Read to Succeed is a free educational program sponsored by Six Flags to inspire kids in grades K through 6 to engage in recreational reading. Students who complete six hours of recreational, nonschool-related reading are eligible to earn a free admission ticket to a participating Six Flags theme park.

Teachers whose classes participate and complete the program are also eligible to earn a free ticket. Schools must be within a mile radius of a participating Six Flags theme park in order to participate.

Parking was a breeze! There are also three trams pick up locations in the parking lots that will shuttle you to the front entrance. We walked and were to the entrance before people that we saw waiting for the tram. Lines were LONG to get in the park, at 11 am. All you have to do is show them your Discover card, and give them your tickets and you get an express entrance!

Once in the park, we quickly got a map, and Caleb decided we should head to the Gotham City section right away. The majority of the park is all connected to each other part, but it seems that Gotham is not, so this seemed like a good strategy to get in and out of this area and then hit the rest of the park.

There were plenty of rides and lots of carnival-style games for an additional cost as well as shops and food vendors. We rode some rides here and then decided to get some drinks. This was where we encountered our biggest difficulty. Six Flags has two special drink mugs for purchase, one that provides free refills for the season , and another that will offer free refills for the day, with the cost being based on how many are being purchased.

We waited in line at four separate locations before finally being able to purchase a single day mug as everywhere else was sold out. This process took us close to an hour, and we spoke with some other people that had been looking for more than one hour.

Once we got our drinks, we decided that it was close enough to lunchtime so we set off in search of food. We enjoyed a good lunch; pulled pork bbq for my son, chicken strips for Mrs. Chad, and a foot-long hot dog for me. All came with fries, and with our special mugs, free refills on the drinks! We then took the Six Flags steam train to another part of the park and continued our quest for fun! My son, who has ridden small and medium-sized roller coasters before, and is tall enough to ride most of them at Six Flags, was a bit intimidated by the size of the coasters.

Therefore we choose to stick with the smallest of the roller coasters, the Dahlonega Mine Train. We rode in the front car, and really enjoyed it!

This coaster is perfect for younger kids who are not quite ready to try the big ones, and has a height requirement of 42 inches. Our wait was a little less than 30 minutes. We met back up with mom, who had been exploring while we waited, saw some costumed characters walking about, and went to the Monster Mansion.
