The Ninja roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, Austell, Georgia

Ninja was different this year with the addition of an Arrow Dynamics designed train from the now defunct Great American Scream Machine that used to be at Six Flags Great Adventure.  Ninja is a Vekoma coaster but Vekoma licensed the track and train designs from Arrow so it was easy to switch out the trains.  Supposedly the Arrow trains would make the ride smoother but honestly I couldn't tell any difference. 

The Riverview Carousel at Six Flags Over Georgia, Austell, Georgia

A must visit for me at Six Flags Over Georgia is the Riverview Carousel.

Not only is it one of the most gorgeous and well cared for carousels out there but my family has been riding this for generations.

In 1908 this carousel opened up at Riverview Park in Chicago where my great grandparents rode it, then my grandparents and my parents.  I rode it at Six Flags Over Georgia and so has Bond.  So far we have had five generations take this carousel for a spin.  What's great is someday my grandchildren will get to ride it and so on.
