Life is always changing and it is really changing for us.
Namely Bond in a few weeks is leaving home to move several hundred miles
away and he is getting married.
I don't have a little boy anymore.
The days of deciding to just take the boy and head out to a park
whenever we needed a day of coasters is coming to an end. What did
I do on one of the few free weekends before the wedding...I grabbed my
boy and headed out for a day at the park for just the two of us.
Feeling a little bit nostalgic to back when I was a kid we headed off to
The Demon to start off the day.
I remember back to when I was little the rides that dominated the
skyline the then Marriott's Great America was the Sky Trek Tower, the
Sky Whirl and The Demon.
Despite The Demon being some forty-three years old Six Flags Great
America has added some of the old fun back to the ride. Not only
were they playing the old Demon song in the queue but the sound effects
have returned to the Demon cave.
