Day 40 - 7/30

Today we went to Six Flags in Eureka, Missouri. It was the last Six Flags park that we'll go to on our vacation. Even though it's slightly smaller than the ones we went to on the East Coast, it was still loads of fun. Some of the rides we went on was Batman, Screamin' Eagle, and a Scooby Doo ride. Batman was similar to the Batman rides we went on at the other parks, except this one had two little jerks near the end which really made the ride way better. Screamin' Eagle was the first ride we went on. It was a wooden rollercoaster and was a lot faster than I thought it would be. If you sat in the back, it would jerk around quite a bit. My favorite ride of the day was the Scooby Doo Scary Swamp. I liked it mostly because it was Scooby Doo themed, but the exit of the ride was also air conditioned. It was a game played on a free floating raft and players could, with a laser gun, shoot different targets for points. There was a Mystery Machine situated outside the ride. We were able to get a picture with Shaggy, Scrappy, and Scooby.  It was the best moment of the day.

To escape the heat, we also went to the water park. There was a place where people could race each other down a giant waterslide. On the second hill of the waterslide, if you pulled up you could get some air. I told my dad this, but instead of pulling up just a little bit, he pulled hard and sent his whole body flying. He's okay, but it was funny watching it. There was also a tube slide that I convinced Mom to go on. Rachel and Emily also enjoyed the water playground. I also had fun playing with Julia as she was wearing a lifejacket the same size as her body. Meanwhile, the boys and Lydia liked the wave pool. It would simulate waves that people could swim in. We all enjoyed the water park thoroughly.
