For those of you that didn't see this on the news, its raining, and raining, and raining in the Atlanta area. This is a video of Six Flags over Georgia.

1:18 puts a new meaning on splashdown.

The folowing link talks about some destruction and how the park may not be to bad. Personally I can't see how a wooden coaster that is under water will be safe to run again with out some serious referb.

This is bad news for me as I am going to the Petit LeMans race just north of Atlanta this weekend, anybody else going as well?

This happens yearly...

Not only can SFoG's wooden coasters be painted :roll: but they seem to handle being submerged in standing waters...

Yeah, I was thinking that this is a fairly typical event for SFOG. I think we would have seen problems way before now if they had not already considered this problem.
