stevenpensacola Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Took the family up to Atlanta for a last hurrah before school starts back. Visited Six Flags WhiteWater Water park last Thursday. On a previous visit two years ago, I was not very impressed with how the attraction were "run" since Six Flags took over WhiteWater....employees had developed the infamous "I'm 16, this is just a summer job, I'm bored and don't give a rip" attitude. I found this to be much improved, except for some of the food service employees. This is a great waterpark. I really love the slides which run through the trees. Also, it's hard to beat tree-shaded cue lines. Loved Loved Loved the Tornado (the big funnel). The drop into the funnel is as good as any drop on a coaster. Only thing wrong with the Tornado is the short ride. The lines actually moved pretty good for this ride. The line for the Bahama Bob family ride moved really slow....I think the hold up for this ride is getting people out of the raft's at the bottom...if they could come up with a way to get the raft out of the way quicker, they could send rafts out more quickly. Likes: TORNADO Gulf Screamer Racer slides Lizard Tale slide Ragin' Rapid slide Pretty terrain for a water park. Dislikes: $8 to park ("Does this include washing and waxing my car? $3.48 for a 20 ounce Coke. It must really be difficult to ship in the soft drinks to such an out of the way locale as ATLANTA! $4.45 for a teeny-tiny bowl of Dippin Dots! $10 for a locker, but they do give you a dollar back (wow) when you turn in your key. I thought about just keeping the key, just so they have to make a new one. This is a really nice park....they just need to spend a little $$ on paint and general upkeep...need to sweat the details a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray Holiday World. Not so great waterpark, but unlimited drinks included. $4.45 for a teeny-tiny bowl of Dippin Dots! Yes, but the information you can get here is priceless. $10 for a locker, but they do give you a dollar back (wow) when you turn in your key. I thought about just keeping the key, just so they have to make a new one. Yeah, stick it to the man next time! Just call your key a rare souvenir. How is it that I have never been to Whitewater yet?

SharkTums Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Yeah, I remember also being very shocked over the lockers. It was $10 for a tiny, disgusting locker! Glad you had a good time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Glad you had a good day, hope everyone in the family enjoyed it. Hooray Holiday World. Not so great waterpark, but unlimited drinks included. Yeah... and an inflated cost of admission to cover the drinks... How is it that I have never been to Whitewater yet? Not a waterpark person? To be fair, I don't seek out waterparks either, I'll do them if included but not so much the seperate entities. Though I must say I have always been pleased with White Water.

trustkill22 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I see that you loved Tornado but couldn't you imagine doing it on Rollerblades. (Same video posted in Random Video Thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 ^^Where was security!?!? Those stupid kids should have been arrested. Well, arrested or died on one of the slides. Death would probably serve the world better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustkill22 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 ^^^I have watched the first part of that series and the security and cops caught them but the second part (which is the next season) that I have posted they don't get caught so, I have no idea where security was. The park didn't go without a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I don't seek out waterparks either, I'll do them if included but not so much the seperate entities. Though I must say I have always been pleased with White Water. Well, had we paid for each drink individually based on what almost any other park charges, it probably would've at least equaled the cost of admission. Remember Joe, you visited on an overcast, and much cooler day than we did. You really learn to appreciate the Pepsi Oasis when the sun is beating down on you. And I still contend that HW's admission is very reasonable for all that it offers, even though I sense a curious trend among some in here to dispute the park's lofty status. Anyway, we'll always disagree on this one, so no need to get too far off subject I guess. And I actually really enjoy waterparks. That's why I can't figure out what's taken us so long to get down to Whitewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeemerBoy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 ^^^ And I'll never appreciate Carrabba's either. So there!! In all seriousness, I've always been amazed at people who are that particular about the different soft drink companies. Not that there's anything wrong with it. I've just always been one who thinks a soft drink is a soft drink is a soft drink. They're so similiar to me, that the subtle differences never matter when I'm thirsty enough to drink 'em. As far as HW goes, I was more impressed that they offered Gatorade than anything else. I knew that the typical Pepsi drinks were prominent, but I drank more Gatorade than anything else. And that definitely helped in the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
