Sixflags12345678 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well they haven't posted any teasers about Thursdays "big" announcement like great america or fiesta texas. so I'm guessing its not that big of deal? Or...? It so big of a deal they want it to be an absolute surprise without hints...? Now you've got my head spinning. Yeah I'm a bit confused here too. The link what was posted with the article makes it sound outstanding but with them not posting teasers and promoting August 29th like great America and fiesta texas makes me wonder...

sirspanky53 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Maybe the announcement of the southern star closing and demolished was all the teaser they wanted to give. I mean we all know how big the location is and the countless possibilities it holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixflags12345678 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 ^That may very well be true! I just hope it's not a waterpark... But whatever fiesta texas is getting. It sounds really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixflags12345678 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 After doing a lot of thinking and after reading that article which quoted "Dale Kaetzel, park president, said he would be making an announcement next week about a major capital investment in the park that will transform Six Flags Over Georgia, “taking it to places it’s never been.” And with the statement on Facebook saying wondering why we're posting so many southern star photos, stay tuned for a big surprise, and than thinking about the ride surveys given about the african themed attraction and waterpark. If you put all these together I'd say we could see a brand new mid sized coaster a small skull island expansion and maybe a new concert venue with a small expansion to the park Itself. Yeah I know I said a lot but this is what I could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I've got a strong feeling SFOG is getting their own Hurricane Harbor for 2014. Not that I wish for it, I just feel all signs are pointing that direction. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That would make sense. Water parks are doing very well right now, and adding a few slides every year is much cheaper than adding a coaster every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The thing is why would Six Flags compete with themselves by adding another water park to SFOG? According to the 2012 attendance report, SFWW is the 12th most attended water park in the U.S. Why would Six Flags try to build a new water park if the existing one is already bringing in the numbers? I'm sorry, but none of this is making sense. I can see an expansion to Skull Island, but an entirely new water park? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFZIP Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Six Flags White Water is not outright owned by Six Flags corporate, it is owned by the same limted partnership group that owns Six Flags Over Georgia. So SF corporate cannot just decide to close White Water unless that is what the limited partership group wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joester23 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 who thinks should close this airport next to sfog so they can build a coaster above 240 feet www.fsifulfillment.com/blog/image.axd?picture=2011%2F11%2FSixFlags2011a.jpg and plus they have atl intenational not to far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edh Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yea what a great idea. Lets tear an airport down just to build a 400ft coaster. will NEVER happen. That airport is for small planes that people use so they can prioritize the larger aircrafts for Hartsfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixflags12345678 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If you really think about it. I'm starting to doubt that will get a waterpark. I feel we may get some type of new coaster and a small expansion to skull island honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it less bluntly - I don't think that it's going to happen. Apparently Goliath is a kick-butt coaster anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
