Six Flags over Georgia

New posts
I go to Six Flags over GA every year and especially now that they host UGA Alumni Night the third Friday of April. I have heard some say that Six Flags over GA is the best out of them all. Make sure you ride the Dahlonega Mine Train (the original rollercoaster there), it will be taken down and stored after this year to make room for a new roller coaster and park expansion, and according to the newspaper article "It may be relocated to the new section of the park."
 
FFF say be sure and ride Goliath! I have a picture of him and lil' FFF last year and he looks like this!:eek: It is too funny!
 
I'm excited like a little kid on Christmas! I can't wait. It started out as going to Atlanta to see Josh Groban, and finding something to do during the day.

Now its about going to Six Flags and heading to Josh Groban Saturday night so I can get some rest before heading back to 6F in the morning!

And yes Mangy, I'll be going to BK both days! Nuggets galore!

I'm sure I'll do Goliath and then some. I'm going to check on FastPass now!

thanx y'all!

And thanks for the PM's too!:roll:

The Dahlonega Mine Train...boy what memeories that brings back!:wub: Thanks bsmart!!:clap_1:
 
If it is anything like Busch in Tampa, I imagine it is beautiful!

I just booked a hotel next to the park and only 9 miles from downtown.

Now the next question. How long, on a Saturday evening, should it take me to drive from Six Flags to Philips Arena.
The concert is at 8pm. I like to get there an hour early, just in case. Maybe an hour and a half. I decided to wait to get there, and eat at the CNN building. I'm going to try that Mexican restaurant again, with the giant sombrero's hanging from ceiling.

Its only 9 miles from the motel to downtown. But I know it took me nearly 45 minutes to go from Marietta, 12 miles to Philips for Barbara.

I really want to get to know Atlanta better. I have already received my itinerary for my next trip from one of y'all. Thanks!:biggrin:

I also want to revisit Stone Mountain and there was a civil war museum somewhere that was a round room with 3 dimensional characters that blended in with the wall mural. I'm diggin' back in memories from over 30 years ago so bear with me. Anyone know what that might be? The Carving on Stone Mountain wasn't even finished when I was there last!
 
Not sure of distances DKA for you, but when I saw Groban, he had a warm up gig play, then about another 15 minutes or so for them to set up the stage, so he didn't start until about 45-1 hr or so.

I rode that Mine Train about a dozen times one day back in the days o' disco. What fun, and there were no doubt fewer people to deal with then.

Everybody keeps mentioning this ride, so I just went to the website to check it out, and by goodness it brought back a memory, albeit quite hazy. I'm sure I've ridden this before, and I will ride it again this weekend. I'm pretty sure all I'm going to do is ride coasters. I'm a thrill junkie.:biggrin:
