After a week of exploring colleges and universities and then the mighty National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Carver students enjoyed a well-deserved day of fun at Six Flags Great Adventure on their way back to Norwalk.

“It is fitting that we ended our tour at Six Flag Great Adventure,” said Carver student Rodelin Constant. “We arrived in misty weather, but the weather improved as the day passed. The roller coasters Flash Vertical Velocity, Medusa, SkyScreamer, Superman, The Joker, Twister, and Kingda Ka did not disappoint. Kingda Ka is the tallest coaster in North America. It's upside-down U-shaped and goes up 45 stories. We had lots of fun and have developed new friendships, which will continue forever. A special shout out to our driver, Josh from Post Road Stages, who was with us for a second year. He greeted us politely and individually as we embarked, disembarked the bus, and transported us safely to Virginia and back home to Norwalk.”

"Kingda Ka was insane!" exclaimed another student about the park's famous 456-foot strata coaster. "Going from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds is an experience I'll never forget."

For the less daring students, themed areas like American Wilderness or Holiday in the Park provided plenty of tamer rides and attractions. The Marvel superhero characters roaming the park also made for fun selfie ops.

"This was a great way to bond, make memories, and have fun as a group one final time," said Carver CEO Novelette Peterkin, always one of the Carver college tour chaperones.

The Carver students' day at Six Flags Great Adventure ensured their Spring College Tour ended on a thrilling high note.

Back in Norwalk, they'll soon prepare for an even more excellent adventure—their following chapters in school, building their careers!
