Another "Everything He Touches Dies" Guy: The Deep-Sixing of Six Flags

[Sympthsical]

10. I have a Six Flags ten minutes down the highway from me

Every time I think about going or a friend asks, it's just . . . nah. There's no draw outside of the rides themselves, and you're often standing around otherwise. The place is right there - I pass it every time I drive to the office - and I just could not be less interested.

Now Disneyland I love going to. Even as an adult, it's a complete blast to go with friends, bounce around the park, just chill, and take in the nostalgia. They have their various fast pass systems where you make your appointment for a ride and then go do something else. With even light organization, you can do pretty much whatever you want to do.

There's no compelling reason to hang out at a Six Flags. Nothing particularly entertaining about the place itself. Stand, ride. Stand, ride. Stand . . . stand . . . stand.

It's not even that expensive. $70 for a season pass of unlimited admission to a park 10 minutes down the street. And it's still like, nah, I'm good.
