On Sunday August 29th we hopped
into the car bright and early and took the four hour drive south to
the Chattanooga area for a nice afternoon at Lake Winnepesaukah, or
as most people call it Lake Winnie, with some great rides and great
friends.
One day a year Lake Winnie
has an event for members of ACE, The American Coaster Enthusiasts where
they let us into the park for free and give us some exclusive ride time
on their two adult coasters, the Wild Lightning mouse and the John Allen
designed Cannon Ball rollercoaster.
Lake Winnie really shows what "southern
hospitality" really is with their generosity. Just a quick
note my on ride photographs were taken with permission.
The Cannon Ball was added to
lake Winnie back in 1967 and is really a fantastically fun coaster.
The Cannon Ball has two trains,
one blue and one grey, paying homage to both sides of the Civil War
that fought several battles nearby in the Chattanooga area.
