Theme Park Wars
It is a hot, sunny day in the middle of August. School's out for the summer, and you have nothing to do. You and your friends decide to go to a theme park for a day, but which one will you go to? California has three major theme parks; Universal Studios, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Disneyland. Disneyland is for sissies, and you are no sissy, so it's between Universal Studios and Magic Mountain. Each has its own unique experience, and depending on the type of person you are, one is better than the other. The only reason to go to a theme park is for its attractions. Magic Mountain contains many rollercoasters. These rides are very fun, but only people above forty-eight inches (fifty-four inches on some rides) can enjoy them. The rollercoasters have spins, turns, corkscrews, and loops. Magic Mountain does not leav
e children out though. There is a child's area where kids can enjoy themselves, but it is very small. Universal, however, offers mainly shows, where people sit down and watch "live action movies." The shows Spending an entire day at a theme park can be very costly. One "adult" ticket at Magic Mountain ("adult" constitutes being taller than forty-eight inches) costs $37.00. You can get a twicket also, which allows you to get into the park at a later date for only one to five dollars, depending on the season. It costs $70.00 for a season pass, but you do not get free parking. Each automobile costs seven dollars to park. Tickets to Universal cost $39.00 each, and parking is also seven dollars per automobile. The season passes cost five dollars more than Six Flags charges, but you are given free parking privileges. Food is outrageous
