How I Spent My Summer Vacation (Part II)

This is where I'm gonna put some of the photos I took during last week's visit to Six Flags over Texas.

"New" Texas Giant - The main reason I've gone to this park two years in a row-

Super smooth, and filled with TONS of airtime- it's so forceful, it actually ripped one of my keychains right off it's loop.

A view of the Texas Giant from the Oil Derrick observation deck.

If you look closely, you can see three rides going at once in this shot- Batman is in it's first vertical loop, Superman: Tower of Power is launching up, and Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast is going through the overbanked curve

Shock Wave, which opened in 1978, is still an amazingly fun, smooth ride.

It's a classic design from Anton Schwarzkopf, one of the greatest steel coaster designers.

A newer ride that really packs a punch is Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast

Mr. Freeze looks down at the guests...

Snapped this AS the train was launching.

I'll post more as I get them sorted out- I got a lot of pictures of different attractions and details of the park, including still photos inside the park's fun little dark ride/boat ride.
