More Flags, More Fun...

Jeremy and I finally ventured to Six Flags Over Georgia last Sunday to reward ourselves for the completion of the semester!

Perhaps you have seen the commercials for Six Flags... If you haven't, the general gist is below. The crazy dude tells you that the more fun you're having, the more flags it is worth. And, of course, 6 flags is the highest rating!


So, in staying true to the absolute nerds that we are, Jeremy and I documented our day using the "flag system." Enjoy:

Our first ride of the day was the Georgia Scorcher. You can't tell from this picture, but you're basically standing up throughout the ride. Your seat has some give, so when you go through the loops, you're midair most of the time.


I, being a true roller coaster junkie , gave it the full 6 flags.

As you can see, Jeremy was not a fan: (only 1 flag from him!)


Next, we went on a pretty pathetic log flume ride... twice. Here's me emerging from the ladies room after trying to dry off: (3 flags)


Next, we went on another log flume ride, Splash Water Falls. Here's Jeremy standing on the bridge after the ride: (3 flags)

Afterwards, I had a delicious soft pretzel while we dried off! (4 flags)


We didn't have to wait for too long during the day, but there was a substantial wait at Thunder River. Here's us at the back of the line: (1 flag)


And here's me at the top following the ride: (5 flags)


Of course, we were the ones who got splashed in the back by a tidal wave and nailed in the face by mean people with water cannons. We spent the rest of the day soaked: (0 flags)


Jeremy decided he'd had enough roller coasters, so I went on Superman by myself. In case you can't tell from this picture, you are actually riding the ride with your belly to the ground!


The coolest part of the ride is when you go through a loop backwards and upside down! Wild! The climb to the top while you're face is to the ground is a little unnerving! (5 flags)


I actually did get Jeremy on the Goliath coaster. It's 200 feet tall, and spans 8.5 acres! There are also several zero-gravity zones, where you are literally suspended above your seat in midair. It is wicked!


I rode Goliath 3 times, and Jeremy rode it once. My thoughts: (7 flags)


Needless to say, we had a great time. While the customer service there is a bit lacking (they should take a lesson from Disney), the lines weren't bad, the weather was nice, and the roller coasters were amazing.

We felt the day deserved all 6 flags!
