Six Flags

Cake served with a little disappointment.

My kids got all excited as we were driving by Six Flags and got off the exit to go look at the cake there. It reminded me of the times my family and I went when I was younger and we got all excited see the Colossus from the highway. I however, am not a ride person, but it was still exciting to go to Six Flags! I remember the first time my mom and dad took us to six flags. I was maybe 6 and we rode Thunder River. My mom and I got stuck under the waterfall and were soaking wet!

Just by hearing the name Six Flags, so many notorious rides pop into my head, The Screaming Eagle, The Ninja, The Log Flume, Tidal Wave, and of course my all-time favorite, the bumper cars. So when I went to see the cake at Six Flags I was expecting to see a cake decorated with some of the rides that everyone is familiar with that makes Six Flags so popular. Instead, I found a cake with animals all over it. I was a bit disappointed in it. It seemed like it belonged at the St. Louis Zoo, not Six Flags. Don’t get me wrong, it was a nice cake, I was just expecting something different. However, I did hear that some of the artists that decorated these cakes weren’t told where their cakes would go and were told to just do a generic design. Even still, I think this one should have had more of a Six Flags feeling than a zoo feeling.
