Alert! Alert! Just wanted to share with those of you that are fans of Roller Coasters, and/or those of you who have great memories of Six Flags Over Georgia... Photo Credit - Six Flags Over Georgia  Six Flags Over Georgia - the Thrill Capital of the South - today announces the iconic wooden roller coaster, the Georgia Cyclone, will go away forever after Sunday, July 30th .

Six Flags Over Georgia is open daily through August 6th.

Hope you are familiar with Six Flags Over Georgia, if not, you need to be!  As a child, I remember vacations to Six Flags.  When I moved up to Atlanta, I got a season pass with my roommate.  With an 8 year old, we are loving Six Flags these days.  We were invited to come check out their newest ride, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis.  I am NOT a ride person, so Broxton was thrilled to have his big brother there for the day!  I thought we would be there for just a couple hours, due to the Georgia temperatures (I love the air conditioner!)

Let me know if you have been or plan to go!

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Have children?  Then let me tell you about the all new children's play area that has recently been added to Six Flags Over Georgia.  We were recently invited there for the grand opening and to say it is awesome is putting it very mildly. My son had a blast and it is great for kids of all ages!    FTC Compliant Review Policy:  The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

We were lucky enough to go for the grand opening of Bugs Bunny Boomtown  and all of the wonder Broxton had as we always rode by Six Flags over Georgia was finally brought to life as he got to experience it all. This time around, they were opening up the new DC Super Friends Zone.  We got there early to enjoy the park and then made our way to th...

Hopefully you saw my last post about us being invited to Six Flags Over Georgia for the Grand Opening of Bugs Bunny Boomtown .  I didn't want to overload you with photos, so we are here now to tell more about the rides!   Boomtown is all about kids and we had a blast letting him play to his hearts desire! Tweetys Tree House -  This was perfect for an introduction to the rides.  On this ride, you go up 20 feet in the air and then it "drops" you. Not too fast so littles are giggling more than screaming.  See the smiles? So fun he had to ride more than once!  Daffy Duck Bucket Blasters-  This one has one of his big brothers on it. (He did manage to get them all on it with him!)  He loved it, because you shot the other people with the water ... and could also shoot the people standing to the side watching!  Sure to get lots of shrieks and laughter! Speedy Gonzales Speed Boats-  This one kinda caught him by surprise. ...

We were recently invited to go to attend the Grand Opening of Bugs Bunny's Boomtown at Six Flags Over Georgia and I could not pass up such a fun time!   The big brothers came up for the day and it was full of fun. (Not even the rain could make us leave!) As a child, I remember taking vacations to Atlanta.  I have been to Six Flags on more than one occasion though the years.  Actually, when I first moved to Atlanta in college, my roommate and I bought Season Tickets because we were going to go often enough for it to be worth it for us.  I hate to admit it, but ever since I had Broxton, I have not been a fan of motion like that.  I can't do roller coasters, trampolines and even car rides drive me crazy. Having a son (and driving near Six Flags all the time) I have been asked several times when I was taking him there.  I honestly have been meaning to take him, but I needed someone to ride with him, so I thought. After spending the day there, I realize now, we...

Remember how I told you that we had been busy lately?  Well, in all our hustle and bustle, we had the opportunity to go to Six Flags over Georgia for their Holiday In the Park.  It has been years since I had been to Six Flags and it was Broxton's first time.  He had been BEGGING to go for quite some time and I am so glad it finally worked out for us to go! We were actually able to get my brother to come with us too, so it was a fun family adventure!   I was not sure what to expect, so we were all like children filled with excitement!!! When we arrived, they literally had the red carpet rolled out for us, since it was a special media invite only night.  If you look behind Broxton, one of the emp...
