I remember I went to six flags, October 7, 2005 to Six Flag Great America and people dressed up like pirates but with no face but like it’s falling and then there was some aliens and sadder clown but like joker clowns and mean ones too and no one finds me and my friends were crying. Because they will touch you, scare you, run after you if you go on a ride alone they go with you and they will cut the line and people screaming, crying, running. And even people will run to a ride and they take a picture with you and then there were isrbes and it was because it was Halloween you are supposed scary you and that the fun part. The End.
