tuxedomask5432 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 ^^The lap I took on it shortly after park opening was not that slow. The second trim did grab pretty hard, but it still seemed faster than the POV. I agree. My ride on The Georgia Cyclone that morning felt pretty brisk. It definitely was tracking better and moving faster around 6:30-ish that afternoon. The airtime is, and has always been crazy ejector on that ride. I'm praying for Fright Fest to have the second set of trims turned off. They weren't really running that much on the first set last Saturday it seems. The park had no trims during Spring Break Week and the second half was really moving fast, so there was airtime on every last hill to the end. However, this really makes the shuffling quite worse and more violent around the last two turnarounds. I can see why they keep them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Totally agreed with all of the above from Elissa and Derek. I've done a few TPR events, and all are great for a variety of reasons, this one was great for ALL reasons. Just an all around amazing event. But I truly think it's the people who make the event. Sure the rides are great, the tours are great, the food is great ... but the people I had the pleasure to spend two full days with just made an amazing event 1000% better. This includes the awesome staff at SFOG. As for DSB next year ... Josh and I scored two free r/t tickets on Air Tran for sometime in the next 12 months (thank you 4 hour delay and a return trip to ATL after an hour in the air). So we've got airfare covered for either a TPR trip or event next year. And we get to add in the Southwest Airlines cities in a few months!!! (Buffalo for LeviaTHON???) (Of course, to stick it to Air Tran, I could always surprise my wife with a long weekend in the Caribbean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Johnson Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We had a really great time at the park for DSB! Thanks to everyone who worked hard on putting together this awesome event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOG Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 On behalf of the park, I wanted to thank everyone that made it out for the first ever Deep South Bash! The park's management team was talking today about how great the event was and how personable and appreciative everyone was on Saturday. We have truly been blown away by the comments you guys have sent to us, posted on the forums and left on the park's Facebook page. It was great to meet everyone at the pre-DSB dinner and at the park on Saturday! We can't wait to host everyone again in 2012! -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I would strongly consider doing this exact same event next year, it was that much fun! I have been to SFOG several times, almost to the point that I consider it my 2nd home park, but I have never had an experience that even came close to this!

RoCo Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm nowhere near through all the trip reports and it's clear this was one for the ages. The "Monster Mansion" tour? The GASM Water Challenge? Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirouettes907 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 A few days later and I'm still thinking about what a fantastic time I had this weekend! It was my first visit to SFOG and my first TPR event, and I have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude for Robb, Elissa and those at SFOG who put in the time and work that went into organizing the day. Highlights for me were the Monster Mansion tour, the photo walkback tour, the GASM water challenge and being on Goliath's last train of the night. A great day at a great park where I met great people! (In fact, my only, *only* regret is that I didn't get a chance to try Brandy's cake because we couldn't make it to the Carrabba's dinner the night before!!) Thank you, thank you and thank you again to everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinab Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You all are setting me up for a major dilemma, next year - Dollywood, or DSB 2012? Hmmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
