So you and your friends are heading to Six Flags this summer. They’re all talking about riding the new Dare Devil roller coaster and taking a spin on the Ninja.
On the other hand, you’re just hoping to survive the kiddie roller coaster, Dahlonega Mine Train. Here are some rides that will give you thrills without all the chills.
Thunder River. This ride sits you in a circular water tube that goes down a bumpy river. Laugh with friends, or strangers, as the tube spins down the water. Who will get splashed when bumped against the waves? Who will land directly under the waterfall?
Dodge City Bumper Cars. Who can forget this classic? Yes, you’ll probably get stuck for a minute behind someone who doesn’t understand how to reverse, but it’s still fun to go around running into all of your friends. Plus, the abundance of cars makes for a fast moving line.
Lickskillet Sky Buckets. See Six Flags with brand new eyes as the ride lifts you way up above the theme park. Sit comfortably in the bucket as you travel all across the park and see how the guests have turned into ants and the roller coasters into toys.
Splash Water Falls. It’s about 101 degrees outside, and you’re looking for any possible way to cool down. Turn to Splash Water Falls, where you’re guaranteed to be drenched in water. The drop may be a little scary, but cooling off in the heat will be well worth it.
Sky Coaster. It’s not quite a roller coaster, but it’s certainly not a children’s ride. You’re put into a harness, then lifted ten stories into the air. At the count of three, you’re dropped and sent flying. Unfortunately, these thrills come at a price: $35 for one person, $40 if you can convince a friend to accompany you.
