Fast Pass

Rollercoasters
My daughter
and I were at Six Flags Magic Mountain with the intention of riding
rollercoasters. They have some of the best ones in the country so we decided to take a road trip from Colorado to California for this purpose.
Entering the park and being in line with the
thousands of other people who had the exact same idea was a little
discouraging. My daughter was in a panic mode wanting to change lines in order
to make it to the front more quickly. I reminded her several times to just
breathe soon enough we will be there and I had a plan.
The plan was fast pass.
The way fast pass works is
you pay almost 2x the amount of the actual ticket but you get a contraption
that allows you to enter all the rides from the exit door and be on the
rollercoaster with out waiting in line. Some of the lines were 2 hours long,
most were 1 hour wait time.
We did have to wait in a line
for the fast pass however once we had the contraption in our hands we were off
with a mission. In 6 hours we were able to ride all of the major rollercoasters
in the park and have a nice hour lunch break in the middle of it all.
What I gathered from this
experience is there are many ways to do life and all of the different ways will
teach us different things about our selves. Flying past all the people who were
patiently waiting in the long, sweaty, tiresome lines almost felt like cheating.
I could appreciate what they were going through for the 15 seconds of thrill at
the end of the line but this was not me. It was so fun showing my daughter
another way.
I feel this way about life.
There are so many things we have been programed to just handle and accept,
however if we keep an open mind there is almost always another way.
