Six Flags

After ResoNate bravely drove us through Chicago traffic for 110 minutes. We arrived at Six Flags Great America. We had our delicious breakfast at the picnic bench and entered the park. We were able to get first and last row on X Flight (back is definitely bumpier), 2nd row on Goliath (awesome but a bit jarring), 1st row on The Flash (only one extra turn and well worth it), Batman (last row), the Joker (first? Last? Row), and Superman (2nd row) before lunch of leftover Blaze pizza. Duncan didn't eat a piece of crust but a swarm of ants were quickly devouring it. Then into Hurricane Harbor for Tsunami Surge water coaster, Wipe Out, Lazy River, and Tornado. Bonus of warm showers - a luxury on the road!. Back to Bliss Bus and Duncan for Succotash Avocado and chips for dinner. On the last stretch in the park we rode Maxx Force (row 1), Viper (walk on to middle row), Giant drop (walk on through slot canyon walls), Chubasco (giant tea cups), Raging Bull (middle row), Justice League (not Sunshine's favorite but they have cool animatronic), X Flight (walk on 2nd row), Flash (1st row), Joker, and Gotham City Rail (1st row). Not bad for a summer day!Read more
