This might not apply to everyone as I’ve talked to people that have no memories of before they were like 10, but, I have memories of going to astroworld in the early 90s when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I specifically remember ultratwister as looking insane and just having my mind blown watching it. I also remember Texas Cyclone as being just huge and loud. I was reassured by my parents that next year I would be tall enough to ride, but alas, we moved out califori-way and I never got any of the creds. Oh well, still lives on in my memory as a fun time.
I was 5 and remember my brothers mentioning our uncle was gonna come by and take us to Six Flags. I spent the whole week prior to his arrival daydreaming how much fun it would be, I’d even lost some sleep because of it. The day finally arrived and my uncle put me aside and said I couldn’t go because most of the rides were not appropriate for my height so it would be best to stay home with my grandmother. That day helped me realize it’s best not to have expectations to spare yourself from disappointment.
