Chadster's Vacation Adventures: Final Edition!

[fatdaddyI'm 39 and can't find the Shift Key]

I think I need to go back to work so I can afford to go to these parks. It looks like way too much fun.

From a fun filled day at Carowinds, I slept in a little on May 1st before making the short drive from my first ever visit to Six Flags over Georgia on May 1st, 2011. I arrived at the park around 1pm and went straight to the flash pass office to Gold Pass it up. As with many Six Flags parks, the pass is really really valuable on some rides and not needed on others. I was pleased to find that all of the coasters and several of the flats were included on the pass. There were only two rides that it really wasn't needed on, those being Ninja and The Great American Scream Machine. Wait times were no more than 20 minutes, with Batman having the longest wait on the pass. Most other rides were 10 minutes or less, yeah!!!

Mindbender was a pleasant surprise and will be ranked high on my steel poll should I ever actually finish one. Nice out of air time and a well laid out ride. Superman was a decent flier, nothing special, Ninja didn't really slap me silly, and Goliath is > Intamidator by far. The Georgia backbreaker was not memorable and I can say I would rather ride a boomerang than this piece of firewood. Oh, and the drop tower, while certainly a unique experience, it can have a dramatic effect on ones manhood, an effect that could result in the inability to have children.

But nonetheless, the park looked nice, the ops were friendly and mostly on their game with decent dispatch times, even on the stand-up. My only gripe (and lets get real, its not really a gripe) was the confusion on if you could take crap to the ride or had to leave it in a lock box thingy. Goliath allowed you to drop off your drink cups, but nothing else. Wished I had known that, but oh well, I knew if for the second go round, AND I shouldn't bitch as I got free drink refills from the DD stand at Dare Devil Dive all day. Apparently the people working the stand were familiar with TPR and were like, take it. So yeah for me!!

So, now, off to the pics!

The Mansion was on the pass, but I skipped it.

^ It was my choice, tired, hot, just wanted to go to the hotel.

[cal1br3ttoWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I am very interested in visiting this park. GASM looks lovely, both aesthetically and ride-wise. And upon visiting, I'd probably pick up at least a couple new steel coasters in my top, say, 20 or 30, or maybe even 10!

Seriously?

^Some one's a little cranky. Jeff Johnson would have counted it as a credit. You could too.

[thrillriderAm I allowed to eat donkey during lent?]

How can you go to this park and not ride the mansion?

So it's New Texas Giant Bash day, for those of you keeping track, that would be May 14th. For those of you traveling to the park on a Saturday, I strongly suggest you obtain a flash pass. Why you ask? Well, the answer to the why will be contained in the pictures below.

I won't bore you with my usual dissertation on the park and what's near it as there are plenty of reports and information out there on SFOT, so I will just dive right in to what everyone wants to see, the pictures!

OH!!! And if you ever wanted to know what TPR Quest/Triva is, I have posted videos to the NTGB thread here.

Hey Chad,

It was nice meeting you at SFOG! Glad you enjoyed our park. You even got my partner and two of my friends in your Acrophobia picture! LOL Hopefully catch you around at some other parks/events.
