First of all let me get something straight. This is a JOURNAL not a diary. I know what the name of this blog is but when Mom made me this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her to pick a title without the word “diary” in it. Great. Now all I need is for some kid to catch me looking at this website and get the wrong idea.

Discovery Kingdom-Superman

Yes, our day at Discovery Kingdom started out cold, which is why I'm wearing this jacket. My mom and I went to the Oasis Plaza area of the park....
....to check out Sky Screamer! This was the second time I rode it, but mom's first!
Later on, we went to the new Superman: Ultimate Flight. I was intimidated by its size....
....but after hanging out in a phone booth, I decided to ride it. IT WAS AWESOME! WAY BETTER THAN MEDUSA! And that is saying a lot. Not only is it a worthy replacement for Pandemonium, it's the best roller coaster in Northern California! Way to go, Six Flags! Six Flags is the company that owns Discovery Kingdom and Magic Mountain. Another new thing that we did was the wildlife show, which is the park's most "hidden" gem.
Be sure to check out this show as well as Superman! Until then, Ben Out!

Santa Cruz and Discovery Kingdom 2

It's been a crazy summer, but I went to some theme parks already. Before we went to Hawaii, we went to Santa Cruz and Discovery Kingdom. Here are some photos from them:
 Double Shot
 Pirate Ship
 Cave Train
 Ghost Blasters entrance. It took the park a while to fix this ride and we did get to go on it.
The aftermath of Logger's Revenge 
 Riding solo on the Ark
 Superman: Ultimate Flight (which is now open)
 Odin's Temple of the Tiger
 Wave Jumper
 Wave Swinger
Shouka!
While in Hawaii, we went to a fun water park called Wet N Wild. It had rides like the Tornado, Flyin' Hawaiian (which we did twice), and Surf Rider (We also did that one twice). The highlight was when mom dropped on the Tornado BACKWARDS!
When we got back we went to the Alameda County Fair. The bad news is I don't have any pictures of it. The good news is we're going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom next wednesday, where I may try out Superman Ultimate Flight! Until then, Ben out!
