Six Flags

Thrillville: Off the Rails
$19.99
Lucasarts makes great games. This one combines a nice strategy/mission of running a park w/simple adding marketing, training staff, building stalls, rides & games to make the customers happy. It's done simply that anyone over 10 years should be able to figure out. I dislike this type of game, but I found myself enjoying it. With a nice story that you run the park against sabotage from a rival theme park owner, etc. Finding your way around the park or transporting yourself immediately to a game, ride or person instantly is easy. The sounds help immerse you into the game, there's real voice acting for all interactions (you can FFW them) & there's real songs in the menu, cheer leading game, etc. The Doc Brown like character as the park owner is a nice touch.
freezing in main game
I did have a freezing issue, though mine happens after an hour straight of play. It never happens in the party/mini game section, just the main adventure area. I now save often after winning a game or mission which is annoying, but the only part of the game I found a let down.

Six Flags Great Adventure (Images of America)
$21.99
The book has a lot of nice pictures of Great Adventure, but I felt that the history was lacking. The book introduction states that "This is the amazing history of Six Flags Great Adventure." But then you read the book and there is no mention of the haunted house fire that killed 8 teens! I am amazed that this is overlooked since it was the largest death toll in a haunted attraction ever...and lead to changes and closures of haunted attractions nationwide. The book also failed to mention any of the other mishaps that occured at the park...like the girl who was killed on the Lighting Loops. At times, I felt like I was reading a history book about Germany that failed to mention WWII. I guess this is what happens when you get most of your pictures from the park itself...they ban you from mentioning anything bad.

The book, however, was still interesting and informative.
