It's been a while since we've been able to make use of our Six Flags passes. We were excited to go again! It turned out to be a day in high 60's temperature wise. I'm not sure if this is why there were less people or people just haven't gotten in their minds yet that Six Flags is an option, but it was very much not crowded. We love that!
Gotta have a picture with the Jelly Belly!
I love Amy's smile in this pic!
She loves the big roller coasters and the merry-go-round. This girl loves it all!
My turn on the merry-go-round with Rebekah
We have to take turns going on some rides since Ben and Rebekah often aren't big enough.
Bugs Bunny!!!!
Toward the end of the day, we had a bit of a... not a scare, but a concern. Eliza somehow lost her six-flags pass. Bonnie went to member-services and it turns out that to get a new one, we would have to go, in person, to the six flags where we originally purchased them. That's Atlanta, Georgia for us! Dumb!
After much prayer and searching, I made a trip back to member services and someone had just turned in Eliza's membership pass! Whew!
The passes provide our meals for in the park, too, and we were not far from dinner time. Looking back, the member-services employee could have been, well, a lot more helpful. But she wasn't.
And quite frankly, most six-flags employees aren't that helpful. I don't think they treat their employees that great. We've seen some pretty rude treatment which I've blown off as someone having a bad day, but when it becomes a standard, even between different parks, it's no longer just a bad day issue.
We have yet to go to a park where getting food hasn't had some sort of debacle. This time, it turns out that they stop accepting cards for dinner purchases after 7:15, even though they're still open and serving dinners. Even if the park closes at 7, they serve dinners until 7:15, but when it closes at 8, or 10, or whenever, it doesn't matter, dinner cards are done at 7:15. This isn't true of all six-flags parks nation-wide, just this one. We were literally *in line* when the last dinner order was accepted.
I spoke with a manager, explaining we had a family of 7, all hungry, all who had been in the rather slow line when 7:15 hit, and she was willing to give us our meals. Bless her.
But really, Six Flags is quickly reaching Comcast status in my eyes.
We enjoy the rides, but we'll probably not renew these passes at the end of the year.
