The kids at school have been yakking about Six Flags and DD is determined to go. I grew up going to Six Flags Over Texas yearly and DH grew up going to the now defunct Six Flags Astroworld. So we know what it's all about and wonder if she'll be let down once she compares it to WDW.
At any rate, we had been pricing a trip to SFOT and between the gas, hotel for 2 nights, tickets, parking, food, etc., it could easily run $500-600 for one measly day there. I hate to spend that much for one day.
We may have an opportunity to go to DC over the summer (we've already been a few times, so we've seen some of the biggies) and I understand that Six Flags America is nearby. Could anyone who has been there please tell me anything and everything you know about it? It wouldn't put nearly so big a dent in the budget to go there if we're already in the DC area. Just a bit of gas, entry tickets, food and we're done. But I have no idea what it's like, so I'd appreciate any info you can share.
Before anyone says they wouldn't waste a day of a DC trip to go to Six Flags, bear in mind, that is the ONLY thing she has asked to do this summer and she's got her heart set on it.
THANKS!!!!
