Great Day at Six Flags

We took a shuttle from our motel across to Magic Mountain. They dropped us at the front gate at 9:30AM...an hour before the gates opened. That was a bummer. Everyone was getting antsy waiting. It was starting to rain and get pretty warm when they finally opened at 10:30. John and Justin headed to the Revolution roller coaster first. A classic! This was the first modern looping coaster. John has wanted to ride it for 34 years and reports that it was worth the wait. Fortunately, it stopped raining early and the park wasn't crowded at all today. Every ride we went on had no wait to speak of. That was great because it was 100 degrees here and a lot more humid than San Diego was. Throughout the day we managed to ride The Jetstream (John and Justin), The Gold Rusher (Everyone), Ninja (Justin and Jennifer), Riddler's Revenge (John), The Scrambler (Joshua, Justin and John), Colossus (Justin and John), Terminator: Salvation (Justin and John), Goliath (Justin and John), The Swing Ride (Joshua, Justin and John), and a second trip on the Revolution to close the day (Justin and John). That's a lot of rides for us! Everyone was tired by 3:30 when the shuttle bus picked us up for the ride back to the motel. We headed straight for a nice swim at the pool and some relaxing. After that we walked next door for dinner at a place called Marie Callendar's. The food was OK but the service stunk. Oh well. Back in our room we're relaxing and thinking about tomorrow. It's back in the van and time to head to the ocean.
