I was gonna post yesterday about my upcoming great america plans for today, but I couldn't, since I was being upgraded to the new fancy version of blogger.
Well, regardless, I went to Six Flags Great America today. I got up at about 6:45, got picked up about 7:10, left oshkosh around 7:30ish. We stopped a little ways outside of Milwaukee for some cheese curds from the Mars Cheese Castle, and breakfast at the Star Diner, or whatever it was called. They had two eggs and two pancakes for 2 bucks, not bad at all. We got at Great America a little after 10, which was when they opened. Mike went over to guest relations to pick up his little card that lets him skip the lines because of his prosthetic leg, which let me tell ya, is totally awesome.
Then, we ran over to Raging Bull, which barely had any people in line yet, so we waited for the front car, which was only a few minutes wait. I had never ridden in the front car on a roller coaster before, and it was pretty cool. I think after today, I don't have any roller coaster fears remaining at all. Bring it On.
After that, we jumped all around, hitting the Demon twice, Vertical Velocity, Viper, Superman, Giant Drop twice, American Eagle Backwards, Batman, and the Raging Bull again.
I spent 8 bucks on lunch for a footlong hotdog and a coke. Scott spent 13 bucks for a burger, fries, and drink. Later on I spent 5 bucks on a funnel cake with too much powdered sugar for a somewhat windy day.
We then did a water ride excursion, hitting Roaring Rapids, Splashwater Falls, and Logger's Run.
We hit some arcades for a bit, where Scott wasted waaay too much money on stupid prize winning games. Which afterwards, all he had to show for it was a shitty watch he ended up throwing out the window on the ride home.
We also hit a little bumper car action, and went go-karting twice. Over all, lots of fun, and our longest wait all day was at the gokarts. I slept most of the ride back to town, but we stopped in Fond du Lac for dinner at Applebee's. At the end, Scott and Mike were all red with sunburn whereas I was doing pretty good, since I actually put on sunblock in the morning.
Big thanks for a fun day, to Mike and Scott.
But truly, the moral of the story, is I love prosthetic legs.
