Great pics! You all looked pretty dazed after it was all over. I got to the park just as everybody was getting off the train and eating cake.

I'm glad I didn't sign up for it at the Spring Fling, as I probably would have gotten stuck on an axle seat in the back and given up early. I'm waiting for the Mindbender marathon - THAT I could ride for hours in any seat!

Is that a Q-bot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Great pics, Tommy! Nice site, too.

A random Mooshter's Dawntionary listing: Flatulence [n.] - the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you're run over by a steamroller.

Good god that's impressive.

I play in a really awful garage band, but it's still fun.

<sour grapes>You'll probably never enjoy it again. </sour grapes>

30 hours? What the hell is that, a metric day?

I believe it was 30 hours in honor of GASM's 30th anniversary... GP, don't you work at SFoG? You of all people should know that... ;) Just kiddin with ya.

30 hours for the 30th Anniversary of the coaster. Damn, with you being the "all knowing god of SFoG" I would have thought you knew that.

Great pics Tommy. I had time to recover as well and changed my mind also. I'd do it again in a heartbeat (minus the rain and bad brakes). I think I slept for 15 hours after I got to Kevins that afternoon. Sean slept for about that many as well.

Who knows what will happen when Mindbender turns 30...... Oh the visions in my head....

**Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I'm halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh my gosh....I could be eating a slow learner.**

I can't see how the 7 did the whole 30 hours...I rode only the last 4 and I'm still feeling the side effects...

"Press down, pull up, and enjoy the rest of your day here at Six Flags over Georgia as we celebrate 30 years of operation at the Great American Scream Machine."

Great pics Tommy....thanks...

Still getting use of my AOLer-translator link, eh? After the mini-Mindbender marathon (MMM - patent pending) at the Spring Fling, I'm ready for the real thing!

I guess you can't detect a joke when you see one. Lighten up.

BTW, FreeFall is 20 this year... who wants to go 20 hours on it?

I detected no sign of "joking" in your post. No, :) , ;) , or lol's. On to new business....

Could they keep Freefall running for 20 hours straight? I personally will not ride any more 1st gen freefalls after getting stuck on SFMM's for a long time at the top, only to be dropped without warning.

That's too bad for you. You probably have a tough time in school. In future posts I will use the pretty smilies so it will be easier for you, mmkay? I thought the whole idea of a "metric day" would have been the giveaway that I was fooling around.

^ Probably not.

GP, I hope you know that I was joking. I did see the joke there, and actually chuckled a bit. :)
