Six Flags







Went to Six Flags yesterday with Amy and had a blast.We rode all the big roller coasters and she even got me on the Superman Tower of Power which terrified the heck out of me.The only bad part of the day was when we went to get on some of the big coasters and her son,Cody couldn't or wouldn't ride with us was that the staff at the rides were supposed to let him stay in line with us and crossover when we went to get on the ride.Well this did not happen.We went to get on Titan and the staff told us that we had to leave an 8yr old boy alone at the exit of the ride and they were not responsible for him.BULL!!!!Can't believe that that is even legal with all the crimes you hear about kids getting taken from everywhere.We were in line for 45 minutes without him.Then we go over to Mr.Freeze and they tell us he had to wait all alone again.Needless to say we are ticked off at this point.Amy ended up not riding it with us since we were not comfortable leaving Cody alone for that length of time.We got off there and head over to Batman---same issue but this time the staff attendant decided he was gonna terrify Cody into thinking he was gonna be forced to ride and he wasn't even tall enough.We all went balistic at this point-you DON'T scare our kid.Amy ended up talking to the head super of the ride and some others.She got taken to the exit of Batman and was told about a program that ALL rides were suppose to be complying with called "kid swap".What this means is when you have a child too short or doesn't want to ride a ride they are suppose to let you go with the child to the exit of the ride and wait for the rest of your party to go through the line normally and when they get to the ride they tell the staff they have a kid swap waiting.Then they let the other member of your party in and the child waits for them while they are on the ride.This leaves the kid alone but in sight for a whole 2 minutes if that.This is something that all guest should be aware of so that it doesn't happen to them and thier child.Please get the word out.Here is a few pictures of our day.
