Photo TR: Six Flags Magic Mountain

Well we are back, and we had quite a journey. Overall Magic Mountian was fun, but really hot

 

We brought the stroller and are VERY glad we did, the ones at six flags would not have worked at all

 

We left on July 13th at 7am and planned to be in Long Beach at my brothers house around 9pm, ah but the tire gods had other plans, we got a flat in the middle of the desert, no cell signal, perfect

 

Well we unpacked the trunk and put on the emergency spare and drove slowly to Kingman, Arizona, which was like 100 miles away, we were "lucky" they had a Walmart with a tire center

 

We move all of our stuff from the trunk to the backseat, load up the kids on a cart and head inside the store. I check the car in, and am told we are the next to go in, so it should be about 45minutes, I then ask for the tire on sale for $37

 

We go inside walmart and walk around for awhile and about 45min later hear our name being called overhead, I head back overthere and am told the "mechanic" canot find my car, I then point them to the car closest to the garage door, yes it was the very first car, about 12 feet from the door, and the only car like it in the lot, concerns are rising in my brain

 

We spend another hour wondering around walmart untill finally I walk back to find a diffrent person behind the counter and a HUGE line. My car is done so I wait in line for 45minutes, when I finally get up there, they cannot find my ticket, and the lady asks if I remembered to leave the key, OK at this point I am livid, I try to tell her it is the second one hanging on the wall, I can see my key, but she does not listen and goes and gets the manager, I was right the other lady rewrote the tag, FINALLy I'm wrung up, and it comes to $97 WTF!!!!!!!!!, I ask why its so high, the lady asks if I remembered that there are taxes?, I calmly reply that I doubt the taxes would add up to $50

 

Well instead of putting the sale tire on, they put on the most expensive tire they had in stock, a Goodyear touring VR tire, nice, but I asked for the cheap tire not the $70 tire

 

I end up waiting another 30 minutes and I finally get the tire for $37 and we leave without hesitation

 

AVOID THE KINGMAN WALMART

 

Anyway, the rest of the trip there went without incident, ecept traffic in L.A., at midnight, WOOHOO SoCal

 

We make our way to the park on the 17th, of course traffic is horrible and we end up getting there at around 10:30am. As soon as we get out of the car, we know its going to be hot, supposed to of gotten up to 96, or 36C

 

We walk in using our 2 for 1 coke cans and quickly head for Revolution, we take a quick ride on that and head back to the main entrance

 

Robb called and said he would be able to come down and meet, very cool, both Elissa and Robb arrived and we went right to Collosus, then Scream, and finally Batman, very cool.

 

I know they were very VERY busy, so thanks again, it was way cool meeting you guys, and I appreciate you taking the time to come down, oh and thatnks for the fast trip to Goliath.

 

After Robb and Elissa left we went to the Mooseburger Lodge, where my mom had chicken with feathers and a ballon man came, and was actually alot of fun

 

 

After that we went and rode Viper, Ninja, and finished with Goliath, we were VERY hot and tired, so we left.

 

Its was a very fun day at SFMM, and meeting the Alveys was way cool, but it was also misrably hot, and when we left we stopped and I got and drank a litre bottle of Gatoraid

 

Well the trip home was much more boring, except for the fact that it was like 120, or 48.8C, yeah hot, we took it slow, and madeit home at around 2am

Robb and Elissa arrived and we went on Collosus, Scream, and Batman

Started with a quick ride on Revolution

Even the Baby is fine with the temp, for now

We live in Albuquerque, we can take the heat

As soon as we stepped out of the car, my brother realised it was hot

WE MADE IT, wow those coasters are big

Ahhhhh, socal traffic

Not sure if this is a general warning for California, or just the building its attached to

We took your guys advice and brought the stroller, it barley fits in my little car

Sorry filled up the attachments, here's more

yup just about 2am, we are tired

YEAH ALBUQUERQUE, nothing like driving through nothing then coming across a big city

Even the baby is ready to be out of the car

There were storms on the way home, and 120 degree temps
