It was sad checking out of our little "home" this morning. So I covered up real good yesterday and had my umbrella up walking around the zoo and I wore my sneakers but wouldn't you know it I still burnt. On my hands!!!!!! Hahaha I can't win. Packed up and had our last breakfast. Haha haha the lady knew as soon as we walked in and had already started making my waffles. Then we checked out. Onto Six Flags Magic Mountain!
We chose to go to Six Flags on our last day cause its on the way outta town. We got there about half an hour after it opened and parked in one of the outer lots. They had shuttles taking people to the entrance so we hopped on that.
On a side note, we have been thouroughly impressed with the theme parks down here. They are super good about a parking (directing you and lining everyone up in the mornings instead of a free for all), majority of the parks had shuttles to and from the parking to the main entrance or parking wasn't that far away from the main entrance, every park we've visited, had bag checks for security purposes, bathrooms have been imacculate despite the ridiculous volumes of people going through, staff have been friendly and helpful, gift shops have been good and other than Disney the prices in theme parks have been extremely reasonable. We have hit everything so perfectly timed for shows or rides or eating we've barely had to wait in lines. We've both been very, very impressed. It's made our time down here downright pleasurable despite the massive amount of people.
Kels had a wonderful day. He is such a roller coaster lover. His favorite was a toss up between Batman, The Ride (suspended looping steel coaster) and Twisted Colossus (wood and steel coaster - world's longest hybrid coaster). We also did Full Throttle (somehow we ended up in the front row for that one - world's tallest looping coaster), The Riddler's Revenge (stand up roller coaster), Apocalypse - The Ride (classic wooden roller coaster), Roaring Rapids (twice - it was like the Grizzly one in Disney California Adventurepark), Viper (seven inversions, steel coaster), Tatsu (world's tallest, fastest and longest flying coaster - yes folks your "flying"), Green Lantern: First Flight (spinning coaster), Jet Stream (log ride with a 57ft plunge at the end), Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth (it spins you around in a circle so fast it plasters you against the back) and Sandblasters (bumper cars). The bumper cars were awesome.
We left the park just after 6 and started our trek up the coast. Tonight we are in Monterey.
Next up: Monterey Aquarium.
