2nd day at Six Flags Magic Mountain
We decided to sleep in and go to Six Flags a little bit later. We stopped at IHOP for breakfast and then went to the park at around 1:00 pm. The first stop was a water raft ride, like Rattlesnake rapids at Lagoon. Not having gone on it before, we didn't know how wet we would get. Sharri and Rob decided not to go, for fear of being wet all day. They waited by the exit for everyone else and watched as many people came off the ride soaking wet. When the kids and Brian & Janet came off the ride, they were all soaking wet, except Brian. Riley, Erika and Sarah had to take their shoes and socks off and ring them out, because they were so wet. Luckily, that day was very hot around 85 degrees and it didn't take long to get dry again. There were many people at the park on today, Saturday. We counted at least 25 charter buses parked in the parking lot. The Autrey's bought a Flash pass, where you get to go to the front of the line. This was nice, since the lines were very long and long wait times. Sharri did not ride any rides today, because she was still not feeling well with the cold she had. There was a concert that night of a band that played all of Oingo Boingo songs, so Rob, Janet and Sharri decided to go, since all Sharri was doing was sitting around anyways. Wow, was the music loud and we didn't even know the songs. Sharri has never left a concert in her life, but after three songs, she was done and went back to meet up with the kids and Brian. So, not riding any rides and leaving a concert, Sharri told Brian that she is becoming her mother. Later that night they had a hurst and some dancers on the walkways dancing to Thriller and some other halloween songs. We left the park around 11:30 pm and walked to our car, since there was a line for the shuttle tram. It was a fun day for most of us, but we are headed back home tomorrow.
