We left the hotel at about 8:30 a.m. and headed for Dallas. We had talked on and off about stopping at
Six Flags Over Texas and so when we learned we could buy discounted tickets at a rest stop, we took advantage of it. We were staying at the
Sleep Inn Arlington Near Six Flags, walking distance from the park entrance. So we arrived at the hotel about 2:30 p.m. and were on our first ride by 3:00 p.m. In just under 3 hours, we did 8 major rides because the crowds were light and the lines were short. My husband's favorites were Batman and Titan. Titan has a 225' drop where you reach speeds of 85 mph. He also enjoyed the Superman Tower of Power which drops you 325'.
Temperatures reached 99*F, so it was a bit hot but we cooled off quickly after a ride on the Aquaman which left us drenched.
I have a cousin in the Dallas area who we haven't seen in many years and we had never met his wife and 3 year old son so we took advantage of this opportunity to meet up with them and have dinner with them at
Celebration Restaurant. We had a great time catching up with them.
Today we drove 383 miles for a total of 6 hours and 41 minutes.
