42 countries

According to http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedCountries after my visit to US I have visited 42 countries in the world or 18% of them all. Still short of 20, so plenty of room to improve. Considering that my map of Africa is quite blank and there are still some places in Europe to go, I have just booked my next holidays to place my green pin on Portugal :)

The Georgia Cyclone

Finally it was time to leave, but before making my way to the car part, last ride at the Georgia Cyclone. It is wooden and quite old... Click on the link to view a video of the ride:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2798445006717455217


 

Six Flags of Georgia Rides cont.

People actually pay 0.25 USD to squirt the passenger on the boats with water :) talking about having wet fun :)
Next is the GEORGIA SCORCHER, the Southeast's tallest and fastest stand-up roller coaster.
Unfortunately the Ninja ride was not open. Looks interesting...






 

Six Flags of Georgia

First pitcture shows the THE GREAT AMERICAN SCREAM MACHINE one of the world's longest and tallest wooden roller coasters. Then is the ride that I liked the most, Superman! You ride like super man , basically flying! You just hope the seat is strong enough! So cool!

First is the Mind Bender with tripple loops, then the Goliath, about 70 m high reaching speed of over 112 km/h, then Batman, which was scary, and finally the Free Fall



 

Six Flags of Georgia Amusement Part

I have to say the best part I have seen. But considering that I have not been to that many parks like this, this statment is not that important. Me and my buddies from the picture enjoyed the rides quite a lot.


 

Highway to anywhere

Even driving a V8 3.4 litre is quite challenging to say at least on a 4+2 lanes highways. The batmobile doesn have to do anything with it, but at least now I know why it is so big and black :)
