boldikus Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Was at the park on Saturday for the day before spending the rest of the weekend with my sister who lives in Athens (currently posting from Chicken and Beer at the ATL airport). Was there from a little before noon until a little after 9pm and had a great day. Great weather and super light crowds until 6pm/FF but even then the coaster lines were totally manageable. I rode Cyclone and Goliath at least a dozen times each through the day, both were running impeccably (save for Cyclones trains making weird noises earlier in the day and both trains having rows roped off). I basically spent 7-9pm reriding Cyclone as many times as possible, as the wait was mostly halfway down the station stairs or I was just jumping in empty seats on the same train. Haven’t ridden an RMC besides Jersey Devil since I visited Cedar Point in 2019 and forgot how absurd the airtime can be. Shit! Had a great lunch and drinks at JBs and also managed rides on Mindbender (the new trains are a little tight for me but the ride is still great), Pandemonium, Dar Devil Dive, Blue Hawk and that was basically it. a TL;DR: Had an awesome day Saturday. Got drunk and rode Goliath and Cyclone a million times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 The park is offering trails for no additional cost on Friday nights through Fright Fest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Found this out while driving down to Atlanta this afternoon. Great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEDodd Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I didn't see much discussion. But looks like the passes are back to more reasonable prices right now. At SFoG, Gold good now through Sep 4 2023, $65. Platinum Good til Jan 2024 and White Water for $90 (in August it was all parks). Takes the $250 Diamond to get all parks though. Still not liking the short season for Gold pass. Meal passes too. $110 for 1 meal, $150 for 2 meals. Not great, but given inflation the last 2 years not horrible. Looks like similar at other parks.

Lightning Rod Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Does anyone know when Six Flags over Georgia posts the new schedule? Or Six Flags in general? I’m trying to plan a road trip stop on the way down to Busch Gardens Tampa and Sea World plus Fun Spot Atlanta in mid April. I’m driving from Minneapolis and stopping at Over Georgia first it’s on the way. Trying to make plans for stopping on the weekend of the April 8th. Is Over Georgia normally open weekends in April? Is that the best time slower crowds? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 According to their website they are open all week April 1-9 for spring break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The username Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 They open for the season in early March, 4th or 5th, can't remember off the top of my head. Should be open when you're that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 HAHAHA. . RMC's response! gotta wonder if something is going into the eyesore that is Tidal Wave's Splashwater Falls' spot? a single rail would fit in there wonderfully! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The username Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Let's get speculating. A single rail would be dope, anything but a freespin in that spot would me make really happy. This would be a huge W for the park. I'd buy a season pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 wasn't there rumor that SF had purchased TWO single rail from Skyline? could this be the 2nd one? I mean, the spacing (going where Splashwater Falls was) fits, with the Older Kids range of Skyline's single rails. It's right behind the older Kids section (Justice League themed) and right next door to Joker's Funhouse coaster. tho why would RMC comment tho?

bert425 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 then again, Great American Scream Machine has been running awful for years now. wouldn't it be cool to have that RMCd as well? I wouldn't mind being so off base, that GASM is getting redone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The username Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 They've been retracting GASM for awhile now. The old cyclone trains have been doing a number on the track though. Wish the 3 bench ptcs would come back. Now if rmc was doing a wooden retrack... I would be very interested to see how that turns out. OG was one of the first parks to introduce topper track, would be cool to become a test bed for rmc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tndank Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It's the same as the new Fiesta Texas single rail. ACE twitter has pics from the slides shown this afternoon at No CoasterCon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But. . . why wouldn't but more importantly, why shouldn't they reply and interact with each other? Behind these park and coaster accounts are people who have created bonds and friendships within the industry. Why do we feel that because X and Y communicated in a public forum that something is brewing or why is X commenting on Y's seemingly teasing something when it's not them supplying. This is why I giggle every time someone takes something the park or designer literal and get all excited for nothing lol lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 they SHOULD. tho they tend not to.. hence it's curious when two business-related entities communicate via business accounts. I mean, I don't blink an eye when Jeffrey Siebert tweets from his private account (which he does all the time) in a Kings Island post. but you bet it would pique my curiosity if the Six Flags Fiesta Texas account did that. in this case, I find it super interesting that RMC commented when the announcement was Skyline's single rail. But that's about it.. "super interesting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 ^RMC manufactured the track for the Skywarp at SFDK. It wouldn't surprise me if Skyline continued to outsource the manufacturing of the track to RMC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
