Tanning oil is basically frying your skin like a human chip, it's much better to invest in a waterproof fake tan. Six Flags is a theme/water park, I think :) tanning can lead to dreadful skin diseases and cancers later on in life. Avoid the sunshine or cover up in the hours of 11-3, when the sun is at its highest, and invest in a good sunBLOCK.

There are a number of oils out there, it really depends on how dark you want to go and how quick. Just know that the more potent the oil, the more damaging it can be. I believe Banana Boat has a few good oils. If you want to save some money and try a self tan lotion, I recommend either Fake Bake Flawless or Banana Boat Sunless Self Tanner. Both work great! Banana boat is cheaper, so it can streak a little if you're not careful applying it. Fake Bake comes with an applicator to help with that! Here's a before and after of Fake Bake Flawless (She used 2 coats total) you can get it on Amazon for less than $20, Banana Boat is around $8 :) I hope I helped!

And here are some tanning oils! Hawaiian Tropic on left, Banana Boat on right :) Even Coconut or Baby oil can help darken you quicker! I still recommend the lotion over fake tanning, but that's just because I'm freaked out by tanning beds lol :) I hope you have fun! Xx

Thank you!
I honestly love a good even tan all over but I have a banana boat with sunscreen in it. I don't have time to sit outside n tan. I work 2 jobs n always get done at night. I will only go in for 5 min. I take very good care of my skin. I tan easily due to Hispanic roots. I'm just not as dark as I used to be, when I saw daylight! LML. Thanks ladies.
