Hotlanta & Six Flags Over Georgia!

The morning after Flamingo’s, we got up and continued our drive south to Atlanta, making sure to fulfill our daily quota of IHOP’s and malls along the way.

This was the first time in Atlanta for each of us, and we both really loved it. People were really friendly and really hot and I'll really be back.

But enough about that. Atlanta was all about visiting Six Flags Over Georgia, just a few miles outside the city in Austell.

We decided to splurge on the Gold Flashpass. This was the best $85 dollars we've ever spent. It allowed us to bypass all the lines at all the popular rides all day long. I think the longest we waited for anything was maybe about 5 minutes. Going on so many rides in such quick succession without the natural check of waiting in line was nearly more than our poor brain stems could handle. But we loved every minute of it. :-)
Here we are just before getting on the log flume.


And here we are getting drenched on the log flume. (And yes, that's me you can hear screaming like a schoolgirl...)


Here we are with a new friend we made along the way.

Then we took the skyway across the park to Acrophobia, easily the scariest ride of the entire day.


Video of Acrophobia -- it doesn't quite capture the heart-pounding, white-knuckle sensation of being suspended so high over the ground and dropping free fall for what seems to be an insanely long time...

Splashwater Falls. My second favorite ride at the park (after the "Goliath" coaster).
Here we are at the end of the day. Mission accomplished. We seriously regressed.

More regression to come: Orlando next!
