Frightening Fun

The weekend before Halloween we decided to visit Six Flags as it was not only their last open weekend, but also the beginning of "Fright Fest." So we loaded up Jeff and Todd and headed about 45 minutes north. It was the first time I had ridden a rollercoaster with 2 coats, mittens, and a scarf. Instead of snowcones and dippin' dots the concession stands offered coffee and hot chocolate. Each were sold in line as well. We arrived about 30 minutes prior to the opening of the rides and were able to enjoy quite a few before we stopped for lunch. After lunch the park started to fill up, and after waiting in line 2.5 hours for one ride we decided we had had enough!
Welcome to Six Flags Amusement Park! We hoped the decreasing temperature and increasing wind would keep the park empty, but it didn't quite work out as planned.
The boys wanted to start the day off with a power plunge. These are about the only type of ride my stomach can not handle so I dedicated myself to photographing their experience. ...waiting in line...
Here they are about halfway up...anxiety building accordingly...
...they dropped!..and by the looks of their faces, thoroughly enjoyed themselves....
Todd found an interesting tombstone along the way...
Jason and I in line for Batman.
