The Cannon Ball Rollercoaster at Lake Winnepesaukah, Rossville, Georgia

The Cannon Ball doesn't have individual lap bars like most coasters but instead has the classic "buzz bars" that used to be standard on wood coasters to lock you and your riding partner in.  Jim and I tried out the front, back and middle and there was no bad seat on the Cannon Ball.  That's the mark of a great coaster.

Wild Lightnin' was added to Lake Winnie in 2001.  It was originally named "Wild Thing" but another amusement park far away had a coaster named that and asked Lake Winnie to change the name.  So it changed from a Wild Thing to Wild Lightnin'.

Wild Lightnin' is a wild mouse coaster that was built by L&T Systems.  It is packed with plenty of insanely sharp turns and some wicked drops.

In addition to the turns and dips the Wild Lightnin' sends you speeding through and very close to it's structure for some additional thrills.
