Texas Day 5

This was the day we went to Six Flags Over Texas Amusement Park. We were all pretty excited, and some of us were a bit scared, because we hadn't ever gone on such big rollercoasters before. We got to the park at around 10:50, and were given time until 2:30 to go around and organize ourselves however we wanted. Alex, Sang Sun, Unai, Hector and I stuck together as a group.

We first went on the Conquistador Ship, a ship that swayed from one side to the other, reaching nearly vertical positions. Then, the Texas Giant, rated the best wooden rollercoaster in the United States. It was quite a big one, and an impressive second ride. It was much fun, though, and we all got rid of our fears. We even thought it was short! Next, we went to Runaway Mountain, a normal rollercoaster, except it's inside a mountain, so it's completely dark. It was cool, especially it's triple horizontal loop. We then went over to Batman, a rollercoaster in which your seat hands down below the rail, instead of going on top of it. It was very fast, and you could feel the tension in your skin from the speed. It also had four loops, and several vertical turnarounds. Just beside Batman was Flashback, which takes you up two loops and vertical turnaround, and then back through the same thing, but backwards! We were considering riding Superman, a free-fall-type rollercoaster, or Mr. Freeze, similar to Flashback but more extreme, but decided we better try The Titan first (since it's the biggest). Once we were in the queue, we started regretting going on it, because it was big, but after going through it, it was unforgettable. At certain parts it seemed as if we were going to go out of the rail and hit the posts. After that, we would have gone on Mr. Freeze and Superman, but it was 2:10, and we had to grab something to eat.


We were picked up and taken to the school. Since Tim had to go to work, his family took me for dinner at a BBQ Restaurant, where I tried several types of meat and sauces. We then went to a mall, because I wanted to see some laptops. We picked up Tim, and he and I stayed up playing PS2, talking, and listening to music.
