Six Flags or Sea World


Recommended Posts

I hate amusement parks.

There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

We don't have either one of those in WA, so I can't say.

 

They have Sea World in the Goldcoast, though, so whenever it is that I go there, I'll suss it out.

I prefer Singapore's Underwater World on Sentosa Island. Gives you free tickets to the Dolphin Lagoon too :-

I have at least heard of Sea World, though I can't remember why. Possibly they had a famous whale or were in a movie or something? Google tells me Six Flags is a chain of theme parks, the largest in the world. You learn something new every day.

 

My favourite theme park is, without a doubt, Haus Ten Bosch in Japan. Who would have thought a Dutch-based theme park would be so much fun? :-

I think their Florida park had Shamu, or at least Keiko. Maybe I'm mixing up my whales.

 

There's a really old park in Denver, Elitch Gardens, that Six Flags bought out. So far as I can tell, most all Six Flags are like that. They're amusement parks (think carnivals and such) as opposed to theme parks (Disneyland, Universal Studios, etc.) which extends their novelty a bit longer.

I don't think I'd ever go there unless I had kids.

 

 

Kids I hated.

I'm not much of an amusement park person. I grew up about 40 minute drive away from the Six Flags in NJ, and I'd go every once in awhile along with some activity/group I was a member of. The amount of fun I had was always a result of how much I enjoyed being with the people I went with, rather than any of the park's activities. There were a couple of rides that were not to be missed (old-style wooden rollercoasters FTW!!), but they weren't worth actually paying the cost of admission.

 

I've been to a Sea World only once, when I was six. I don't really understand why anyone would want to combine a theme park with an aquarium.

I'm pretty sure Shamu was here in Texas.

 

Been to both a few times, I much prefer Six Flags. The rides, the arcades. I beat Killer Instinct 2 so many times at Six Flags. All of them with the Werewolf guy on just one credit.

Sea World in San Diego is a terrible place to go. All you would be tourists and transplants stay away. Go to six flags and have a great time.

 

 

Our Zoo is also not so great go to the one in New York or something.

At least in San Antonio Sea World has two coasters The Great White And Steel eel but iprefer six flags with the rattler poltregeist and superman

They are all called Shamu. o:)

 

Sea World for me! It's just a two hour drive form me.

Wow, you're right. They're all called Shamu, but the only one to have the name Shamu was the first one in San Diego. :woot:

 

These are the San Antonio ones: Taku, Kyuquot, Keet, Unna, Tuar, and Halyn. I don't know which was there when I went.

 

Edit: And holy crap, Orcas (Killer Whales) are actually classified as Dolphins! Thinking about it, I shouldn't be that surprised.

Yup, that is true.

I find it interesting that their dorsal fins flop over in captivity and never go back, like they lose the will to live. Of course its hysterical to watch the fools in the front rows get soaked so Im torn on the whole thing.

I think equating the dorsal fins flopping over to losing the will to live is quite a leap. I'd sooner think it's a physical effect of a small tank compared to a big ocean over psychological affect.
