Holiday in the Park redux
I took Alanna and the Schmalzried's German cousin Annika to "the Park" today.
We rode Titan five times before moving on to other rides. The park was so empty we just kept getting on again and again ... I was dizzy by the end.
On the way to the Shockwave, we stopped in front of the mock-Alamo and I took this shot of the girls.
I couldn't pass up this beauty shot of the Tower while taking a bathroom break.
I rode the Shockwave once, and the girls rode it twice more.
For the first time, Alanna and I rode the new Superman ride, the 300+ foot air ride.
After that, we did Runaway Mountain and then the girls went back and rode Titan twice more. I was wiped out when we left around 4:15pm.

Holiday in the Park
I took Alanna, Alicia and Leo to the Park on Sunday. We got our 2005 Seasons passes so expect lots of visits to the Park this year. (For those not in the know, when I refer to "the Park" I mean Six Flags Over Texas).
We dragged Alicia around to all the rides that she'd never been on before -- some how despite being born in McKinney, she said she's never been to Six Flags. The coup d'etat came when she rode the Titan. We got in line and within fifteen minutes, a sensor tripped on the mid-course brake, stopping the ride. The ride ops closed the ride and most of the people in line bailed. We stuck around, and were rewarded when the ride reopened less than ten minutes later.
Alicia kept begging off the ride, but Alanna and I coaxed her into going on it. She was a trooper, even when it was at its most extreme, which is roughly from the top of the lift hill to the end.
