Six Flag Park Magic Mountain

Wonder if any of you guys out there played this game before?

Used to play this games while I was still in high school.. maybe in secondary 2 or 3.. where we need to attend a theme park, or an empty land and turn it into a wacky roller coaster theme park with objectives to achive in a certain amount of time or certain amount of budget..

like this...

or this...

In Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, the roller coaster design/ideas came from Six Flags Park. Or something like that.. I forgot.. At first I dint know that Six Flag Parks are REAL roller coaster theme parks in the US, but anyway I did google it then and knew it existed and it is in Chicago.. So I was aiming to go there one day.. (went Chicago a few times but was winter and its not open)

Anyway, back to the game, it was fun you know.. building your own roller coaster and controlling them.. and keep imagining that one day we can ride on the roller coaster we built ourselves.. ;D

Although later on, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 was out, with 3D and we can have camere view of how it feels riding our own roller coaster... but it felt EVEN better when I actually visited Six Flag Park Magic Mountain in LA. (yes later on I also found they have a few of these parks in USA and other countries..)

So here goes.. after all the crapping.. My OWN Six Flag Park Adventure.. :D

Yee Peeeee!!

Once again I planned to stay in the room, but this time my junior roommate from Hong Kong who happens to have an ex-schoolmate here decided to go out. At first she planned to go Disneyland, or Universal Studio, which I've been to before so I dint wanna go but her friend decided to bring her to Six Flags instead so I unshamelessly (I reclined to accompany her to go Disneyland and Univesal Studio which means if her friend cant make it she is going alone but when I heard she's going to Six Flags... ) asked if I could join along.. how unshamelessly Alison is.. sigh..

reaching soon!!





From far already damn excited...

Bored waiting.. took my own shadow... For such a sunny weather.. and its not hot but windy.. hmm..

This is better..

:)

right on time X2 passes by.. We are so near!!

There! see this vid (recorded by someone else... there are loads of it in YouTube!)

The Goliath stone writing so big, can fit into the camera..

Wanted to try this game but also another 2 hours or queue.. so.. pass!!

there! better! without me in it..

And this Superman - a self-launched rollercoaster

See what I recorded:

See what I found in You Tube:



Cool eh?

No dint get to ride that either. damn lots of people man.. Must choose the best ride among n such a short time there...

Cannot see much but some that's Swashbuckler - like the spinning thing in our Genting..

Why I can remember its name and not Lanny's friend? Cos I still have their map!!! :(

And this is for kids only - tweety like thing that spins kids around in cages.. lol..

Me with Tazmania.. Why must pictures I take with mascot have to be SHARED with other kids? Like spidey-man in Universal Studios??? ergh!

A funny mascot..

And a naughty girl hit him at the back so he came running after her.. But that girl ran into the cafe where he's too big to enter.. lol.. should have recorded it.. :D

And finally,

Tatsu..

The best game ever..

and its an upside down ride!!

Worth the 2 hours queue..

See vid:

This guy went on all the roller coasters and record the point of view - for fun or for their podcast, I dunno but I get to show them here.. heheh..

Well, after that game its kinda dark and since Lanny and me have flights tomorrow morning and the journey back takes 1 hour.. we have to end our trip..

Yes, only 3 rides for the whole 8 hours in there.. each ride need to queue for 2 hours, (and each rides finishes in 2 minutes!) the rest were used to locate the ride, lunch, toilet breaks and walking.. -__-

Although I have no problem coming back here again this whole year, cos I got myself a ticket pass for 1 year! :D They were having promotions for spring/summer USD 59.9 for a year pass.. or USD59.9 for a day pass.. of course we choosed the year pass..

-i love six flags-
