27th:
Well I woke up in the morning on the 27th to find that my alarm clock didn't go off and I was 10 minutes late (which can mean alot at my house). I quickly woke up my mom whose alarm seemed to have not gone off ethier. I woke up my brother and he then woke up his friend. We set off at about 8 and we had to make a 2 hour stop at the airport so my brother could take his private pilot written exam. After he did that we headed on to Atlanta. We ate lunch at a bojangles and made it to our hotel (The Wingate for you SFoG regulars) around 7:30. We got to the park and proceed our passes. We were ready to go around 8. We walked up and down hills to get to Superman at around 8:15. We got there to find that it was broke down. Finally after a 50 minute wait we were on. We got assigned the 2nd row, 1st seemed to be for flash passers only. Anyways the pretzel loop was amazing. We got a on-ride since we had a bogo coupon for them. We left and ate at a IHop close by.

28th:
Today was our first full day. We started off the day with a ride on batman followed by a ride on Mind Bender. Batman was themed really well, and that saved the ride (atleast for now, we rode near the front). Mind Bender was fun and smooth but it just didn't feel like the theme it was supposed to have. It looked ugly with those Got2BGlued ads pasted on the side of every car. Still fun none-the-less. Both were basic walk-ons except station waits.
We then went to Scorcher. This ride is extremely fun. I love all the airtime on the twists and stuff. It is my number 6. Defiantly the best stand-up I've rode and the best I think out there. It had a wait that started at the lockers, almost 1 hour (some of the queue was closed).
We then went to the Cyclone to find a long wait. Almost 30 minutes. This ride is pure crap. Hands down worst ride I've been on. The Pull-outs are painful with alot of head slamming and back breaking. My back was popped out of joint.
We rode Sky Buckets both ways and got the Family deal from Papa Johns. We now had free refills for the day!
We went to the Dahlongea Mine Train, 15 minute wait. It was fun I guess but seemed slow until the final drop. We then rode the train around the park. I swear our tour guide was crazy.
Me and my brother then waited 15 minutes for wheelie, but it was worth it. I love enterprises.
We then walked over to the "M&M Stair" theater to see some country show. it was weird. We were all hurting from Cyclone still and it was a nice break but we were all really tired.
We decided to head to Goliath to get our first ride out of it before we turned in for the day. We got second row. about 45 minute wait and our longest for it. It was awesome. I love the crazy Airtime you get. Best part is either the second hill or the last 3 hills over the Scorcher. We left and ate at the Wendy's down the street.

29th:
This was my mom's birthday.
We started out the day with another 2nd row ride on Goliath. 15 minute wait. Still awesome. We bought a on-ride since we had a $7 coupon.
We then went to Ninja and got 2 rides on it. One train has cool big red handles, the other has small stupid metal ones. I got a front seat and a second row ride both with actual walk-ons.
We went over to GASM, since I was with my mom I couldn't crack the "You wanna ride Superman or GASM" joke, but I still thought about it. Anyways, this coaster has the cool PTC airtime trains. Just sit on the left row unless you want a (although not nearly as bad) repeat of the Cyclone. Walk on both times I rode. My brother's friend rode left side first and had to sit out 2nd time. Me and my brother rode left side so we didn't know it was bad on the right until we re-rode.
I then quickly saw the line for Superman getting bigger as it was about to open. I started to it and was interrupted by everyone wanting refills. So when we got in line (just me and my brother, His friend had to sit out after GASM) it was only to the 15 minute point. Yes! Nope, the train just had to get stuck on the station. But atleast that made about 5 people leave. So after 20 minutes we were next in line. The train won't dispatch. We wait 20 extra minutes and end up switching rows to get on the first train after it got fixed. We finally get on it it was awesome still, and I got to see people fix it twice!
My mom's present was a ride on Canyon Blaster. 20 minute wait. It was fun but she didn't like it
.
We wanted another ride on Scorcher. We got the same spot this time and it was really fun. 15 minute wait.
We went to the Log Jamboree since my mom had rode it when she was little and she wanted to ride it again. About a 10 minute wait.
We ate lunch at the Panda Express and then went to Gotham City for a Batman re-ride. We sat back this time and it was walk-on. The ride is so much faster and better in back. This ride made my number 10 spot.
We then went to Goliath. As we were walking we saw Mr. Six's dance party. he was finally dancing rather then saying the annoying "More Flags More Fun!" Anyways, we got a Front Row ride on Goliath. It was about a 25 minute wait. Out of all my rides on Goliath this was best. You could see everything and the hills gave even more airtime. I love how everyone is staring at you when you pass over the walkways.
We left and went to the pool and Hot Tub at the Hotel. We came back around 7:30.
We went to Johnny Rockets For Milkshakes and they were probably the best I've ever had.
My brother rode Acrophobia as everyone else waited. He said it hurt, and I believe it since it is a floorless stand-up.
We then went to Monster Mansion. 10 minute wait. It was cheesy at first, then got really good and somewhat scary. The Marsh is awesome. I touched the fountains above us and got everyone in the back row wet. The horn at the end was abit too much though as it freaked the living crap out of everyone.
Our final rides at Six Flags Consisted of 2 rides on Goliath. The first was about a 10 minute wait for it. I rode in the very back and I admit I was scared going up the lift since back is most intense. After the first drop the ride didn't give hardly any airtime on the top of the hills just the drops. It quite honestly wasn't that great. Our Final ride was our most interesting. We waited almost 25 minutes for the front. We were about 2 trains to go when they told all of us except the next riders to spread out or leave since it was there last train of the night. I was mad that I waited for the front and got stuck in the middle, were I could have gone almost 5 trains earlier. Well, I got a night ride on it as it was pretty much full night. It felt good to end my trip with a last train of the day ride on Goliath, although I wish I was in front.

All in all, this was a great trip. The park was cool and the employees seemed friendly.
