Six Flags over Texas Holiday in the Park

Holiday in the park is another time of year that Six Flags does something special. Of course this time celebrating the Christmas/ New Year season. Once again we were able to get free tickets and free parking from my brother. This time my husband, son and I came and we also had a great time.
For Holiday in the park there are all kinds of Christmas Decorations everywhere, and several Christmas trees in every area. There is a snow hill that you can slide down on a little sled and a few other little things for the holiday spirit. My brother was in another show, this time though only my son and my mom went. My husband and I choose to ride as many rides as possible.
At Six Flags they have a special area for the younger kids. My son somewhat enjoyed this. He was still a little too small and unsure but we got him to try a few things. They have trucks, a train, some games and a few other kids rides.
During the holiday times they do have different hours. You will have to check there web site for those hours around that time of year. Holiday in the park usually runs from early December till the last day of December. The cost of admission is $47 for adults and $34.99 for kids and 2 and under are free. There is usually a $10 parking fee and of course all food, drinks and souvenirs will cost.
Six Flags anytime of year is a fun and enjoyable experience if you like roller coasters, shows and culture. There is plenty to do and see and also some fun food and activities. The price is a little high but well worth it.

Six Flags Fright Fest

I have been to six flags so many times I can’t even count them. Every time I go I feel like it has been my first time. I have been to Fright night in the past but this experience was one of the funniest ones. Just myself and one other very good friend of mine went. We spent a few hours there since we had to get back for something but it was well worth it.
My brother was working there at the time so we were able to get free parking and free entrance. Of course this makes the experience much better because we did not have to pay for anything. We started the day off by going to the Titan; of course this is the best ride and the longest line. We did not have to wait for too long in the line and we decided to ride it again right away. After that we road a few more rides including the Batman ride, Super man and all the other super hero rides. By this time we running close to the time we were supposed to meat my brother for his show.
He was one of the actors in the Halloween Show, since my brother worked there he got us seats right up in front and made sure we were able to get into the show in time. He took us through some of the back ways to get to the theater faster. The show was amazing and I was glad we got to sit in front. I had never been to a show at six flags so it was cool to experience that. I recommend checking out a show if you every go to six flags.
The thing that makes Fright fest so different is that it is decorated for the Halloween Season. There are decorations on every tree. There is a huge spider on the tower, and other little things here and there. They have 3 or 4 haunted houses, and at night scary people dressed up walk around acting weird.

Six Flags over Texas

Last year my daughter and I got season passes for Six Flags over Texas. This amusement park has lots to offer and when you can come and go as you please it just gets better.
They have added 10 new rides over the last year and although they are mostly carnival fare, the experience is still wholesome and affordable.
My first employment ever was Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. When I finished my three-month tour all those years ago I thought I would not be coming back. We went 6 times last year.
The park is clean the staff seem kind and approachable for directions. The big thing is that I don't feel I am being gouged at the restaurants and shops. As a matter of fact I bought some Scooby Doo underwear on sale! Maybe I am sharing too much…
Definitely worth the price of admission.

Woo Wee. I typically love amusement parks but this is the most Ghetto one I have ever been to. We only go because it is local, but last time we went, they ran out, yes ran out (how can you run out of stuff) of Turkey legs! And a fight broke out between adults at one of the food places. It's dirty, it's raggedy, and it's not one of my favorite places to go. They have done a good job at including rides and games for the younger crowd (3-7), but that effort resembles a roving carnival. For $45 a pop plus parking, it's not worth it. I do not recommend this park.

It's a little hot in the summer and a little cold in the winter, but if you hit it at the right times . . . Six Flags can be a really great time for the whole family. The characters provide great fun for the kids (given they're not afraid of the HUGE cartoon characters) and the park has really done a lot of work in the past few years to weed out the "gangs" of teenagers given a $60 pass and a license to drive the rest of the world crazy (aka the kids that mom & dad dump off at the park for the day so they don't have to deal with them), so it's much more pleasant for families. The shows have gotten a little less entertaining, but they're also shorter which again, works well for families especially with smaller children who cannot sit still for an hour long show (or even 30 minutes for that matter).
