Continued: Wheeeee! This is my current desktop wallpaper. I love this shot of Titan. Yeah, Superman is really tall. I think it may be the tallest S&S. Another entrance shot. I love this shot. You can see the Six Flags to the right. Da Da Daa DA DA! Superman! I love New Texas Giant. So photogenic. Going up. Train at the top of Titan. Coming down. That's the Rangers ballpark and New Cowboys Stadium in the background if anyone's wondering. It's a little late for regrets once you're there. I can't resist taking pictures of New Texas Giant. Tell me that doesn't look like fun. In Texas, this oil derrick and old truck IS theming. La Vibora. A must ride, if only just for its rarity. I call it the knee knocker. Wait . . . They didn't tell me that this was a Seven Flags!! The Judge. Six Flags and the Judge. The Out and Back of the Judge. Gotham City's twisty goodness. My least favorite coaster and my favorite flat ride. Can't resist the Giant's siren call. Headchoppers? Sidechoppers? Handchoppers? All-aroundchoppers? Ride this if you want to get wet. More to come!!!

Continued: Everything's bigger in Texas. It's not about length, but girth. It was the longest line I waited in all day at thirty minutes, but Those Dippin' Dots were worth it. (Kidding) Seriously, New Texas Giant is a must ride. It was even better than last year. A flat ride. What? I got nuthin'. Hit jest don't. I've been to this park numerous times and I just realized that the sign says Pecos Belle's and not Pecos Bill's That's Titan. The Brake run there makes it come to almost a complete halt now because some lightweights were complaining about blacking out during the helices. Front of the park from the Oil Derrick. Those green things are called trees. They are needed in a park this hot. Superman towers over Gotham City. Don't cry Shockwave. I still absolutely love you. It's just I also love New Texas Giant. There's room in my heart for both of you. You do have curves in all the right places, though. Seriously, it was very smooth this time. Hey, there. Look! An oil derrick. Looks like she's had some work done. Double the lift hills, double the fun. More to come (including more Tower shots)

On June 4, I visited Six Flags Over Texas armed with my new camera and it was one of my best trips yet. Lines were minimal, It wasn't too hot (for Texas), and the Oil Derrick Observation Tower was open. I'm not going to go into great detail about the park here (as I'm sure many are already familiar with the OG Six Flags) However, there is one bit of rather distressing news for long time Six Flags Over Texas visitors. They changed the Pink Things!!! The Good: Pink Things are now only $1. The Bad: They are no longer the conical treats, but rather cylindrical push pop style things in a cardboard tube. The Ugly: They are no longer cherry, but cotton candy flavored. I was honestly too disgusted to even take a picture of the new "treat". Apparently, Six Flags switched vendors from Blue Bell (who make good frozen treats) to Nestle (who make cotton candy flavored goo). This didn't ruin an otherwise great visit, but I still often wonder about the people that make such decisions at Six Flags. Anyhow, on to the pictures: Here we are. at Six Flags over Texas. What to ride first, decisions, decisions. Seriously, Runaway Mine train is fun. Where are we again? Oh yeah, France. Look, I can see the Eiffel Tower from France. Did you know Ms. Pacman was French? A Cannon shot with a Nikon. (Photography humor). The Runaway Mountain sign was misting. It was a better ride today than I could remember, and it was a walk on. I see you there peeking over the trees, calling to me. I'll get to you later. Sadly flume one was closed. The signs looked good though. I think they repainted since last year. The best part about New Texas Giant is when the trees eat you.

Viper and Goliath at Six Flags parks. The names mean nothing. Heck, Goliath at Fiesta Texas isn't even big.

Found this site from the youtube videos. Lurked for a few weeks before deciding to join. I love many different types of coasters, and have mostly been to theme parks in the heartland of the US and the East Coast (and, of course, Texas). Also, I'm a huge baseball fan and comic book nerd. Quick coaster facts about me.
