Dragon*con '09: it will be EPIC

London would probably be the cheapest option, at least for the Brits on board... being the capitol and all.

**Yog** · Feb 27th, 2008, 07:47:06 PM

^^ makes most sense yeah. Nevertheless, would have to think about it etc.

I am delighted I have already some volunteers for this! Muahahaha

Here are some YouTube videos for inspiration:

"Pretty smooth ride.. that was not so bad was it?"

"Are you sure this is a good idea!

Wow, the Superman one looks... *gulp!*

**Vince** · Feb 27th, 2008, 08:20:20 PM

Dear God! Me and whomever I'm dragging along to this thing will DEFINITELY be up for the Roller coasters, especially Batman and Superman. Goliath seems a lot like Apollo's Chariot in Busch Gardens for me.

I'll most likely be able to head out for a while, though it'll be centred for me and my friends around Six Flags, but damn if I won't waste some time with you guys.

I know one of my friends won't be able to resist the roller-coasters.

Charley knows how I am on rollercoasters.

We went to Six Flags Over Georgia!

Going on a day trip to Six Flags is an awesome idea and should be planned into the experience. Perhaps a day before the convention or a day after? Some people may want to factor in rental car cost as the people who live close by probably don't own their own buses.

**Karl Valten** · Feb 27th, 2008, 10:40:37 PM

Oh, HELL yes. I want to compare Six Flags - Great America to this place. Oh, Miranda, my sister and I will probably be hiking it out via car. We'd probably be heading by the Chicago are if transportation is an issue for you.

Okay I'm coming over too, and similarly to Jen I'd be coming a bit earlier than that too so yeah... *puts hand up cautiously* ... I'd be extremely grateful to anyone willing to put me up for a while before the con (if there's no room other than outside I'm fine bringing my tent

). Same as Jen I'd stay in some place in Atlanta during the con - maybe we can get something cheaper than those hotels?

I'll be able to invade the US from London, too.... actually I'll even take Nya with me, since her dad can pick her up then and have her for a while or so. I'll probably have two weeks to travel around so maybe I can visit some more people...

Here is an (unofficial) guide to 6 flags in Georgia. Good stuff

Haha yeah, my place during the con is a bit impossible, but since peeps are coming out from overseas, and not to mention from more than a few states away, and staying for longer than the con itself I figured anyone who wants one has a place here

ps - I'm so up for some rollercoasters

***Razielle Alastor*** · Feb 28th, 2008, 08:03:35 AM

Apollo's Chariot in Busch Gardens

Yeaaaah, but that one has an awesome first drop!

I have to start saving like..right now.

but it will be so worth it!

***Dasquian Belargic*** · Feb 28th, 2008, 08:31:13 AM

I think I'd probably like to stay over there for somewhere in the region of 2 weeks, since it's unlikely that I'd be able to avoid visiting again any time soon!

**Karl Valten** · Feb 28th, 2008, 08:42:45 AM

For those of us who might be staying in hotels. You think we could get a better deal with group rates if we signed on as a huge posse?

Tri'ahna Zylary · Feb 28th, 2008, 08:53:03 AM

Probably.... what other options besides hotels are there anyway?

Jen - wanna rent a car and drive around the US for two weeks?

**Sam** · Feb 28th, 2008, 09:29:54 AM

Roller coasters = yes.

Sounds like a perfect group activity.

***Loklorien s'Ilancy*** · Feb 28th, 2008, 09:41:38 AM

In addition to hotel group rates, I'm sure we could get a group discount at Six Flags

***Dasquian Belargic*** · Feb 28th, 2008, 09:49:28 AM

Group rates sounds ver smart indeed.

Can you drive? If so, yes!

Tri'ahna Zylary · Feb 28th, 2008, 10:04:01 AM

Of course I can. I even have an international driver's license hehehehe..... and I might just be able to get someone in my extended family over there to loan me a car for a while.....

If you're serious about it, let's talk about that some time on AIM
