We all arrived at Kate's house around 11am and dropped off our overnight stuff, got all of our sunscreen on, and started the over an hour drive to six flags. In the car ride we all listened to and sang along to our favorite songs. I had my phone charging in the front since I forgot to charge it last night.

"I can't wait until 7pm," Amy says.

"Me too! I'm ready for the horror," Sydney laughs.

"It's going to be so fun!" Kate adds.

When we finally got there, it was almost 12:30pm so we decided to have a light lunch before heading out to go on the rides. We talked about all the rides we were going to go on and we all got so excited. I haven't been to an amusement park in years, so I'm super excited.

The rides all look extremely fun right now, but tonight I bet they'll be 10x more scary than a normal rollercoaster is. Today is going to be so fun and I'm glad I'm with my friends.

"Let's go on Tatsu first!" Sadie says.

"Yeah let's do it!"

We all head out after we're done our lunches and get in line for the ride. The line is decently long, but not that bad.

Once we got to the front of the line, we split up into group to sit in. When our ride came, we put our bags in the little storage holder and then got in our seats. I was with Amy and Sadie.

"I'm so excited!" Amy says, after she finishes buckling up.

"Same!" Sadie agrees.

"I can't wait for it to start!" I add.

The workers come and check our seat belts and soon we're flying. We all screamed as the roller coaster went through twisters and turns and went upside down. When it was over, the first thing I thought is: I want to do that again.

It was now night and the zombies were roaming around. One was coming up behind Sadie and hugged her, scaring the shit out of her. Amy took a picture and we all decided to take a bunch of pictures with the zombies. I dug through my bad for my phone and didn't find it.

"Does anyone have my phone?" I asked.

"No."

"Nope."

"Oh shit, you didn't lose it did you?"

"Did you remember to take it out of the charger in the car?"

"That's probably where it is. I don't remember having it all day. Oh well," I shrugged.

Kate took pictures of me with the zombies and said she'll send them to me later.

Throughout the night we did the horror mazes, got scared to death by jump scares, went on the rides again, got scared to death again, and soon we were leaving.

"Okay that was so fun and terrifying, I loved it," I say.

"Me too."
