Halloween @ Six Flags
Halloween is a big deal here in the USA… actually it is a HUGE deal! There is a lot of tradition around the season of Fall and Halloween with parties/events/shows etc. and we were given the chance to visit a theme park called Six Flags: Great Adventure on Halloween with our good friends Brett & Renae.
I’d never done a real theme park before… the closest I’ve been is Luna Park, which isn’t saying much quite honestly. Although Six Flags could be better defined as a Rollercoaster Park since it has about 12 of them inside!
So on Halloween 2009, I had my first ever ride on a REAL rollercoaster and loved it! It was the Superman coaster where you are actually rotated 90′ so you are lying horizontally facing the ground- just like Superman!
I loved the ride so much, I think I was instantly addicted to coasters. I was still very anxious when lining up for new rides, but it turned to excitement once I was strapped in, with Bek finding amusement in my yelling and whoo!’ing!
In total we did 11 rollercoasters… each one as crazy as the next!
To finish it all off there was a Fright Fest in the evening with the chance to ‘Escape the Asylum’… an Asylum with lots of crazy zombies with sticks and chainsaws!
Below is a quick 2-min video of our fun there!

I’m going to have a bash at uploading photos to Google Picasa-
Want to see how it goes for a while, uploading and organising slideshows etc. for the blog… plus I want to see how it goes when sharing photos with family and friends!
We’ll see what happens.
Colours of Fall
This place is amazing. I’ve never seen trees turn such crazy colours!
