The most memorable life event was when I first went to six flags, because its where kids and their family’s go to have a good time. They’re are rides, food, games, and etc. I remember that cold Thursday night. The wind was so strong that leaves and sticks were flying everywhere. I woke up the next day on Friday, I knew my mom was planning something, but I just didn’t know. She called all of us, which was my sisters and I. I have two sisters that are younger than me, and one that is oldest than me. Briana is my oldest sister, Kris is my mid-oldest, then theirs Karla my baby sister. Any who my mom was giving us an option to choose a place where we would all like to go to have fun. As I sat in the couch, I was trying to think of something really fun to do. So it came to mind that I have always wanted to go to six flags. I shouted out “six flags”, everybody looked at me and said, “yes”! Everybody got ready and as soon as everybody was done, we all jumped in my mother’s green minivan. By the way it was my favorite car. I was nervous and my hands were all sweaty. I guess I …show more content…
It was really packed. As we walked in we had to pay for our tickets. My mother gave the front office clerk money so we could purchase the tickets, which came out to sixty dollars. My eyes started to sparkle as soon as we walked in. There were so may rollercoasters and food. Before we even got to ride one ride everybody was hungry. So my mom bought us some pizza and sodas. The pizza was really good, it had hamburger meat and mushrooms; which is my favorite food to eat. As we were eating our food, we glanced at some of the rollercoasters, planning out which ones we were going to ride. In my opinion it was like a play land for teenagers. My older sister Bri asked if I wanted to ride the rollercoasters. I was so thrilled and excited to get on the rides. Kris and Karla stayed with my mom, while Bri and I got on some
Six flags is a company that has 29 theme parks with a Chief Corporate Engineer, Larry Chickola. Larry overseas all the projects for the parks and has teams of engineers that help take care of technical issues and building and construction. All six flags projects have a comprehensive plan for completing the work in a timely fashion. They have written statements as to what work is to be done and dated schedules for completion. They also have to include tasks and sub tasks all being figured into the budget. There is a “work package,” which is a group of activities assigned to break down each task and sub task to fit these into manageable quotas. They feel this is the key to managing logistics.
When I was about 10 years old, my mom took me to a roller coaster theme park in Massachusetts. I was terribly afraid of the huge roller coaster that appeared in front of me, and while I waited in line, the anxiety of waiting to die in a roller coaster made my heart beat through my chest. The huge coaster went up and down and up and down, and even though my mom continuously asked me if I was sure that I wanted to go, I repeatedly said yes. I wanted to make it clear that I was a man, not a crying baby. Stepping onto that roller coaster was what I remember the most.
It was the summer of 2012 and my family was taking another trip to Six Flags Great America. Earlier that summer we went just for me to be disappointed. At the time I wasn’t 54 inches yet and couldn’t ride any of the rides that I wanted to because they were the most popular at the amusement park. But, I hit a growth spurt between trips and we planned to ride all of the big rollercoasters. The one that I was most terrified of at the time was Raging Bull, one of the tallest, fastest, and longest steel coasters in the US. As we started to wait in line for the ride I was shaking with both anticipation and fear and began to rethink my idea to ride the rollercoaster. I decided to stay in line and see what many people thought was a great coaster.
It was finally the day that I had to pony up and ride the Wild Thing. Last time Macie and I went to Valleyfair, we made a promise that the next time we came, we had to ride it. We had been nervous to ride it because neither of us like heights or the feeling in your stomach when you go down a big drop.
We had to sit with the children for them to be able to ride the rides because they're all under the age of 14. We were so excited to be able to ride every single ride together. We laughed and held hands and it was really nice to be carefree and playful with each other instead of serious and grown up. My husband talked me into riding the tea cup ride from Alice and Wonderland and I swore I was going to get sick from all the spinning, but he laughed and recorded a video of me throughout the whole ride. He said it's one of his favorite moments from our Honeymoon because I was so funny about it.
Magic Kingdom was the most crowded park because that is one of the most famous ones. We stayed at the park all day,some of the rides I went on are space mountain,Splash mountain,Seven dwarfs mine train and it's a small world. It's a small world is really creepy in my opinion because there are dolls singing a really creepy song but the overall the message is good. It's about all the countries coming together and realizing that they are all connected.
Then we rode the extreme roller coasters. Maddie was a little scared at first but then she was all up for it. The whole way down this big drop they were crying tears of joy and it was funny because you could see there faces push back just like the movies.
While, i was in Florida there was a ride called the rock n roller coaster and i decided to ride it and my family was surprised. I was so scared but i was trying my best not to show it to my family. At first i thought that i was sitting with my parents but then i found out that i was sitting with my sister. My dad comes and tells me that my little sisters will be riding and that i had to go with my big sister and it was the last seat which was the back.
After that ride, my dad officially didn’t go to any more rides and I made fun him for chickening out. He bought us butterbeer in one of the stands. It was a slushy drink that tasted like butterscotch. We went into the stores that had the wands and the one that had all the different candy from Hogwarts. After visit Harry Potter we went to the studio tour.
I’ve been to Disneyland a total of one time my whole life, yet it was just as magical as if I had been there multiple times. The morning I went to Disneyland, my mom woke me up and told me to get dressed at about 8 o’clock on a cold, brisk morning. I had no idea where we were going or who we were going to see. At this time we did not have a car, so we took a full bus crowded with commuters to Disneyland. On the bus there were many different kinds of people ranging from old, decrepit women to burly men with bulging muscles.
One of my most vivid childhood memories is when I was about eleven or twelve and my family and a friend of mine went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. This was one of my first times being able to be free and do what I wanted in public, and I think that why it’s so vivid to me. The day started when we picked up my friend Tim, from his house and we went down the the boardwalk. My family and me and Tim split up immediately, so we were on our own.
I did not like it at all. My two brothers had a blast and did it the majority of the day! My mom and I went on the coaster and slide a few more times. We also went on a Jeep Tour. It was a Jeep that drive us all over the mountain.
It had a zip-line, merry go round, mini golf, ice rink, pool and more. It seemed to have everything that a dynamic amusement park would have. All on a gigantic ship. I was ecstatic for the adventure my family
When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still, because I was so excited. We finally arrived that evening and decided to stay in a hotel near the theme park. When it was time for bed I could not go to sleep for a long time, because I was so excited about going at Disney world. When I saw the big mirror ball from the entrance, I was amazed. Disney world had a wide variety of rides. There were tons of rides that shocked me. Some of these rides made you feel like you were riding in a jet because of how fast they were. There was even a roller coaster ride in the huge mirror ball. It was a slow ride, but I still liked it because there was air conditioning inside the ball. We spent all day at the park until we had ridden everything. That night Disney World had a firework show. The fireworks seemed like they lasted forever with the amazing colors bursting in the air one right after another. When the firework show finally ended my parents told me that it was time to leave. I was...
The whole drive there I was just wondering what I was going to do and see over there. I mean I thought I thought I was excited about my plane ride there, but that wasn?t even half of what I was feeling at that time. Once I saw the roller coasters as we drove to Universal?s Island of Adventure my face just lit up like the sun.
