My work day yesterday consisted of taking a couple of kids to Six Flags Marine World. I had not been there since they put in all the roller coasters. These kids had season passes and were going to pay the $10 for my admission with a coupon if I drove them there, to repay me for always buying them food and treating them so kindly. (However, that morning, their mom got mad at someone and refused to give them their allowance, so I had to pay anyways. They will get me a DVD of my choice in the near future.)

Just as we were getting there, one of the kids mentioned that he hopes none of the rides break down as we go on them, since it was Friday the 13th. I was unaware of the date, but after that, I made sure my safety harnesses were locked in good. It had been a while since I got on roller coasters, but most of the Marine World rides sucked.

Medusa was awesome. I ran out of breath screaming during the first drop.
Roar was pretty good. I usually don't go on the wooden coaster because of an irrational fear of termites, but I liked this ride.
Kong sucked. If you are not in the front, all you can see is the seat in front of you.
Zonga sucked. This one sucked more than the Giants bullpen.
I forgot what other rides we went on, but most of them were weak.

My top 3 roller coaters:
1. Top Gun (Great America)
2. Demon (Great America)
3. Goliath (Universal Studios)
(Medusa would have placed a very close 4th)
