If you've visited the world's largest hunk of exposed granite featuring a giant relief sculpture of Confederate leaders Lee, Jackson and Davis then you know what it is to feel your proud Southern heritage welling up inside you. Offering a Civil War museum, two hotels and a huge recreational spread, the park draws scores of unwashed visitors who you don't want to share a tram ride to the top of the mountain with. The restored antebellum plantation, scenic railroad and paddlewheel boat are popular. But the best event is the "free laser show" that allows you to witness greater Atlanta's lower class child rearing (or should I say beating) at its best, especially when witnessed against the backdrop of the late Elvis Presley crooning Glory, Glory Haleluia as the laser animated pieces of General Lee's broken saber regroup into the reunited states of the Post Civil War U.S. It's a chilling tribute to the War of Northern Agression and definitely worth the $8.00 price of admission to the park.
Pros: Laser Show, Laser Show, Laser Show!!!
Cons: Tram Ride = Rip Off!!!
