My High School Life & My Dream Job

Now for many of you who don't know, I go to high school.  I am a senior at high school which means it's my last year of school.  I currently have no plans about going to college.  I mean I would like to learn how to become a roller coaster designer for an actual company.  However, there's a couple things in the way of that. 

First off, I have very poor math skills.  Because of this, the engineering of the rides would be difficult for me.  Also because of where I live, it would be inconvenient for me to move somewhere where there is a ride design firm.  Especially with poor math skills and no money to get there. 

The reason I can design some pretty cool coasters is because the software I use is not only realistic, but is easy to use.  If it wasn't for No Limits 2, I wouldn't be writing a blog right now.  So yeah.  I think I'll just do this as a hobby and write about my progress.

What got me inspired to start writing this blog would be the advice from one of my school teachers.  She was talking about how she was writing a blog about her bike racing.  She told me that writing something I'm actually interested in would probably be a good idea.

During 4th hour at school after lunch, me and a couple of friends would talk about theme parks while walking the indoor track.  One of my friends mainly talks about Disney Parks and sometimes about Universal.  My other friend who used to live in Louisiana, would sometimes talk about Six Flags Over Texas.  And I would talk about wanting to travel to other amusement parks around the country.  Places like Cedar Point, popular Six Flags parks and Universal Orlando.

Now if it was something I wanted to do, it would be to travel to different amusement parks and write reviews about them on my blog.  I would like to do a road trip from Minnesota to Ohio.  Making stops at Wisconsin Dells, Six Flags Great America, Cedar Point and Kings Island.  I would also like to someday fly down to South California and visit the Disneyland Resort, Knotts Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain.  I would also like to visit Universal Orlando for the first time and go back to Six Flags Over Texas.

Now from what I've seen on the internet, Six Flags Over Texas has changed quite a bit.  The most notable changes since I was there (back in 2005) would be the addition of a spinning coaster as well as the Texas Giant being transformed into the New Texas Giant, the removal of an old shuttle coaster named Flashback, the trains on Mr. Freeze are now facing backwards which renamed the ride Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast and finally, the Texas SkyScreamer which stands at 400 feet tall making it the tallest ride at Six Flags Over Texas.

So yeah.  Maybe someday I might just have enough money to travel to different theme parks and be able to write reviews about them.  And maybe someday I could also make that into a living.

That's all I have for now.  Thanks for reading.
