I decided to start a series, about Louise C. a young RCT peep. Join me as she visits RCT parks and writes Trip Reports about them!
Here is the first episode! Louise and her family take a road trip to Six Flags Stevenson! But things dont go as planned........
Enjoy!
I remember that day well, it was a hot day in July and my dad is staying home for his 2 weeklong summer break. Me and my brother Daniel were having breakfast and soon enough, mom and dad sat down next to us, they were both reading the newspaper. They then started talking about vouchers for amusement park tickets and as soon as we finished eating, we went to the living room and hid in the closet so we can eavesdrop on our parents (lol) I remember that Mom said ??????Because we are all open for the week, lets go to Six Flags Stevenson!?????? Dad said, ??????I Don??????t know, isn??????t that kinda far away??????? and the Mom said ??????Its only an hour and a half away, we can leave early tomorrow, spend the whole day there and then at night, we can sleep at a motel! How does that sound?????? and Dad said, ?????? Well, okay we can do that! I can??????t wait to see the look on their faces when we tell them!?????? I was really exited, because I am a natural born coaster lover and this would be a nice getaway. A local amusement park named Diamond Heights Theme Park (Yes, the scenario from RCT1) is our home park; it is medium sized and has about 4 roller coasters. Arachnophobia, an Shwartzkopf Jet Star (VERY RARE) The Claustrophobia and Agoraphobia racers, O.D Hopkins Looping Racers and finally, Xenophobia, A wooden Wild mouse coaster. It is a quaint little park, but we go there 20 times over the summer and we get tired of it! And besides, we haven??????t gone to SFS in about 3 years! The next day was the big day! I checked the weather outside and it was beautiful, not a single cloud in the sky! I checked the weather channel, and it was about 101.F outside. We got into the family SUV (GMC Suburban) and drove off, it took about 2 hours to get there (30 mins bumper to bumper traffic) and when we got there, that parking lot was F-U-L-L. We had to drive around about 30 times before we got a spot, in the grass. After we paid the 30.00 for admittance, we split up, me and my big brother Daniel were going to ride roller coasters together and Mom and Dad were going to ride the Flat Rides. We first joined the queue line for Batman Night Flight and we almost turned our selves around and got off line because it was so long, but we came here to have fun so we stayed, the queue line had TV??????s tuned to the Weather Network and It seemed that the temperature rised up to 110.F. When we finally got to ride, the seats and OSTR??????s were disgusting and sweaty, it seemed that Six Flags Oasis Paradise, the adjacent water park was closed because of tainted water. We had fun and we wanted to go on again, but the line stretched past the queue! We decided to go on Timber Tantrum, the line was long on that, but it wasn??????t so bad. Then after that we noticed something, ALL OF THE ROLLER COASTERS WERE ONLY OPERATING ONE TRAIN!!!!! We decided to go on Flight of Fear, but as soon as we were first in line, it broke down! We wanted then to go on Mad Moose, Danny??????s favorite coaster; but the line there was far, far too long. We saw a sign on Mad Moose??????s Queue that said ??????Approx wait from here, 3 hours?????? We bypassed that! The temperature rose again to 115 degrees, the teenagers there started getting real pissy and they were running around, there were fist fights, I saw security guards were being dispatched. It was true havoc! We went on Hang- Man. We tried to go on Hang-Over but that line was humungous! And to make matters worse hot temperatures bring, that??????s right THUNDERSTORMS. Without warning, it just started POURING! I got so wet! Because I was so mentally retarded to not buy an umbrella! Then suddenly, the rain dissipated and the rides were open again!! I then found Mom and Dad (Which didn??????t look too happy) and asked them if we can go home RIGHT NOW! Dad said ??????C??????mon please go on at least one more coaster!?????? so we went on Thunder, and IT WAS OPERATING TWO TRAINS! WOOHOO! After we had ridden that, it started raining again! And this time it was a real thunder and lightning storm. After we tracked through the muddy grass. And got to the car, it was already 7:00pm! We had just shot a day to hell going here! As soon as we started leaving, we were caught in a traffic jam trying to get away from the park. And then Dad said ??????Look, I know the weather was bad today but I??????ll make it up to you, I swear! I will take us all to Diamond Height??????s tomorrow and maybe in September, we can go here again.?????? I just pray that it is going to be better than the day we had today!
