A Night At Fright Fest

For halloween i went to Fright Fest at Six Flags. I went on a bus ride with some of my family and friends i have known since i was little. It was fun going on a bus ride with friends and family beause i was able to pick pack up on the things me and my friends miss with each other. When we arrive at Six Flags thats when the games begun. People with costums on would chase after you and try to scare you. If you were not scared it really didnt matter they would try to scare you the best way they could. After being chase down by the scary faces and costums me and my cousin went to the batman ride. As we got seated on the ride and got strap in the cart being to move slowly and then blast off we were going through twirls and flips and going up side down. This was the best ride ever.
