Something fun to do with your children or by yourself at a reasonable price when you purchase the season pass. It's well worth the money!

Six Flags Over Georgia

Six Flags over Georgia is right outside of Atlanta. It's basically the same as any other Six Flags, but who cares! I loooved it there., even through it rained on my parade and they closed a couple of rides down for a few minutes. My favorite ride was every ride I went on, but one in particular was this train ride; it was hilarious because my mom (the only person I was there with) doesn't ride "scary" rides such as roller coasters. Anyway, she asked the operator if the ride was scary or if it was just a regular train. They told her it wasn't scary and it was just like a normal train ride. But was it? Nope! There were loops and goops and droops and hoops and--okay, maybe not all that, but there were a lot of hills and things. My stomach nearly popped out through my back (my new expression)--not from all of the steep hills, but from my mom squeezing me so hard! She screamed like a... a... a person who screams LOUD! Some 30-something*coughs*year-old lungs, I tell ya. Anyway, there wasn't enough time to get on everything; you need at least 2 days to see the whole park. And make sure that you look fly on the coasters, because one of them takes pictures of you! I looked... how can I put this? High.

Oh, the food. You can seriously go bankrupt eating there. Why DO they have to make it so expensive? $500 for a fry. Yep, one little fry. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a lil bit, or a lot, but it was expensive.

Hmm, what else? It was cheap to get in because we had a Coke can, or was it Pepsi? Nope, it was Coke, being that they ARE located in Atlanta. Oh! I went there, too. I still taste that ear wax-tasting soda. But I'll tell you about that later. I recommend Six Flags Over Georgia for anyone with or without kids. Gotta go, my cartoons are on. What? They are!

Ooh, the lines were very long, I waited in roller coaster lines for maybe 40 minutes each. Hot weather equals crowds.

[Don't get me started on the water ride I went on. I was the only one on the whole ride to get SOAKED because the other people knew where to sit. How was I to know that we were going under a WATERFALL? I couldn't breath for a sec while under it, and it's a good thing I brought a change of clothes and stored them in the cheap lockers they have. Yes, I know, I'm a "jean-yus."]

Six Flags Over Georgia

Six Flags over Georgia has become a large amusement park, and you actually need 2 days to do everything there. It is worth the price to get in the gate. Parking will get ya another $7 or $8. You can find coupons either on Coke cans or in Ingles supermarkets. If you live near the area, go for a season pass. For about the price of one trip, you can have fun all season long.

The park is divided into different sections, each with their own theme. One of the top rides is Superman, which you ride facing the ground, as if you were actually flying. The Great American Scream Machine is their classic wooden roller coaster and something you must ride. As one of the parks oldest rides, it remains one of the parks greatest thrills. The Great Gasp is a parachute ride that takes you up above the park and then drops you down slowly to the ground. This is a good alternative if you do not like the faster drop rides, as this is tamer. Now, if you like to be taken up and dropped to the ground with no mercy whatsoever, you need to head for the classic Freefall and the newer Acrophobia. If those don't do it for ya, skydiving should be your next hobby. The other coasters are The Mind Bender, with has two loops; the Georgia Scorcher, a standing-up roller coaster (get in the front for the ultimate ride); Batman the Ride, which is floorless, with your feet dangling beneath you; The Georgia Cyclone, Six Flags’ second wooden roller coaster, The Ninja, a metal, twisting, multi-looping, head-banging coaster; and Déjà vu, the coaster that shoots you out like a rocket - then you do the same track backwards.

Thunder River is still one of my favorite rides at the park. You load onto an eight-person round raft and go for a wild water ride down a river. It is great, and you WILL get wet. To help with the long lines, Six Flags has FastLane, where you reserve a time to ride a popular ride, go do something else, and then come back at that reserved time and hop right on.

To rest your tired feet a bit, use the sky buckets or the train to get from one side of the park to the other. The shows at Six Flags are really worth catching. They are really good, and you are missing out by not seeing them. Also, take time to stop and try to win your sweetie one of those huge stuffed animals. There is no shortage of different games to try your luck at. Tons of food stations keep you going, from burgers to funnel cakes. Also throughout the park are all the Looney Toon characters. Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, and the whole gang can pop up anywhere, so keep your eyes peeled and your camera ready.

Six Flags over Georgia

If you're a roller coaster person, this is the place for you. If you're not, there's very little you'll enjoy here. The mine train is the oldest and smallest of the roller coasters. It's on a wooden track, and I felt like I was going to fall out the whole time. The parachute drop gives you a good view of the park [although after opening my eyes for a second I had to close them again]. It's better to go late in the day or the season, when the park's not as crowded. They have a big bash for Halloween- never been but it looks like fun. If you're going at least two times, get a season pass, it's only $50 and as you see, two individual tickets would be $60.

As you enter the parking lot, you'll notice the roller coasters dominating the park's skyline and as you walk towards the front entrance you'll pass within feet of a couple of them. After entering the entry plaza, hang a left towards the Georgia Scorcher, a stand up coaster that is fun and offers a very brief peek of the Atlanta skyline as you crest the first hill (on clear days). Continue on your way around the outside of the park to the Riddler and to Batman, which is a copy of the Batman rides at several other Six Flags parks. As you make your way around the back of the park, you'll find a couple of the water rides and then the Ninja, also a copy of a coaster found in other Six Flags parks. If you're looking for a rough ride the Ninja is for you. You'll next come to the Great American Scream Machine, a class out and back wooden coaster and finally to the Georgia Cyclone, another classic wooden coaster modeled after the Cylcone at Coney Island. This season (2001), the park is adding another coaster and what they describe as a rotating tower drop ride. Overall, a good park for riding coasters. If you're looking to take a break from the fast paced action of the thrill rides, there are several restaurants within the parks, plenty of shows, in airconditioned theaters and plenty of souvenir shops located around the park. If you're traveling to Six Flags during the peak summer months, you might consider coming after 4 PM when you can often get discounted tickets, sometimes with a Coke can and when the crowds begin to diminish a bit. The best times to visit are probably early spring when the park first opens for the season or in August or September after schools open. Remember also that the weather can and does often change without much notice so it's not a bad idea to bring a change of clothes or that much needed sunscreen and leave it in a locker inside the park (lockers can be rented for about $2). Also, keep in mind that parking is going to cost you about $8 for the day regardless of when you come. If you live in the area and are going to make more than one trip during the course of the year, buy a season pass...they're about the same price as a two day ticket and will get you in day or night any day the park is open. Overall, Six Flags over Georgia is a pleasent experience and a great day of fun for the family or the thrill ride seaker.
