A trip to Six Flags over Texas

Rachel (my niece) and I just returned from a trip to Six Flags over Texas on Labor Day. You see, I thought Labor Day would be the perfect time to visit this amusement park and oh, how wrong I was. We arrived there at 10:10 AM and noticed none of the rides were running. So, I called Six Flags and asked their hours of operation, which were 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM. Wow! We could've slept in another hour, so we meandered to the mall and looked around at Barnes and Noble and journeyed back to the park around elevenish. Now, the park had really started to get backed up; however, I thought that maybe everyone was just like us and was returning back after arriving earlier. After finding us a parking place (in back fourty), I thought, wow, I wished I would've paid for premier parking (basically close to the park). Nevertheless, we enjoyed our long trek to the park, looking all the time for the tram to come and pick us up. Finally, entering the gates, the lines seemed extremely long and afterwards getting inside the park, I believe everyone else in D/FW had the same thought as I did. Little did I know that Labor Day was the day that Season Pass holders could bring a friend free and boy did they ever do that. The park was so crowded, even the restaurants and snack stands had a long waiting ling. Rachel likes nothing more than lemonade and seemed like everywhere we went, all the stands were out of lemonade. To make a long story short, you can tell we got very little rides and took forever to try to satisfy our thirst, so around 4:00, I asked Rachel if she was ready as I was and of course, she said yes. I think that was the worst experience I had ever had at the park, since Six Flags is one of my favorites. Hopefully, the next time I visit, the park will be managed better.
