Acrophobia at Six Flags Over Georgia, Austell, Georgia

Todd's fear of drop rides, observation towers and any non coaster ride that takes you more than ten feet in the air is legendary so on this trip we decided to give him some "tough love" and help him work through his fears as a life lived in fear is a life half lived.  He just fought some of our love a little bit.  That's ok because I spent seven years studying Kempo Jujitsu and we worked a lot on joint locks and putting people in a lot of pain.

After I told him to "Man up, Ya Nancy" he got on Acrophobia and strapped in for one of the best, and most terrifying drop rides out there.  Oh, here we all are with Bond on the far left, the amazing Hikaru Chan from the Negative-G Forums, myself, Mike, Todd and Travis.

It's a nice relaxing ride to the top of Acrophobia as you get a great view of one of the prettiest Six Flags parks.  Then at the top all of that relaxation ends when the seats tilt out twenty degrees and you're able to look straight down.

Looking straight down you see that nice hard concrete pad hundreds of feet below you and even if you've been on this ride again and again your brain screams when it sees certain doom and concrete rushing up at you.  Of course the brakes kick in just in time for the massive flow of adrenaline to surge through your body giving you one hell of a high.
