rydrmr9 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 This is my first trip report and it's of Six Flags Over Georgia! My photos are ok I guess but I'll let you guys decide. Enjoy! Let's start off in Atlanta. Pretty cool city. Olympics sign and torch. Turner field. I got to go to a Braves game on 4/16/09, They lost. On to Six Flags!! The best picture I took there. lol Batman: the ride More Batman Mindbender from the tram. GASM = Insanely rough! I waited an hour for this! lol Superman Ultimate flight. Waited an hour for it, it was pretty good. My first Flyer. Sorry I didn't get many pictures of superman. Sadly I did not ride the Ninja. As you can see I really didn't want to wait an hour for it because I didn't have enough advill for the after ride headache! lmao Ehhh......not a day for thunder river. Got to ride Goliath and I must say it had alot of ejector airtime in the back! I went over to gotham city, didn't ride batman but did ride mindbender. Acrophobia was a really scarry/insane ride! Well despite the incredibly long lines and rude people it was a pretty fun day! ~Ryan
kidcoaster 2 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 GASM was a good ride. Just dont sit in an Axel seat you get a much better ride. Great PTR though.
Erik Johnson Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Wow, the park was packed that day. I have never seen Ninja's queue full like that before.
CoasterEricHP Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 ^ There had to be a large convention of masochists at the park that day for lines at Ninja to be THAT long... Great TR! I went to SFOG two years ago and was really impressed, the park was beautiful and the rides were mostly great! I'm still wondering why the mine train felt like it CRASHED in one of the tunnels! I guess living 90 minutes away from Six Flags America, I'm impressed whenever I go to a Six Flags park with decent operations and.. trees!
rydrmr9 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 ^^^Well thats where I went wrong. lol ^^yea it was, I waited atleast an hour for almost everything! but it was fun. Goliath was the best and last ride of the day and I cant wait to go back! ^Well I live an hour from ALL the florida parks so it has tough competition. Thanks ~Ryan
almightyfire Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 This park is one of the prettiest of the chain but the coaster selection sucks pretty much. Goliath is probably the best in the chain of Goliaths but the only beef I have with it is it is way too short of a ride but actually delivers more thrill than the others and also this park had the WORSE operations of any park I had been to with Great Adventure following. Lazy and sluggish employees. There is no excuse for ANY train to load over 1 1/2 mins.
rydrmr9 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Yea I noticed that after a few rides. and this is the only six flags park I've been to since it the closest one from where I live.
zeke11793 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Nice TR! I was supposed to go to Six Flags over Spring Break, but my parents didn't let me... but it looks pretty fun.
rydrmr9 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 ^ Thanks! But you should go on a weekday if you do go anytime soon.
sfmmrules! Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Why does everyone say Acrophobia is the scariest drop ride? Isn't Drop Zone at CGA just as scary?
rydrmr9 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 Well acrophobia adds that extra 18" tilt at the top and your almost facing straight down when you drop! I know its not as tall but IMO its way scarier!

Lazy and sluggish employees. There is no excuse for ANY train to load over 1 1/2 mins. I couldn't possibly disagree with you more. I am famous for bashing my home park. I agree that our operations are terrible. That is mainly what I complain about. Also, a couple years ago SFGAdv's operations may not have been that great but have been outstanding in the past two years. As for the coaster selection, I think we have a great selection with 4 B&Ms. Goliath continues to be my favorite B&M hyper as I really struggle to see what people see in Nitro. They are basically the same rides but with the hammerhead and helix switched but Goliath has so much more airtime. Nitro is very tame and has nothing more than slight floater air on a few of its hills. Also, not being a fan of stand ups, Georgia Scorcher is the best one I have been on. We have a great Schwarzkopf with Mindbender. Also, while Batman and Superman are clones, they are favorites with the general public and most enthusiasts love Batman. While I feel that our lineup was much stronger with Dejavu (very unreliable but something unique that everybody loved), we still have great coasters.
rydrmr9 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 ^ I couldn't agree with you more!! This was my first time to SFOG and I loved the coaster selection! I really like superman and especially Goliath!
tanthonyam Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Hmmm, I guess the economy isnt that bad? Lots of people out spending money at theme parks.
almightyfire Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I didnt say that you shouldnt like the selection I said that I didnt. I did find the green coaster by the batman to be the most fun after goliath, but if u have been to SFMM and road Viper, the Ninja would pale in comparison. If u been to SFMM and road Tatsu, Superman would pale in comparison and so on. I guess it is all about where everyone has been. I did say that the park is extremely pretty, probably the most with the trees and the hills. Also the last time I was at SFGA was in 2005 and it was horrible then but i have heard that it is better now. I have just gotten immuned to SF period. Most of them have clones from another and no originality. Goliath is wonderful but needed to be 1000ft longer to be a killer coaster. The thrill is over too quickly.

While I feel that our lineup was much stronger with Dejavu (very unreliable but something unique that everybody loved), we still have great coasters. Goliath rocks, but the operations are horrible. With two trains, they were stacking like crazy. And they did make up for it....they said if we scream and have our hands up the whole time, we get an extra ride! And that's how I got two back to back rides...in the front; and then back to back....in the back! On Cyclone, one of the ride operators took my seat; I was waiting for a good 5 minutes, and he blatantly saw me waiting...and he just sat in my seat and dispatched! Horrible service and operations.....bad ass rides and a pretty park. That's SFOG. Acrophobia is freaking amazing.

Most of them have clones from another and no originality. Goliath is wonderful but needed to be 1000ft longer to be a killer coaster. The thrill is over too quickly. Also, as far as Goliath needing to be longer, its really the same length in time as the other hypers. The only reason Nitro is 1,000 feet longer is due to the fact that each hill is slightly taller. Also, PKI Man, how does Diamondback compare to Goliath? I will be visiting your park in a week on my way to my new park for the summer, Cedar Point.
rydrmr9 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 yes most of the coasters wern't up to my standards either due to the fact that I live an hour from all the florida parks and can go to IOA,BGA,USF, SWO,and more when ever i want. but Goliath did feel really short but so does sheikra, hulk, and dueling dragons.
Electerik Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I did find the green coaster by the batman to be the most fun after goliath The green coaster? Dude, you can have any opinion you want, but if you're going to talk like the GP, you'll have to hand in your enthusiast card.
