7. Magic Mountain

Jul 23, 2009 Uncategorized

Today was my first full day in Pasadena. It was great having a bed to sleep in, but more importantly having a nice shower. The plan for the day was to get to Six Flags Magic Mountain around 10:30 AM and stay until closing at 10 pm. Joining Peter and me was his buddies Paul and Mike.

I had only ridden 2 roller coasters prior to today, so I was very excited. The first ride we did was X2, which according to everyone was the best ride there. I won’t bother describing all the rides, but X2 was pretty sweet. There are no pictures today because X2 cracked the screen to my camera while it was in my pocket. So now I don’t have a camera.

We just rode rides all day long and had a great time. I should have started doing this a long time ago. Around 9 pm Mike ran into an old friend who now works at Six Flags. His friend asked us if we wanted to bypass the line at X2. We all said yes, so instead of spending ~2 hours in line we were escorted to the front of the line. It was cool doing the ride again at night, and Mike’s friend really came through for us!

We did one last ride which managed to crack the screen to my phone. Great, now my phone and camera are broken. The rides were sweet, but a $27 ticket to Six Flags has now left me with quite the repair bill.
