Glad to hear Shake, Rattle and Roll is not gone for good. It's the best place to cool off! Can't wait to see construction on the coaster start!

I'm wondering though if it will be re-located to another indoor location. I remember when Perilous Plunge went into Knott's they said that Whirlpool would be re-located, but it turns out they just put the Scrambler outdoors somewhere...

That layout looks pretty good!

I really like that last element being used in this ride, has it been used before by any chance?

 

Also, the lap bar car designs are sweet. I wonder how the Lap Bars will compare to the OTSRs from other eurofighters.

Sorry about that.

I'm wandering where Shake, Rattle, & Roll will be re-located... I wish it could stay in USA because it fits the theme, but the park announced it'd be in a different area. Maybe Brittan or Peachtree Square (Georgia Cyclone/Acrophobia area). If not there than maybe Gotham City, with all the crazy lights I'm sure it'd be easy to find a Gotham theme!

[coasterbear30]

It will probably go in the old Batman Stunt Show building since they have not used that thing for years now and it is just sitting there rotting.

[ernierocker]

Somehow, I am not familiar with where Shake, Rattle, and Roll was exactly located. Was it in the building where they used to have shows (like the Chinese Acrobats) next to Freefall's old location?

[coasterbear30]

Yes, it previously held the "Chevy Show" and several other shows over the years.

Gotcha. I have pretty much ignored that area for a few years, so I had no clue they actually put a ride in that building.

 

I completely agree that a good area for it would be in Gotham City.

I really hope that doesn't happen! It's always so cold in there! A nice place on a hot Georgia day. Though the last few times I've ridden it they didn't do the lights and stuff on the ceiling.

[weslark87]

Well the last time I went to the park, the lights were being turned off, but nothing really with the ceiling. I think it would be perfect in Gotham City.

Six Flags Over Georgia just released a new video

A holding brake? A holding brake? That's flipping awesome! Safer, too.

 

More Eurofighters in the US, pretty please!

As much as I love that drive in sign, I'm glad that they found a legitimate reason to use it. It somewhat lost it's value when there was only the occasional show that it advertised. That layout on the hand is looking great, even if it is a slight copy of Anubis, though most people (including myself) will probably never ride both of these so there's no reason to complain!

[jray21]

Thanks for the video link, I can't wait for it to open! Looks like a good ride. I just hope it's not rough like the other Eurofighters.

[Skycoastin Steve]

I still can't believe they gave it the same name as the Skycoaster.

I was just thinking about that.

While still not much different from "Dare Devil Dive" (same name as Skycoaster), the logo makes it appear like it will be named Dare Devil: Dive Coaster. Get what I mean?

[coasternut]

I haven't been to SFOG in the past 3 years. It is my "home park" for my season pass, but I'm a mail in pass holder. Looks like it's time for a visit in 2011 ! I feel there B&M flyer - Superman is the best version of this ride. It the smoothest, or it was that way 3 years ago.

[deathbydinn]

People can just call the coaster Dare Devil Dive and the Skycoaster Fearless Freeps. Besides, I'm sure 90% of the gp will just say, "Hey, lets go ride the new coaster." It's just a name, you don't have to think that far into it.

[crazywolf88]

I can't play the video for some reason as is appears whoever posted it removed it

I removed that video and added the video from SFOG's youtube page. So it works now.

Totally not digging the holding brake. The best part of Rock Bottom Plunge is getting flung over the hill. Not a big enough drop for the brake to really add any effect if you ask me.
