6 Flags was pretty cool. On Friday there were like no lines anywhere. My friend Jon and I went on SWAT a lot. The first three times it worked fine. The fourth time, we heard this 'snap' and Jon and I just sorta looked at each other and we were like "oh, crap". The ride then proceeded to stop upside-down for what seemed like 10 minutes. It was pretty funny, because everyone was dead silent except for Jon and I who were having discussions about the pneumatics and motors and stuff that were used to lift us up and spin us. The whole upside-down thing got kinda old after a few minutes, and we all dangled our feet below our heads because our faces were bright red. After we got down, we ran around forever trying to get all the blood out of our heads (or at least most of it). The red and green roller coaster (It's called Mind Eraser at the 6 Flags in Denver) was pretty cool, but I was disappointed with the Batman roller coaster. There was all this hype and then the ride was just marginal. But the rest of the park was fun.
