only get to two or three rides in that time. I could tell that it was going to be a good day, and we would get to a lot of rides.

As we were in line for the Raging Bull, we saw what I thought was really cool, a man was 221 feet in the air fixing the Giant Drop. He was just dangling there in a harness that I thought could break at any moment. Since the wait for the Bull was only fifteen minutes, I didn’t get to explore what had actually happened to the Giant Drop. After we hit the Raging Bull for the second time we headed to the food market to get some lunch. Everyone was so hungry, you could tell since our food was gone within ten minutes. As I looked at my phone to check the time, it said 1:30. I couldn’t wait to get on more rides and enjoy the cool breeze blowing against my face.

We started walking toward Superman, one of my favorite rides. As we approached the ride, I noticed something wrong with the it… the ride had been broken down, and the sign said RIDE BROKEN DOWN WILL BE BACK UP AND RUNNING IN 30 MINUTES. I was so angry that it was broken down, I should have guessed that it would have broken down at least once today; it is always breaking down. So we decided to head to a different roller coaster. The closest one to Superman was V2 also known as Vertical Velocity. After waiting in a huge line for about forty-five minutes, it was our turn to get on the ride. The ride is only about thirty seconds long, so we waited forty-five minutes for a thirty second long ride. That ride was pointless but the next ride we were going to hit was Batman, to me this is the coolest ride to wait in line for, because you go through an underground tunnel and you literally feel like you are Batman on your way to save someone. The ground even makes noises. Also there is a scene where there is a Police car that has crashed into a fire hydrant and there are bullet holes in the car, and it is like a investigation scene and then out of nowhere the rides goes right above the police. Three hours and ten minutes later, it was almost Six o’clock, since the park closes at Ten we had to get moving to more rides. X-FLIGHT is one of the new rides that came out this year, surprisingly there was only a fifteen minute wait. As we were in line we were getting situated. Mostly who was going to ride with who, and what wing were u going to ride on, the left or the right. We got everything in order just at the time where u get separated for the left or the right wing. We got comfy in our seats and we took off. I can honestly say that X-FLIGHT is now on my list for my favorite rides.

We got to ride a few more roller coaster but sadly it was time to leave after that. It was  time to go home and the ride home felt the exact same, except that everyone except my aunt was sleeping. Today to me felt like the time just flew by, well if you’re having a good time; time flies by.
