Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

Just to get some ideas. What are other teams doing in Atlanta to have extra fun besides the comp and social event?:cool:

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

Honestly there's very little time for anything else, but the World of Coca Cola and Underground Atlanta are nearby, those would be the closest short term attractions.

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

World of Coke will be closed during Championship's due to a move to a new building next to the Georgia Aquarium which is next to Centennial Olympic Park. The aquarium as you may know is the worlds largest and is a great place to visit if you have time. The park is where the wrap party is held on Saturday night.

We TechnoKats are going to the Braves game!

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

There could also be NHL playoff hockey at Philips arena right next to the GA Dome during Championship's. The Atlanta Thrashers will be in the playoffs but the schedule has yet to be determined. Dave

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

There also might be a braves game going on at home.

The game won't be on Friday because the hawks and wizards play there on Friday

Good call. Forgot about our easily forgettable basketball team. This of course would be another alternative for people as there should be a lot of tickets available.

Maybe Thrashers game on Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday nights then. Dave

and the sad part up there is the tickets are more expensive than down here in Orlando.

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

We may go to the aquarium and CNN again

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

My mom's been talking about snatching up us college mentors and renting a car and having a night out on the town...

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

I'm not into NHL much. But I'm up for whatever

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

We always like a run thru the centennial fountains, same place as where the social is held. Its fun but make sure you bring towels for the walk back.

Special Events other than just a water fountain is included with that.

Quote:

The Fountain of Rings is the centerpiece of Centennial Olympic Park and is one of the most recognized and photographed landmarks in Georgia. Millions of international and local guests visit the Park every year to enjoy the world's largest interactive fountain featuring the Olympic Ring symbol. Its photographic image also greets millions of visitors at the Atlanta Airport and delights a new generation as the State’s representative on the latest Here & Now Monopoly game board.

It’s free to view the Fountain of Rings show, which plays four times a day, 365 days a year, at 12:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Come and see the water come alive to these songs (songs vary per show):

1812 Overture – Tchaikovsky
Summon the Heroes – John Williams
Chariots of Fire – Electronix
William Tell Overture – Gioacchino Rossini
Under the Sea – Samuel E. Wright
Twist and Shout – The Beatles
Sir Duke – Stevie Wonder
Dancing in the Street – Martha Reeves and the Vandellas

I want to catch at least one show with some cool music when it happens.

One show should be going on during the wrap party at 9pm Saturday Night... (or right about the time it ends)

Re: Spicing Up Your ATL Trip

There is also Stone Mountain that is close by but requires a bus or car to drive you to, great hike up and amazing view once you are at the top.

The Underground is really cool lots of shopping and stuff to waste money on.
There is also the ever great time of frisby, hackysac football, soccer etc etc with other teams.
