bgwfreak Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 So yeah we heard there was this new "coaster" thingy being built at this place called "Six Flags over Georgia". Never heard of the place before so we decided to check it out. Getting to our hotel was quite an adventure in itself. Our lovely navigator decided to leave Charlotte at Noon so that we would be sure and hit all the lovely Atlanta Friday rush hour traffic... Needless to say there was not one wreck, but two on the outerbelt around Atlanta. It took us one whole hour to drive 15 miles just so we could "avoid" the traffic downtown. Ugh. After I survived the urge to blow my brains out in Atlanta traffic, we got to Ruby Tuesday and had a nice diner then headed to the hotel for the evening. Next morning our fears were somewhat relieved with a look at the raidar. The storms would probably be passing through Atlanta and gone for good by about Noon. Not too bad. So we got to the park and of course it was still raining a bit (thanks to your truly though we had ponchos!) (notice JD and Scott modeling the lovely Golith-Orange ponchos). As you can see Goliath has taken over the front of the park for good. And that's a good thing in most cases. (Taken later in the day) Poor Scorcher, he looks so dejected now that Goliath has taken over...you can almost hear Goliath saying "Ha ha silly standup coaster! Bow before my awesomeness!" Goliath was having some "technical difficulties" that morning and would not open for 8:30 ERT as planned. bummer. So we headed off to GASM and the "original" Superman: Ultimate Flight for some ERT on those coasters. After we got one ride on Superman we were almost about to leave the station when they shut down the ride because of "rain". Uh...how is rain going to hurt the ride? Oh well. So we decided to head back over to Goliath and see if we could get in line for whenever it opened to the General Public (since our morning ERT was canceled). As we crested the hill into USA I heard Goliath again saying "Ha ha...silly mortals. You can not tame my Alien B&M goodness!". (After all this Goliath is themed (somehow) around the 50's/time travel/and/or aliens). So we made it up to the line and waited and waited, meanwhile it started raining and raining. At some point the ACE guys came by and said we could wait in the station instead of waiting out in the rain. nice! Here you see Scott waiting...and waiting... and waiting... Why IS that guy looking at me like that? Dude I'm straight! I sware! I know it's an ACE event, but come on. Leave me alone! Next up... will Goliath ever open? Will Scott strangle the ACE rep from the South East? These and other questions to be answered.
Erik Johnson Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Not sure if it just me, but I am unable to see your photos.
Nrthwnd Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 # @ # um..... Moi, aussi.... No pix seen here... (EDIT: Actually Erik? I just got the pix to show up, by left-clik on the pic icon, hit "View Image"...it then shows up. You get the image, then you 'go back' to the posting and the image stays in the post.... )
Nrthwnd Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Well I got the pix now, as explained to Erik before (above) - and you all looked to have a swell time there, rain notwithstanding.......
CP_RULES Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Is anyone having the same problem? Im having the problem too but Nrthwnd's technique works, so I can still see them.
Blazen_AZN Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I am. right click > show picture isn't working, either.

TheStig Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Im seeing no pictures, if your hosting with webshots that most likely the reason why. I had the same problem with them, but I switched to photobucket and they all work fine now... Colin C
ACEfanatic02 Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Never hotlink from Webshots. (They'll shut down your account if they catch you.) Use www.imageshack.us. -ACE

Whoa....I was just skimming through, this could be taken the wrong way.....not that I would notice.....
Wes Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I was not at SFOG. That is a damn lie. That's why the pictures won't show up, because I wasn't there!
bgwfreak Posted May 1, 2006 Author Posted May 1, 2006 Bummer. It's not going to let me do it the other way I was going to try. Oh well, I guess I can just post the link to the pic but that kind of defeats the purpose of a Photo TR. For now you can check out all the pics here: http://community.webshots.com/album/549866281GpKgfS
