Lisa, Mike, Jess and I went to Holiday in the Park yesterday at Six Flags. I’d never been before. We had a pretty good time, but it is a bit of a ripoff, really.
Most people (not us, thankfully) are paying full price to get in ($20 – $30, depending on if you have a Coke can or not, which is also quite a stupid situation). yet at least 1/3 of the rides are closed. No Batman the Ride, no Mr. Freeze. In fact, that whole section of the park is closed. No Flashback. No Texas Giant. No Cliffhanger (or whatever it’s called these days). None of the water rides (obviously).
To make it worse, on a regular day in the regular season, you could get there at 10am and stay until 10pm, enjoy 12 full hours of waiting in line. But Holiday in the Park is only open from 4pm to 10pm, cutting your time in half. Add to that the fact that of all the times I’ve ever gone to Six Flags yesterday was by *far* the busiest and it doesn’t really seem like you’re getting your money’s worth. I mean, we had a good time. And our tickets were only $10. But still, it seems a bit silly.
