There are things in life that you wouldn’t have imagined yourself doing until after you did it. That happened to me this weekend (Nov 19th) at Six Flags! After all those crazy rides, I felt super proud of myself. (There, there, Lloyd. Good job! :D)
It was another first
for me. I’ve never been to Six flags before that weekend, so I figured, why not
go! We like adventures, don’t we?

So, we purchased tickets for an exclusive mix-in private party at Six flags in Magic Mountain for only 39 bucks. It entitled us to enjoy the theme park all day long plus some extra private hours, from 9pm-12midnight (Six flags closes at 9pm). After 9pm, there barely is a line to any ride. Yay! (or Nay! XD)

Since it’s pretty much Holiday already, Christmas is the theme of the virtual reality. I was riding on a sleigh pulled by the reindeers with Santa on my left. We were delivering presents from house to house. It was nice to experience it, and for starters, it was not at all scary for me. It was fun :)
It was a long wait and we were starving already. So we ate after.
Just a little. We don’t want to throw up after. Ewwww! There still quite a few rides
ahead.

| Chicken strips and some fries (not in the picture, chilly cheese fries and mac & cheese) LOL Light! :D |
Then here comes the next ride, uh oh! The X2. ~insert doom sound
effects here!!!
I wonder why it’s called X2, X = extreme, 2 for square??? Extreme
squared!!! Oh my…
I asked myself: “What am I even doing here? Why would people pay
to be nervous?” Then, I realized I paid for it as well. HAHA Now I have no
choice.
 |
| Terrified faces >,< |
X2 has dangling seats (I know, crazy right?) and it runs backwards
at first as you can see in the borrowed video (we weren’t allowed to film it,
tsss!), and then I didn’t know what happened next. I just screamed my lungs
out! (Literally and figuratively, jk)
X2 is one of the scariest and, indeed, the extremist rides I’ve
ever ridden in my entire life. I was close to tears after the ride. (Good thing
I didn’t puke or peed in my pants) Yes! THAT scary!!! HAHA It was an
achievement on my part. I felt really proud. Whoa! Boy, that was one hell of a
ride!
I recommend it 5 stars! TRY IT!!!
Thanks to my friend, Michelle for the push. I hugged her super tightly right after the ride!!! I’m glad we did it! X2 was smooooooooth!
2 down...
I figured everything will be chicken to me after X2. So, on to the
next. TATSU! (Fly at the Speed of Fear) Oh, boy!
So we lined up for Tatsu, however, after few minutes of waiting,
it was announced that they are having technical difficulties and that there would
be delays. My crazy mind was Ef’ed up. Technical difficulty??? “Are you kidding
me?”, that just scared the hell out of me. Most of the people exited the line
and so we did. I didn’t want to take risks, “not for this” I said to myself.
So we decided to explore other parts of the park and see cool
holiday displays. Christmas lights everywhere, Christmas trees, fake snow, fountains,
cute DC action figures and many more. It was also so cold, felt really so
Christmassy.

| Looney Tunes!!! :D |
After few more minutes, we got back to the Tatsu. Doc and I
grabbed souvenirs while they were in line.
For the second time, they announced
it again. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. My mind went blurry. “Is this some kind of
premonition?” “Isn’t it a sign already?” oh shoot! But we stayed.

It’s a 4-loop roller coaster where people ride while standing. Yes, Standing!
It was pretty fun too except that I felt a little dizzy after
because of the loops haha What do you think about it having 4? 4 LOOOOPS!!!
We needed to calm down a little after the rides, so we went to the little fair where we played the racing game. Too bad we didn’t film it. But we all got a prize. I won second place in the first game. Michelle secured the spot for the champion as she easily bagged first place in 2 games. Congrats! (Thanks, Glenn for the treat!!!) We had so much fun. It was my first time to win a prize. Another first!!!

| Meet my pet Winni :) We all gotz prizes :D |
OMG. I can’t do that. I just can’t. haha At least not at that time. I’ve tried the ‘Mega Drop’ ride in LA County Fair last September and it is not even half the ‘Lex Luthor’ but already got me super nervous. I’ll prolly try it next time. And the Superman too. Whew, my hands are getting super sweaty just thinking about it.
We were all tired and exhausted after. But it was definitely a well-spent Saturday.
We couldn’t wrap up the day without tasting the funnel cake! Yay, a treat after all of those nerve-racking but super fun rides.
We, totally deserved this, every bit of calories :))
