coasterdude5 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I took a trip to Six Flags over Georgia on Saturday. Fortunately, unlike the same trip last year, the temperature was warm and the skies were clear, but, unfortunately for my group, the nice weather brought the crowds. Although the lines were short during the morning hours, they quickly grew by mid-afternoon. The Fright Fest was somewhat weak compared to Six Flags Great America's (it's the only other one I've been to), but it wasn't bad by any means. Georgia Scorcher was the surprise of the trip. I had heard it was smooth but I really fell in love with the ride's compact layout and fast manuevers. The only employee problem we encountered during the entire day was “Destiny” who was stationed outside the entrance of Goliath. We entered the line around 8:30, after confirmation from another employee that we would would get on the ride if we entered the queue before 9:30. However, Destiny began telling the crowd that the wait time was two and a half hours and that we only had a 25% chance of getting on the ride. Some guests left the line, but others (including our group) were enraged and were dead set on getting on the ride. As people began arguing with her, she shouted at the crowd that she wanted to go home, threw her hands up in the air, and walked away. Luckily we got on the ride without problems, but her actions were tacky and uncalled for. Remember, Destiny, the guests always come first! But I applaud the other countless employees that were great hosts and hostesses to our group. We had a great day! Click here to see all of the pictures from the day. Ice cream and coasters? Who could ask for anything else? I've never understood the logo, but I totally get the coaster! Deconstruction of some existing structures is well underway for Dare Devil. Georgia Cyclone was nothing like SFGAm's Viper. Perhaps I shouldn't have sat in the back! Georgia Scorcher made me very happy. It was smooth as glass, a far cry from Iron Wolf's head bashing. Ninja wasn't nearly as painful as some Vekomas I've been on. The GASM was great. We were on the first train out of S:UF after a lengthy closure. It was a bit nerve wracking! I didn't get to ride Mindbender, unfortunately, as it was one of my favorite rides from last year. Batman looked great with its new coat of paint. But the 90 minute wait wasn't as great. More Goliath is never bad. I could smelll the chainsaws before I could see them. Wheelie Superman broke down again while we were in line. Ninja looks great at night. Red fog is never a good thing. Ghouls were chasing people through this tunnel of greenery. Georgia Scorcher at night was great. Goodbye Georgia Cyclone! See ya later! Thanks for reading.
ernierocker Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 For the Georgia Scorcher, I followed the advice of Erik Johnson and sat in the 2nd seat from the back last season. One of the best rides I have ever had on it!
CpBluestreakCp Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Great TR, too bad Superman kept breaking down on you. Beautiful day as well.
