The great Houdini

Growing up in New Jersey, many of my greatest memories are based around Six Flags: Great Adventure. For those of you who don't know me, I am a massive thrill seeker and an adrenaline junkie. Send me to the biggest baddest roller coaster out there and I will wreck that thing in a second. I can never get enough. However, surprisingly so, I am not here to talk about roller coasters. I'm here to talk about what is possibly the most underrated ride at six flags. The name of it is simply "Houdini". Even on the busiest days of the year, it never fails to have the shortest line. (partially due to the fact that it looks like a house there for decorative purposes) if you're a fan of illusions, magic, or trickery of the mind in general like me you will adore it, whoever designed the ride is an absolute genius. The beginning is a bit cheesy and haunted house kiddie ride-esque, but as soon as the ride starts-your mind will be blown. No joke. I'm still not quite sure how they do it, but you sit in bench seats with nothing but a bar in front of you. However, you go upside down (or feel as though you are going upside down) several times although the restraints barely touch your body. This is because part of the time the walls are moving, and part of the time you actually are moving from side to side. If you do get a chance to experience the ride take a look at the exit signs before the ride and then during-its incredible. This ride certainly doesn't receive the praise it deserves. If you ever find yourself at six flags great advrenture, give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.
