Assignment#8:
My feature story today is about the wonderful Six Flags Great Adventure. I choose Six Flags because it is an amazing place to visit, and if you haven’t been there before I really hope that at some point in your life you go. People also like it because it is kid friendly which means the whole family gets to go. If you have never been there before and you plan to go in the future one ride you must get on is The Kingda Ka. According to www.answers.com/topic/six-flags-inc the Kingda Ka breaks world records for the coasters speed, and height going from 0-128 mph in 3.5 seconds and going 45 stories into the sky. One time I decided to sit in the front of the Kingda Ka and when the ride started it began to pull my face back it hurt so bad, but it was fun.
According to www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/rides/KidsRides.aspx Six Flags is very kid friendly which makes more and more families come each year for example it has a section just for kids with all kinds of rides. Such as Air Safari, Bugaboo, Bugs Bunny Barnstormer, and Daffy Ducks Hot Air Balloons. I have been on some of them when I was little they are so much fun it makes you want to ride them again and again. They also have a water park just for kinds and toddlers called Splashwater Oasis, which they just added. Finally they also have a fun tour for kids so that they can see the beautiful safari this ride is called "Safari Tours" .
Also www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Flags_Great_Adventure says some interesting things about six flags history. For example it was opened in 1974 under Waner Leroy's vision of a seven park complex named Great Adventure. Six Flags took ownership of the park in 1977. The park today contains eleven themed areas, which for are designed for children. Also Six Flags, Inc. is the world's largest regional theme park company and the second leading amusement park. Twenty-four of the company's parks are branded with the Six Flags name. Finally, That park had been opened in 1958.
According to www.ketupa.net Six Flags Inc. has more than 20 parks in 14 major cities in the United States, plus Mexico and Canada. Six Flags offers a wide selection of nonprophet organizations, and local relationships with their community. The first park was opened in Texas. There are two Six Flags parks in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, three in Atlanta, one in Chicago, one in Louisville, one in New Orleans (which as of 2009 is still closed due to damage from Hurricane Katrina), one in Baltimore/Washington D.C., one in Springfield, Mass., one in St. Louis, three in Jackson, N.J., two in Lake George, N.Y., one in San Antonio, two in Arlington, Texas (including the original park), one in Montreal and one in Mexico City.
Finally,http://www.ridezone.com/ says Six Flags features three types of parks animal parks, water parks and theme parks. Theme parks offer variety of rides to suit all different ages. There are some common rides among the parks, but each park also has rides and attractions that are similar to its theme. One example is Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in San Francisco, which offers Dolphin Discovery, where guests have the opportunity to have fun with the dolphins in the water. What can get you great deals on tickets season passes. Season passes are offered at a discounted rate if they are purchased early. For example, if you are purchasing a 2010 season pass, it is less expensive if you purchase it in the fall of 2009. So as you can see six flags is really big in a lot of places and the things there can explain why. I can truly say it's an amazing place.
