When at six flags over Georgia this past weekend, I found this sign in several of the lines. I don't get it. Someone had told me that they had actually called the number, only to be told that they could not do anything unless an employee actually witnessed the line jumping. So whats the point of posting the number, if they can't do anything?

^^^Exactly. If they did not spray mace or do anything and one of the band members got hurt, then they would try to blame six flags for not doing enough to protect them.

And after saying all those nice things about six flags, they are pissed because six flags does not want them back? What the hell do they expect?

Sad.....Just sad.

I love dark rides. As someone else said, I think there should be a dark ride at every park. Some of the more notable dark rides I have been on. 1.Knobels dark ride 2.spiderman.IOA 3.All disney dark rides 4.wacky shack at waldameer 5.monster mansion sfog also deserves some love Some of the bad ones.... 1.castle at lake winnie 2.... 3...... 4....... That's all I can think of. Most missed dark rides. 1.pirate ride at cedar point 2.earthquake at cedar point 3.the old mill(pre garfield) 4.knights in white satin(never got to ride it, but hear it was great)

I actually went to ruby falls this year. Rock city was a blast when we went a few years ago. I would like to get back there. Here are a few shots of ruby falls at lookout mountain. Ruby falls at lookout mountain. The cave has gone hi tech since the last time I was there. They had lots of cool looking formations in the cave. Look...a TPR exlusive. And the beautiful waterfall. They are now using led lighting to iluminate the falls. It looks great. Behind the waterfall. Hungry anyone? Durring halloween time, they have a haunted cave walk thrue attraction. I really would like to come check it out.

I forgot to add these. They had snipers in the parking lot. Gasm controle panal. Looking at supermans crotch. Monster mansion boat. Monster mansion scene. Goliath station. Sign. Cumfy seats. Transfer track area. Not quite sure whats going on in the stadium these days, but I think there was a batman show in here years ago. Shake, rattle and roll indoor scrambler. The lights went dim, but there really was not anything else happening. Ice bat!! The log ride. Here is the other ferris wheel. I am not sure why it's there, but here it is.

That picture was taken in Tennessee off of I-75. When I took this picture, I was going north, so the porn shop was before the church.

I usually sit in the front seat, as I have long lags and there is more leg room in the front. I would suggest leaning forward, so your head does not bang on the harness as much. It's a brutal ride, there really is no way to ride it without getting banged up in some way. You can only minimize the beating by leaning forward. I would also recommend going to monster mansion first, as that line moves slow. It's also not a bad idea to get superman out of the way early as well because the line moves very slow and can get long. Have fun.

What I find weird, is that the coaster has been running since 1994 and it gets trims now? Why after 16 years does it now need trims? It does not make a difference to me as I did not care for the ride to begin with, but just kind of curious as to why they added them after all this time.

Mindbender was running on saturday and sunday with no issues that I could see. Yea, the superman crew was really slow. The 9 min it took to dispatch the train was just one train that I timed. I am sure it took longer than 9 min some of the time. The worst part was while waiting in line, watching the half empty trains go by while the line was not moving.

I really did not have a problem with line jumpers on this visit. I only had 1, and that was in line for superman. I also saw some moron jump the fence in line for superman just to pick up a couple of broken cell phones in a low zone.

Here are a few shots from the trip back to Michigan. On my way home, there was an awsome sun set. There was also porn shops and churches right next to eachother. And a fireworks shop with a ferris wheel.

Ok...On to lake winnie. It was a short 1.5 hour drive to lake winnie from six flags. All in all, lake winnie is a nice little park. They had these band organs all over the park that were a little freaky. It was like a scene from the twilight zone. This park has a wooden PTC coaster called the cannonball, and a wild mouse coaster as well. Lake...insert long name here.. The first ride you see as you enter the park. It's like a pissed off fish version of a spider ride. Train ride that I did not get to ride. The park map. Jumbo. Genie. The slide and tilt a whirl. They had these all over the park. Prices. Random ride. Looking down the midway. Ok....at this point it was getting a little weird. Since there was a rain storm, I decided to check out the dark ride. So with tickets in hand, off I went to ride. Ok...It was dark, there was a bird, a tunnle, and a loud horn. I don't know what else to say. The wild mose coaster. It was broke, so I would have to come back in a little while to get this credit. See...broke. On to the cannonball coaster. Noted... A very well taken care of ride. Station shot. I love a coaster that still has skid brakes. And hand levers. Lift hill. The trip to the lift. Station shot. Yep....definatly in the south. Bumper cars....or.... Greenhouse. You decide. I did not have time to ride this. I have always wanted to ride one of these. Looks like I will have to wait even longer...it was broke. Cannonball lift shot. I am speechless.... Looking accross the lake at the boat chute ride. They had one of these coasters as well. The cannonballs layout. One of the spin and hurls. The side of the lift. Mouse lift hill shot. Ride vehicle. Pretty advanced for a mouse coaster. Wave swinger ride. The controles were in the center of the ride. Looking back down the midway. Ummmm...yea....ok. Ferris wheel. Flying bobs ride. The boat chute ride. Boat chute station. The boat. Splash!!! I am going to take the tunnel!!!! And keep taking it....... And keep taking it........ Untill you finaly reach the lift. Being a boat chute operator takes years of practice. Just the complex controles take months of training. Random kiddie ride. I love it that parks are getting the statex models. Who would have known.... And that's it from lake winnie. It's a great little park. Make sure you stop by if your in the area.

