Edwardo:
It was time for an impromptu trip to my favorite Six Flags park, thankfully only 4 hours away.

Traffic on the way out of Charlotte was not fun.

Yay!  I'm here!

Goliath just dominates the front of the park.  It's a fun ride, but I've actually switched to Diamondback as my favorite B&M Speed/Hyper coaster.

Having said that, this was the reason I was here.  Didn't get to come down to get my credit last year, but I wasn't missing out this year.

While it wasn't the best ride evar, I was quite impressed.  Love the restraints, smooth ride, and a lot of fun.

Its the kind of ride that SFoG needed.  And its quite popular.

I'm not a fan of vertical lifts, but at least it isn't a huge lift.

Next up was Mind Bender.  This is still a great ride after many years.  It's no Shockwave, but, then Texas is a lot further away.

Goliath is great.  Its very consistent.  I enjoy it every time.  Diamondback was better, but I really like having 2 decent B&M hyper coasters not too awful far away.

The first drop is excellent.

I always hated Georgia Cyclone.  Rough and not fun.  But with just a little topper track from Rocky Mountain Coasters, it's actually quite fun now.  I wanted to marathon it at the end of the nite, but it rained for the last hour of operations.

Watched the new show at Crystal Pistol.  It could use some work, but it had potential.  Needs a bigger theater.

Kids, smoking and tanning is bad for you.  This picture does no justice.  And of course, you didn't see her crispy legs.  Ugh.

Monster Picnic!  Monster Mansion is great fun.  Just avoid the swamp.

When the sign says the line is 30 minutes and it looks short, it's all lies.  It was more like a 90 minute wait.  Why can't they figure out how to make the dual station work?!?!

One of the better rapids rids I've been on.

One of the best themed Six Flags parks.

The line was too long, but this is a great kids coaster.

So much better this time.

And that's that.  You can see all of my pix Here.

Robert T Ackerman:
Diamondback better? Are you high?

AV Matt:
Remember Rob, he thinks El Toro is the best ride ever.  'nuff said.

Cause it really is one of the best in the world. Its definitely getting better with age too. It goes so much faster through the end than it used to.

Edwardo:
El toro is not the best thing ever. Texas Giant is. And DB is better than Goliath.
