We went to Great America a couple weeks ago. The kids had Read To Succeed free passes from school and we had extras from our sister in law, Jeanna. We brought along Joe & our friends Jack & Kelley too and had a great time. We anticipated the crowd and purchased a 3 person Gold Flash Pass which allowed us to jump to the front of pretty much every ride. The Eagle was not included on the Flash Pass so we waited in line for about 40 minutes. Joe said he is never waiting in a line ever again since he had experienced the world of Flash Pass. During 6 hrs of park time (I subtracted eating & waterpark) Joe was able to ride 14 rides. That is awesome. The Flash Pass is the way to go, worth every penny.
After we ate lunch we decided to hit the waterpark. Caroline had her suit on under her clothes so just stripped down at the car. Now park rules are no bathing suits. We saw plenty of kids with their suits on going on rides so we thought it wouldn't be a problem to let Caroline walk through the park to the Waterpark entrance wearing hers. So we all go through the line and enter the park and I turn around. "Where's Caroline?" of course. She's standing on the outside of the gate looking sad. They won;t let her in without shorts. We look around and can see from where we are standing 5 or 6 kids with just their suits on. UGH. Luckily the rest of us hadn't changed yet so grabbed Joe's trunks from the bag and gave them to a worker to give to her. That's where the picture of Snookie above comes in. We walked behind this girl - IN HER BATHING SUIT - all the way from the front gate to the waterpark. But Caroline has to put shorts on. I sent an email ab out inconsistent park policies and training their people better. Joe also was a little creeped out I was taking the girl's picture with my phone.
The day was a blast. Joe made me go on Superman and I held back the tears. We went on Viper last and it is my new favorite ride. So much fun. Joe won prizes for Caroline & Kelley, Steven won his own since he lad all day as he doesn't go on rides. We did manage to get Kelley & Steven to go on Roarin Rapids and they had fun. Mostly because I got drenched - always very funny. We can't wait to go back again. Next year is Season Pass time I think.
