Krandor Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Went to the media day today through macc and had a great time. Skyscremer loks intimidating but is really a great ride and not near as bad as it looks. This is going to be a great addition to the park. They did a thing at media day about pigs flying and even had a bunch of people ride dressed as pigs which was kinda cute. All in all it was a good time and an awesome new ride.

Was hard to make out a lot of the distant stuf because of how quickly the ride was spinning. The close stuff like the park looked great though. Really great views.

Jhcbiinoc Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wish I could have done this today as well. I am working on getting the nerve up to ride this. I am still shocked I got on Windseeker at Carowinds last month-although I got a last minute reprieve from conquering this irrational fear I have of mega-tall swing rides as it broke down before the ride started.

Jack4343 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi all. Just wanted to update an answer to a question I asked during spring break about early entry into SFOG with the new Gold Season Pass. They let us in 30 minutes early although, like in previous years, you aren't allows past the train bridges just past the Georgia Scorcher and the Georgia Cyclone and the only ride open during that time is the Cyclone. We got to ride the Cyclone several times with one time being just me and my 2 daughters which created a "I'm super-rich and rented the whole park for myself" type moment. LOL! While I do wish they'd open up more of the park during the 30 minute early entry, I'll take it. As everyone knows, riding the Cyclone first thing can be risky as even with the track repairs (which are great BTW), a wrong landing on the back rest going down one of those later hills can create some serious back pain for the rest of your visit. Glad that didn't happen this time and it was a wonderful 1st visit of many to the park this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonetheonlyJT Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I found this cool video on the Skyscreamer media day. Also I got a survey the other day and it asked about what type of characters you like to see the most and what type of themed family ride you would like to see from choices were scooby do, looney tunes, hot wheels, even zombies.

Sixflags12345678 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Went to sixflags today and noticed that batman was very smooth and it was extremely quiet! It sounded just like dragon challenge at IOA. Skyscreamer s line was about a 3 hour wait. Smh and the park was extremely crowded. I must say though the new paint in Gotham city is really nice. But all the ride operators were EXTREMELY SLOW! Sixflags really needs to work on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Six Flags Over Georgia's SkyScreamer opens to the park tomorrow, May 24th. Also, May 25th and 26th, you can come visit the Smurfs at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her0ofLime Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 ^ Really? Batman was about the same loudness as usual when I visited in April, and was oddly rougher than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivtim Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Mind Bender was closed today. Anyone know what's up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack4343 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Mind Bender was closed today. Anyone know what's up? Went to the park last Wednesday and Mind Bender was closed when the park opened but it did open about an hour or so later. There might be some gremlins in the machinery that are being weeded out. Also the SkyScreamer was excellent. The line at 1pm was less than an hour and the staff did a great job getting people on and off quickly. Also very stable considering how high up it is and how flimsy the chains look. Really enjoyed it and the breeze on a hot day is just what the doctor ordered. The cool thing that I haven't seen anyone mention is that you can sit your stuff (hats, bags, drinks, etc.) at your feet by the swing since when it stops it will end exactly where it began. That is a nice touch! My family is at the park today as well. I am at home since I hurt my back on my job I can't ride any roller coasters anyway until cleared to return to work so I might as well avoid temptation. The Ninja was fully operational and it's usual ornery self and wrecking backs and necks all across the park. Finally saw the iLuminate show and it was a well put together show and a great addition to the park. Also noticed that the Looney Tunes characters seemed to really be out in force greeting the guests. Much more than previous years. My wife just texted me and said that Pepe LePew just sat next to her at Dare Devil Dive and spent a few minutes mimicking her every movement. Things like that are examples of the little things that make a visit to a theme park fun. It's not always coasters and thrills. If I had a complaint about Six Flags it would be that getting a refill on the yearly souvenir glass is almost impossible until around 11:30am. (The park opens at 10:30 for regular guests and 10am for Gold pass members.) They need to remember that it is already pretty warm in the hot sun in Georgia that early and hydration is an important key to the enjoyment of the park all day in the heat. Most of the concessions didn't even open until 11:30am at least in Gotham City where we were at the time. Not to leave on a bad note...the new for 2013 policy allowing people to purchase a new wristband for their previously purchased 2013 Souvenir cup for $3.99 for all day instead of .99 cents each refill is very nice and a great change. No more messing around trying to get your money out for every refill. Thank you Six Flags Mgmt. for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualmusic Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Attending the park again on the 17th and 18th (There is an event on the 17th) but hopefully it won't be too crowded since I am guessing that a lot of the guests will be enjoying the concerts... Lets just hope the weather turns out fine for that weekend, last time we couldn't fully enjoy the park on our last day because it rained When does school start in ATL? Aug 7th? Will it be pretty comfy on those days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her0ofLime Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ^ Yes, school starts in the Atlanta area on August 7th, also, expect large crowds, just because there's a concert doesn't mean people won't be enjoying the park. Anyways I went to White Water a few days ago, and I have a mini trip report for you! It was very crowded, which makes sense considering how this has been the only sunny week in all of summer here. Lines for the major rides were 1 hour-2 hours while the smaller, medium sized ones were 45 minutes at the most. The trip was cut short by thunderstorms, as if the thunder gods don't want us to ever have fun. I still got to ride the new hotness, Typhoon Twister, which is my first proslide bowl slide. Rides Ridden: Typhoon Twister Cliffhanger Tidal Wave Three Slide Body Flume My review of Typhoon Twister: I may be overrating this slide a little, just because it was my first bowl slide, and I also went down the drop backwards. So onwards, Typhoon Twister is an awesome ride and a great addition to the family of waterslides at White Water. The drop is equally scary and fun (especially going down backwards) and the bowl makes you really feel like you're in a typhoon. I also like the color scheme a lot, really fits into the landscape. But one thing I hate about it is that you have to lug that huge tube up a hill to get to the ride, and also that there isn't a single rider line.

Rollercoaster Rider Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 ^No, it's probably going to be something small like a new show or something of that's sort. Maybe a Mack Twist N' Splash? New Flat Ride + Water Attraction + Family Friendly (I'm guessing) works IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceattack52 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 ^ No wait! There was stuff going around that they were asking about a dark ride on one of their surveys, I had forgotten about that until now. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they did something like that.

Jhcbiinoc Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Not sure what they plan on doing for 2014 and have not heard anything concrete. Someone I was talking to a couple of years ago who correctly predicted a new flat in 2013 (SkyScreamer) seemed convinced of a coaster for 2014. Would be great if it turned out to be one.
