post 382. at great escape.

jack, mike and i finally used the free tickets to six flags great escape that we got with signing our summer contracts. good times were had by all; and while it was post-labor day and we found more rides closed than open, the comet - a roller coaster that's been in two other places before here in warren county - proved to be one of the best roller coasters i've been on; it makes coney island's feel like a fall in the pillow factory.


here is the first pinnacle of the comet, and we took two rides on before hearing the next line roll up the hill and then suddenly stop. then, over the microphone, we hear the people working the ride announce that they'll have to call maintenance. have fun up there, kids!

you have no idea what i had to go through to get this shitty copy of six flags' picture of us on the comet. jack has his usual angry face; mike is holding on quite steadfastly; and i'm the idjit in the back.

one summer, two batmobiles. 'nuff said.

nothing like a cone from martha's after a long afternoon of amusement parking.
