Atlanta, Georgia TRIP Day 3/4


Today is fun for me, and it's very boring for you. What's a trip without an amusement park! Kind of like, what's a LEGO set without flick-fire missiles!
NO, WE DID NOT GO TO SIX FLAGS. We went to Six Flags: White Water Atlanta!
It was about 30 minutes away, maybe 20 miles. The location is really weird, to me. It's like you created a park, and then you had a map, and you just randomly place the park, like a stamp. Figures, because Six Flags bought the park, didn't make it. The park used to be owned by another company, but something like a disease spread. It was located on a street with restaurants and stores, but not that closely. They probably had the whole lot. It was hidden in woods, and the only thing you can see from a side angle is a parking lot and a Six Flags: White Water Atlanta sign. I read online that this is the only water park of Six Flags that isn't named Six Flags: Hurricane Harbor.
Admission was around $30 per person, plus tax, locker, and refreshments. Probably totals to $100 with 2 people. This is going to be very boring, but let me just describe to you what the slides were like.
In one section, there were 2 enclosed racer flumes, 3 body fumes at different levels (each one like 2-5 feet taller) and ends with a splashdown (so those are really fun, and short lines!), a short body ride that is up in the air and lands in 6 feet tall water, 2 racer slides that went down, straight, down, straight. That one was kind of scary. It wasn't 95 degrees down, though. Not that intense. Good enough for people to sit and maybe enjoy a 3 second meal. 1 French Fry! There were also 2 single-rider floats that were like regular slides, except at some point you get in this small pool area, and lifeguards push you down. There was also a very fun but challenging for those not so daring: Leapfrog! Or at least that's what I think. There are pads on the water, and you have to get across the pads. Luckily, there are cables for you to hold on at the top. Now we just need a TV with cable, and everything will be complete.
There was a wave pool (and while I was on it, a lifeguard pretended to drown for training other guards), the Tornado ( This is the ride when you end with a funnel-shaped thing, you go from side to side, and usually the float carries 4 peeps. The funnel thing is called Tornado, made by ProSlide Technology!), A kid section, Lazy River (no waterfalls or anything, but there is a rest place where you get away from the Lazy River while still on the river, there is no current), 2 body flume racers that go into the Lazy River, 2 ring/raft rides at different locations, and a few more, and that's about it. Very BORING! By the way, there is a small park (probably 5 rides) next door to Six Flags (In fact, the path connects with each other!), but the land was sold or something, and now it is all closed 4EVER!
For dinner, we had something very different. Not for Korean people, though, because we are going to a Korean BBQ Buffet named "Chow Won Buffet"! I actually had no idea that it was different than regular buffets until I got there, because they (the employees) cook the meat for you! The vegetables were already cooked, but the meat were raw. There were bacon, beef, pork, etc. One thing I noticed was that everyone was Korean! Well, there was one group that had non-Korean, but they knew how to use chopsticks! >>>>:(
One bad thing is that the camera wasn't here, so this is actually even more BORING! But I can tell you what I ate: bacon, beef, an egg roll, vegetables, and noodles. While I was eating, I saw a note at the restaurant that said something like don't waste the beef, or else they charge!
