Default Stopped by PEC Atlanta this afternoon

I was in ATL for the day and decided to stop by the PEC before my flight back home. I hadn't made any appointments but nonetheless I decided to drive up to the gate and spoke to the attendant. He politely said there were no availabilities for the simulation. I then asked for a tour and at the same moment another attendant appeared and luckily found a timeslot for me for the simulation. I felt like I was 3 years old again as I walked through the doors.

The simulation was amazing, the force feedback felt a bit artificial at first but I'm sure it's quite precise in terms of steering feel especially over the bumps and edges of the track. The rest of the PEC was absolutely incredible!

Awesome pics.

Hey op, last time I was in Atlanta, I just drove up to the Center, and they didn't let me in as I did not have any reservations in anything over there.

What did you exactly say, and how did you they let you in with out any reservations

EDIT : Nevermind I re-read your post again - Yep, you asked for Simulation reservation and got in
