April 15th

My wife and I took our sons to the local Six Flags amusement park (Great Adventure - Jackson, NJ) today. I've visited there many times in my life, and it's always suffered in comparison to Disney parks. This visit was different. It seems like Six Flags is making a concerted effort to remodel themselves in the Disney image (which is a good thing. In the past, it always felt like visiting Great Adventure was like going to a permanent carnival, with no themes or stories attached to the rides.) The main reason for this change in direction is the presence of the new CEO of Six Flags, Mark Shapiro. I'm going to let him know how my family enjoyed our visit and that we'll be back.
