We are not amused

It's called an Amusement Park. Ironic.

Six Flags Great Adventure.

DO NOT GO THERE

Between the 90 minute lines, and closed/broken rides, we rode like... 3 rides today.

1. Kids rode the teacups. yawn.
2. Kids rode a parachute thing. lame.
3. Wanted to do the 'Twister' ....srry, this ride is temporarily closed
4. Wanted to try the Great American Scream Machine. as we approached, the line was bailing out. ride is stuck....closed.
5. Went to go try Superman. 90 minute wait. NOT
6. Walked forever to get to the big wooden coater....90 minute wait.
7. Went to get on the little wooden coaster....waited in line for 10 minutes, and were told that it broke.
8. Approached the Flume. 120 minute wait. yeah right
9. Went over to Skull Mountain. 50 minute wait....so we waited! The line is in the shade at least..... but half way in, you realize it's an un-airconditioned tunnel...and the kid in front of us in line has brutal BO. we get in the ride, and it's literally 35 seconds long.....a twisty little violent roller coaster in a darkened warehouse type room. this is not spooky, scary or worth any kind of wait.
10. hunt down a bathroom ( there are like 3) then back over to try the Twister again. after waiting 30 minutes in that line, our nephew is ejected for being 1" too short....(why is there not a "too short"line at the entrance like the other rides?) The other 3 actually seemed to enjoy that ride.
11. the big kids and I go to the Scream Machine, while jinx takes the short nephew over to drive the cars. (guess what....he was too short for that too) We got on the scream machine within 20-25 minutes, and it was a blast. worht that wait.

12 Felling lucky, we go back over to try the little wooden coaster again....takes us 40 minutes in that line...watching them struggle with malfunctioning cars. ( literally half of the green train is roped off) After we finally got in, it was a brutal, loose, fast and extremely violent experience. My ribs and neck are sore. not fun.

13. jinx takes the big kids to go ride the brand new Bizzarro Coaster while I take the short kid on the lame little train coaster......she waits 45 minutes in lin efor this new in 2009 ride, and it breaks.

14. we left.

there are no medium rides in the fuckign place. 7 million different places to eat....carnival games to spend MORE money at....Extra charge rides/games.....

OH! and the fucking Flash Pass people>! what the fuck is this? there are VIP people the go in the exits and are allowed to board the rides without waiting in line?! I think that sucks sucks sucks. fuck that. fuck it in the neck

oh, and the safaris was lame as shit too.

$224 plus gas and about $50 worth of water and hotdogs along the way