Well, another weekend, another park(s). This weekend I decided to hit up six flags over Georgia and get parking put onto my pass since it was not available when I bought my pass last year....Oh, and to hit some coasters as well. This was my 3rd visit to this park, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. They have a great collection of coasters, and I almost forgot how much fun mindbender was. This was the first time I have been back since the flood last year, and mindbender was closed on that day. It's been probaly 15 years since I have ridden mindbender, and I think my spine is still compressed. After a day and a half at six flags, we went to lake winni(I don't know how to say or spell the rest of the name). It's a cute little park with a really nice and well taken care of PTC coaster. They also have the craziest wild mouse coaster I have ever been on.I was tossed around like a rag doll. They also have the worlds most ghetto dark ride, and a very interesting boat flume ride. Enjoy the pictures. Ok. I was sitting at home watching tv trying to decide what to do for the holiday weekend. There was the typical stuff on animal planet, but I wanted to get out and ride some coasters. So off I went. No trip down south is complete without a stop at skyline chili. I swear, this stuff has crack in it. I know I am getting close.... Lookie what I see!!! Goliaths helix of death greets the ariving guests. It's true. The park really is a lot cleaner than it used to be. The view from my parking spot. Here is the "premium" parking section. It was just as empty as this when I left the park. Really....$25 to park a hundred feet closer? God bless the parking tram. I wish more of the bigger parks had them. Goliath. Got a quick shot of scorcher on the way in. Remember when I said that the parks "are" much cleaner? Well this is just one of the reasons why. The supervisers walk around with garbage pinchers(not sure what you call them) and pick up trash while walking around. Goliath entering the helix. This years prices. The main gate. This is what you see when you enter the park. They have a nice area set up with a timeline of the park. Airtime galore. I better hurry and ride....theres a stom a brewing! The parks stand up coaster. This years prices. Not too bad, but still cheaper than cedar (un)fair prices. You can take a helicoptor ride......but not today. Off to gothum city first. The parks swing ride. One of the best coasters in the south. The station. Getting close... Yuck!!...they had one of those wrap things on the train. Thank goodness the other train is still normal. Green track yummieness. I see you!! Batman was just insane. I had no feeling left in my feet after riding. This is probaly the loudest batmans I have been on as well. Great ride. I don't know what is funnier....the guy and his silly hair, or the fact that you save a whopping 5% on your $30 hat? Ok....I was really in the mood for tacos, and one would think that a mexican food stand with a huge taco on it would have them......wrong. No tacos here. Monster mansion looks great after the refurb they did a few years ago. A new papa johns pizza place was under construction. When I was in the park last year, this section of the park was closed due to flooding. This was all under water last time. The entrance to thunder river. Not a bad deal if you break it down. Everyone gets there own pizza, salad, breadsticks, and drinks. Comes out to $10 a person. Or if you use the $10 off coupon in your season pass book, it's even cheaper. Thomas was another section that was under water last time I was here. Train station. A great deal if you want to carry it around with you all day. Ninja from accross the lake. I love it!! Ninja lift hill porn. Do I really want to take a beating today? Great american scream machine looks like it got a new coat of paint. Station shot. It has a wonderfull looking station. The trip to the lift. It really is a great ride. This time it was a little on the ruff side, but still a lot of fun. Awaiting my ride. Lots of airtime to be had on these hills. Skull island water play structure. Superman flying coaster. It's a fun ride, but this has to be the slowest crew in the park. It should not take 9 min to dispatch a train. Half the trains they were sending out were half empty. They were not even trying to fill the trains. As a result, the line was very long and boring... The mine ride from accross the way. I did not get this credit on this trip. Canyon blaster coaster. A great looking theater. If the show would have been anything but country music, I would have checked it out. The glad hatter??? This sign is just freaky. The mine train coaster. I guess this ride makes people happy. AracnaIambrokefobia. My last ride of the day at six flags. I got a kick out of this. So if someone cuts in line, it's your responsability to call and report it? Nerd shot. Last year, this was a fairly smooth ride. I am not sure what happend, but it was pretty ruff this time around. Six flags over San quinten(sp). I took the tunnel!!!! Not sure what to say..... A picture of the park map. All the parks seem to be jumping on the bbq bandwagon this year. Smoking areas. On my way out of the park, I snapped a few pictures..... It's too bad I had to leave early to make it to the next park, because it looks like they have a circus show at six flags this year. Oh well....on to lake winnie. One last look at batman.

The thirsty pony has some killer wings. They almost taste like hooters wings.

Nice pictures. I am going to try and get out there next weekend to check out the dipper.

Looks like the opening of shoot the rapids has been delayed once again. The red cross winners were told that the first rides have been postponed again. No new date has been given. No word from cedar point yet. I find that kind of odd, because it is supposed to open tomorrow. I think the least they could do if it was not going to open tomorrow, is give people a heads up.

Thunder river was great. whenever I go to a park, I ride the coasters and than I always look for the log flumes, and then the dark rides. I really like the misty tunnel of doom that the ride had. The ride also had an interesting rack for the logs in the station.

I thought that Disney's blizzard beach claims to have the largest water slide?

The rodeo at six flags america. Here is the rodeo at six flags america.

The only shot of the trapeze at great escape that I have is wayyy in the back ground. Not sure why I did not get a shot of the ride when I was there.

If there are any rides left after six flags removes the ones they own.

So who and when do they decide what rides are still six flags?
