boldikus Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Maybe I'm crazy but I swear they were running two trains (through one of the stations) on S:UF when I was @ the park in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstephe9 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 They where earlier in the season. I was there and they had both trains running Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamre4 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Maybe they will give it a major rehab this off season with it getting a new neighbor next year. I would like to see SFOG repaint the whole Cotton States Area, and maybe replace the themed elements like trash cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Corn Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Does anyone know how big this parcel of land they opened is? The permit said that the "disturbed area" would be around 1.6 acres. If there is more room, do you think we could get a coaster as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARLEYGUYJB Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Going to be visiting SFOG this weekend for the first time. Any good areas that has nice hotels that is no more than 30-45 min from the park. I like to go further out because rooms are usually cheaper.

dstephe9 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I stay at wingate right beside the park.. good free breakfast and easily walking distance.. its actually closer than most parking lots. To me it's worth the extra $30 for the breakfast and free parking.. no need to fight the ATL traffic either Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to go further out because rooms are usually cheaper. Hilton Garden Inn, Springhill Suites, and Fairfield Inn are all nice (for mid-grade hotels) and close to the park (less than a 10 minute drive).

I like to go further out because rooms are usually cheaper. Like others have said, the hotels right along the park are decent and not that expensive, but if they are sold out or if you want to save more money I would suggest staying west of the park along I-20. Keep in mind, SFOG is literally 10 minutes from downtown so anything to the east is close to the city. The area immediately east of the park is VERY ghetto and I would not suggest staying anywhere east of the park. I had to stop for gas once off the exit just east of the park and I had a group of unfortunate looking people eyeing me and as soon as the cop that was present left, one came over and asked me if I was looking for sex or drugs. So unless you need a sketchy prostitute or drugs, I would avoid staying in that general area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Corn Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 SFOG mark my words get a JL:BFM and a coaster next year. The reason is that a Justice League dark ride takes up about .52 acres, but the permit SFOG said that they would be using 1.6 acres next year. So what could they use that extra acre for... A PREMIER RIDES LAUNCH COASTER! Think, It cant be a T-Rex because the GM said that their new attraction(s) have been done before. An S&S 4D Free Fly with a huge queue wouldn't even get close to taking up that much room, and the only other things Six Flags installs besides RMCs, Justice League Dark Rides, and S&S's, (on the coaster side) are PREMIER RIDES LAUNCH COASTERS!!!!

That's a lot of money by Six Flags standards to be investing into a single park in a single year. it's gonna be a super-loop with a GIGANTIC queue line We already got a Super Loop.

Six Flags wouldn't get a ROI for two major attractions in the same year. There's 0% chance of a coaster and a dark ride happening in the same year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imissopryland Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The justice league takes up about a quarter of an acre. The disturbed area is 1.6 acres. There is some grade work towards the old Viper station. I believe it will face Superman, thus there is a need to clear more land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
