I have gone every Easter Sunday for the past 7 years. It is always a GREAT day to hit the park. Very light crowds.

Is Good Friday the same you think? Im really considering going on 3/29.

[Brad]

^Good Friday is usually part of the park's "Christian Music Weekend." Not sure if they are doing this in 2013.

 

Easter Sunday is always the best bet that weekend.

Easter Sunday's the absolute best day to go. Gone then for the past few years, awesome day if you don't want any crowds,

[visualmusic]

I am thinking about booking for one of the weekends after spring break (4/27-4/29), I have a feeling it would die down a bit? Since you guys started mentioning the March 31st I am tempted and it is on a Sunday! (Y) hmmm

I wonder if Sky Screamer has had a few more pieces installed yet . Any pics would be awesome.

We've been getting quite a bit of rain down here lately-that has probably been slowing things down a lot.

Last year the one at Fiesta Texas had the base built in late Jan./early February but then didn't have the rest of the tower built until the last two weeks of March.

Just put on Screamscape that we should start seeing the tower go Skyward within the next 2 weeks.

This is a tale that will be called, The Legend of YOLO: Skyward Star Flyer! (Been playing that game alot, and decided to make that joke)

[Voxelmatic]

^^Awesome! Let's just hope that it doesn't take very long to go up.

Nice aerials! I never really realized how colorful SFOG's coaster collection is until now.

 

Edit: I also see pieces for SkyScreamer in the parking lot!

[coasterbear30]

Yeah, definitely nice photos of my home park! I agree that our parks coasters are very colorful and I haven't really noticed it until now either.

[sirspanky53]

Were those taken from a helicopter or plane?

[Aceattack52]

Ah ho what's that in the parking lot!

[Geauga Dog]

Beautiful aerials of a beautiful park. Quite amazing how hidden Mindbender is in those photos.

[GayCoasterGuy]

Great pictures! Everytime I drive to the park, I nearly get in a wreck when I see Mind Bender. File under "you know your a coaster nerd when..."

[jynx242]

^ Agreed!

 

Just under 6 weeks and I'll be there!!

[jray21]

I really miss Mindbender. I haven't ridden it since the 2009 TPR trip! I'm definitely due for a visit.

[Meteornotes]

^Same. Mindbender is one of the best coasters in the world, and SFOG is a really good park. Need to get back there sometime soon!

[ernierocker]

Thanks for the aerial photos! Can't wait to get back to the park, hopefully sometime this year.

Commercial plane. Just happened to be in the right spot on descent into Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) where I was changing planes. I have one more I'll post later tonight from my way back to Ohio a few days later, but it's totally shrouded in fog and will be worth more of a laugh than anything else . Glad the pictures were of some value here!

[The Great Zo]

OK, from Wednesday the 20th... I present sfog

 

Just a little bit hazy! SFOG's down there somewhere...

 

Same picture + a dose of Photoshop = Six Flags Over Georgia.

 

(meteorologist's note: it wasn't actually fog, just low ceilings)

[simaticable]

The irony is that the first thing I saw in the first picture was GASM.

[visualmusic]

I noticed the season passes are available and on sale...

 

I am going the weekend of April 27-29.

 

If i purchase the season pass now when does it expire?
