Six Flags Over Texas fan here. Runaway Mine Train (the real first tubular steel coaster, not Disneyland's Cattergorhn Bobsleds!), Runaway Mountain, Aquaman, and the Log Flume were must-rides when I went for World Youth Days! I even rode the Mr. Freeze once. Keyword: Once. I was barely tall enough... XD I miss the old Texas Giant - it was the last fully wooden roller coaster according to a friend - and I always wanted to ride the Wildcatter, but they replaced it with Tony Hawk's Big Spin before I could. Don't get me wrong, I love a good spinning wild mouse, but they still have the Wildcatter in RCT2 and that was when you couldn't ride the rides. Ah well, as Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Living here, I would have certain go-tos for each park. Sadly, many of my go-tos (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Mission to Mars, If You Had Wings (later Dream Flight), the original Journey into Imagination, World of Motion, Cranium Command, The Great Movie Ride, and The Monster Sound Show), are no longer there. I guess I have a fondness for things most would consider lame. Oh, well.
That happens to me a lot, not just with places but with things like food too. I can't even count how many times I'd be buying something at the store that I really like, only for it to just vanish off the shelves later, never to be seen again. Just think, The Otherworld has all that food available, too, not just the places.
