Flashback's track just glows in the morning sun.
After leaving Kemah the afternoon before we fought our way through Houston's
insane traffic to get to Six Flags Over Texas with just a hour and a half
before the park closed. Most people would just say "forget it"
and go to the hotel or go get dinner but we three intrepid souls took the
chance and headed into the park.
We had figured that Saturday would be busy so we hoped to knock out several
coasters that evening so we wouldn't have to worry about cramming them into
the next day. We ended up doing pretty well in our short time there
by riding Titan, the Texas Giant, Shock Wave, Mini Mine Train, Mr. Freeze
and almost Batman.
I say almost Batman because after riding Mr. Freeze we saw that Batman's
queue was still open so we sped through its labyrinthine maze of lines in
hopes of getting one last ride. We entered the station unfortunately
to find that Batman was no longer accepting riders. One could get
a little miffed about the fact that they did not close their queue but still
we scored a ton of rides in an extremely short time so I was still pleased.
