Six Flags Over Georgia

Wednesday was our big day to go to Six Flags Over Georgia -- just Debbie, David and me! Lines were long and it was very hot!! But we had a terrific time!


We only rode a few rides, but it turned out to be enough. We did the log ride -- you HAVE to do the log ride when you go to Six Flags! Then after looking around for a while we wound up on the Mind Bender, a "mild" roller coaster with only two complete loops -- absolutely enough for Dad!

After the Mind Bender, we walked to the entrance to the Batman ride and Debbie tried out the seat used on the Batman. Enjoy that happy smile! You'll see it one more time, then not again for several hours. Debbie (aka Bat Girl) and David (Robin?) decided to ride the Batman ride together.

One person in the group -- Dad (the 'Joker?')-- used wisdom and remembered what the number was on his last birthday and decided to be the photographer on the ground.

You can barely see them go by as the ride started out, on the far side of the row (sometimes you can click on the picture and see Debbie's happy face waving goodbye). The next picture shows only feet and legs flying as they went around the first loop. The next time I saw Bat Girl she had a VERY sick look and I felt it best to not take a picture at the time. See what I mean by "wisdom"?!

When you see the picture of the Batman ride and what looks like a lot of feet swinging in front of you, click on the picture and make it bigger. You should be able to see David's giant smile and Debbie's closed eyes!

Just so you'll know, it wasn't just the ride that made Bat Girl so sick. They have to walk through a tunnel to get to the ride -- a very hot tunnel with no air circulating. That was the source of the beginning of being sick. One girl was carried out of that tunnel without making it to the ride.

There are a few more pictures to come from Six Flags -- on the next blog.
