Six Flags Over Georgia (SFOG) Discussion Thread

[simaticable]

Any news on Lightning Rod?

I didn't know they sold the ride to SFOG, dismantled it, transported it 4 hours south, rebuilt it, and tested it enough to open in the last 24 hours.

 

Seriously though, you replied to the wrong thread. You're looking for the Dollywood thread.

What does DOTD even mean?

[CPTCOASTER]

I just came to the park just to find it, didn't see it anywhere *trying to think what dotd means*

I'm assuming it means "Deal of the day" but not entirely sure. I had to look it up, but anything's possible.

Damn those look like they could be trains or something but idk why they would be here this early.... I seriously hope this is a coaster....

Maybe a side view photo of a vehicle for JL:BfM?

Honestly it looks like cars for Justice League

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

^^That is possible. All the other cars in the Twitter post have the same shape

[michaellynn4]

I think they're JL:BfM cars. Makes the most sense.

[kickflipbacktail]

Honestly just think its BFM trains. Pretty let down if this is our attraction for 2017 but it's whatever. Let it eat the crowds while I ride one of the best lopping coasters in operation.

[Jccoasterfan]

They do look like BFM cars. However, I did notice that on one part of the picture there appeared to be something under the tarp that looks a lot like stacked wood. It's really hard to tell, though. It could very well just be regular construction materials.

[Superbatboy]

Why would they receive the trains this early? The ride isn't even built yet.

[hydra]

I doubt they would put those high-tech ride vehicles under a tarp outside in the Georgia heat.

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

^ and ^^ good point. Maybe it's tracks? Or supports?

http://www.ajc.com/news/lifestyles/six-flags-gets-ready-for-new-ride-coming-in-2017/nrtGJ/ According to this AJC article, it's sounding more like an S&S Freespin. They mention how the ride 'won't be a first of its kind' and that 'similar rides exist elsewhere in the amusement park land.'

 

*Edit: That's just my guess though, but it seems to make a little bit more sense now.

does anyone know the approximate landmass of the free spins? Petriello says the ride occupies a couple of acres which is probably is our best bet at guessing what it is. I personally really hope this isn't a free fly

[simaticable]

It could also mean JL:BFM which is what my guess is. The park knows how popular Monster Mansion is, so why not put a shooting dark ride on the other side of the park next to Superman and retheme that area as Metropolis?

^ Good point there. Since the article mentioned that the ride will only take a few acres of land, it could very well be either of the two. Hopefully we will see a few more teasers in the coming weeks.

I see a S&S 4D FreeSpin train/car. (front/back)

But then I look again and see the Sally car. (side)

 

Ugh.
