Six Flags

I wanted to check out Six Flag's Halloween event yesterday.  After looking at the price of tickets, I decided the best course of action was to purchase a season pass.  That way, I could check out the Halloween event and the Holiday event for the same price as a single ticket.  And, I just need to go one more time to make up the money. 

What does it say about me that I'm 32, dressed up in a Halloween costume (Butterfly), and going to a theme park with my mom?  I say, it says I'm pretty damn cool!  I definitely caused a lot of smiles.  The best was when a little tot pointed at me and exclaimed, "Bug!". 

The park was disappointing.  It wasn't decorated all that well for Halloween.  Sea World did a much better job.  None of the Halloween attractions were available without paying extra money.  I'm sorry, I just spent $200 to get into your park, I'm not spending an extra $50 for the Halloween stuff.  That should have been included. 

I felt like the park is only trying to get money from you.  It's not an enjoyable situation.  Parking is $17 *per visit*.  I upgraded my season pass so I don't have to pay parking.  But, I had to pay to get into the park, to get the season passes, and they don't reimburse that $17.  Bad servicing.  Food is way over priced and they don't give discounts if you have a season pass.  And, you had to pay extra for all the Halloween stuff.

Once we got to the park, we had to wait in line for about an hour to process our season passes.  I'm really hoping that the Holiday events are nicer to make up for Halloween.  Otherwise, I'm going to have major buyers remorse.  So far, Sea World is the place to go for Halloween.  Sea World's Holiday event was weak, so I'm hoping that Fiesta Texas will win on that one.
