There is definitely track missing from Mindbender when you do an I-20 drive by. Hopefully some re-tracking in the rough areas!

Pandemonium is up! The park is absolutely PACKED!

Looks like the first pieces of Pandemonium have arrived!

If anyone knows what the movie code for 2BOB is, they’re filming at SFOG now.

The sign is awesome. We thought it was hysterical. Thank you for posting it...let’s hope this new paint job is done PROPERLY so the horrendous peeling doesn’t occur again! On that note, I wonder how long it will be before they get around to repainting poor sun-bleached Goliath

Not busy today for opening day! Ride lines aren’t bad at all, although most are running only one train. Here are a few pics of Scorcher in repaint mode

Turns out that when I went to go check out the Pandemonium construction in the old lickskillet entrance parking lot, the yellow train and purple track that would travel along the loop was in that parking lot behind the go-karts. What is going on with that ride?

Well I think it's safe to say that construction has finally started on SFOG newest addition for 2019, Pandemonium. I drove over to the old lickskillet entrance parking lot where the go-karts are located hoping something has started for the ride's construction and I can now confirm there is construction happening. The little building where Thomas' friends would be inside of in the back of whistlestop where the old Thomas Town train would travel around along the tracks is gone, and I think all or most of the train tracks is gone as well as I saw a bobcat machine in that area. So yes, Pandemonium is going in that area as I also saw signs that said "Construction Zone, Hard hats required." on the wood fence blocking the front entrance of whistlestop from the skybuckets.

^ You just had to did you?

Yeah that section will be open for HITP, they have the light bulbs screwed into the slots on the buildings.

A well-deserved, perfect fit for SFOG. The theming and color are spot on, but I think they could've worked on a better name since there are 5 other SF parks (SFOT, SFFT, SFNE, SFSTL, SFGE) with rides having the name "Pandemonium". This is the name I made up which I think would've been more fitting because of its theming. "Clockwork Chaos" <-- Nothing special but that's what I come up with from my head. Overall, cannot wait for this ride. '

Wow! That is a surprise. The fact that they were given free lifetime passes reminds me of the baby born at a Chick-Fil-A and was given a job offer and free food for life. Best wishes to the mom and baby.

There is no doubt that there is a lot of mystery going around on that ride on its "potential" removal. Seeing as how SFOG has plenty of water rides to cool off in the summer, Log Jamboree, Thunder River, and DD Bucket Blasters which is enough for the park. I wouldn't be surprised if Splashwater Falls is gonna bite the dust soon. Or heck! maybe it will be themed to Aquaman like SFOT considering that ride is literally "next'" to DC Super Friends. Oh well, we will find out soon enough what the 2019 attraction will be for SFOG at the end of August. (please be a flat ride)

I chatted with the Goliath post-ride photo attendants, and they seem to believe the construction will be for a Fright Fest attraction.

I know this is random but do any rides at SFOG have station music? I know this isn't an important concept to talk about but it is just around curiosity. (Goliath has station music, sprite soda commercial ads)

A lot of interesting stuff happening at SFOG for the unknown upcoming 2019 attraction. (please be a flat ride) A lot of mystery over by Splashwater Falls, this ride hasn't been in operation for a while now leaving it to wonder if this is the next ride to go? It could also be possible that SFOG could expand toward the parking lot near the Deja Vu area behind Gotham because that area is "NEVER" used. (except for trolleys) And for that construction by the Goliath queue area, i'm thinking possibly a restaurant or maybe they are just renovating that area. Heck, maybe SFOG will surprise us all with a HH expansion. Oh well, we will find out soon enough in August.

I don't know if i'm the only one who noticed but isn't the Character Clubhouse building next to the Dr. Fright's haunted house the former Freefall ride building entrance?

I'd like to know this too. One of the main reasons I decided to pull the trigger on a membership this year was because they advertised this as a perk. If they aren't going to do a soft opening for members, they really need to plan some other sort of event to make up for it. (Not just passholder previews for Fright Nights) Also, War Eagle. I called the park today to specifically ask about this and was told there WILL be a preview at the end of the week. She said watch the SFOG website for more details. I get the feeling the preview will have to be sometime on Friday since I think they're trying to have TS open to the public on Saturday. I also found a cached link that has not been made public yet but looks Very interesting. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:o8olLF450wcJ:https://www.sixflags.com/overgeorgia/special-events/celebration/twisted-cyclone-t-shirt-ride-event&num=1&client=firefox-b-1-ab&hl=en&gl=us&strip=0&vwsrc=0 Interesting, I remember SFOG doing a T-shirt preview for JL and then doing a season passholder preview for JL a few days after. But these soft opening dates for TC are getting confusing for me.

I'm guessing they are gonna get their trains soon considering Twisted Cyclone opens in 33 days. P.S, when you leave the exit it will be a beautiful sight to see the train soar through the overbank turn in front of you.

Tell Brazil if we can have our Déjà Vu back.

Coastal area at SFOG. The beach theme is so amazing and pretty!

If not then this is the only Deja Vu shirt I could find on the Internet. Not a very fancy shirt imo.

Imagine, just imagine if Vu was still here to this day with the new Twisted Cyclone, Blue Hawk, Dare Devil Dive, and Goliath. Oh and one last thing, did they sell any merchandise or shirts involving Déjà Vu at SFOG? Like Déjà Vu merchandise is what i'm saying. Just curious..

OMG!! Yes please!! A Premier Sky Rocket II would be a GREAT fit for the park!!! Yep! It is compact so I thought it would be a perfect addition considering the location it is in. But yet again, SFOG does need more flat rides so a Giant Discovery or a SkyWarp would be a great addition in that area too.

I kinda wish they gave Deja Vu a second chance considering the GIB (Goliath) at New England works like a charm. It's location was special since when you walked down to Lickskillet you see this green/blue coaster with two massive vertical towers. I always imagined what it was like if Deja Vu was still here today. And yes, I agree on your point. SFOG does need a launch coaster, the thing is location, maybe a Premier rides Sky Rocket II could go in the Whistlestop/Deja Vu area?
