Six Flags Over Georgia (SFOG) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Oh maaan I wouldn’t care if it were themed to batboy if it’s a raptor. I’ve ridden a couple of freespins though and they felt like 2 totally different experiences. I found one not that great but the 2nd at Great Adventure was pretty decent! Either is a go for me!

I'm not saying I think is what it'll be, as I've been on the S&S FreeSpin for a while. But with the new clues, and news of the Axis Arena removal, I now wonder whether a Raptor themed to Poison Ivy might be what's coming. I measured it out, and if it's a clone of WW at SFFT, it would definitely fit at an angle in that plot where Axis is, behind The Joker, and stretching almost to Batman. Again, that's probably grander than we should be expecting at SFOG this year, but it seems like it's still a possibility at least.

If you all were gamblers, would you bet on six flags being open / rides running on Sunday based on hurricane dorians path? We’re flying into Atlanta on Friday afternoon and planned carowinds for Saturday and sfog for Sunday, fly out Monday, but we can detour to Dollywood Sunday instead, decisions decisions... stupid Mother Nature

The last time one had a path heading for Atlanta the park shut down, and I think they announced the closure on that Friday, so watch SFOG social media.

Weather forecast looks clear for this weekend. There's a couple bring a friend days this weekend so it may be decently crowded between that and the, as of now, very nice weather.

The most recent track I'm looking at (released at noon eastern) shows it off the coast of Florida on Monday, with the potential track area barely in Georgia.

 

I think you should be fine. Depending on how much lead time you need to adjust plans, keep up-to-date and be ready to adjust up to your deadline.

 

If you're willing to drive to Dollywood on Sunday, why don't you instead swap SFOG and Carowinds (SFOG on Saturday, Carowinds on Sunday)?

I like this idea, as carowinds will probably be less likely impacted on Sunday. Guess I’ll cancel my hotels and see what the model is predicting when we take off Friday!

Are you talking about Carowinds on 9-7 or 9-8? It might interest you there's an ACE event on the 7th with ERT and behind the scene tours on CS and Fury.

Two Villainous New Thrill Rides Coming to Six Flags Over Georgia in 2020

 

New Attractions Expand Gotham City Section to Seven Spectacular Rides

 

AUSTELL, GA. — August 29, 2019 — Six Flags Over Georgia—the Thrill Capital of the South—in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC, announces two, new innovative ride experiences for the 2020 season. Catwoman Whip and Poison Ivy Toxic Twister will be the latest additions to the park’s impressive lineup of ultimate heart-pumping thrills for guests of all ages. The two exciting attractions, new theming and revamped food and shopping locations will debut in the new Gotham City section next year.

 

“Every year, Six Flags creates innovative, new ride experiences for thrill-seekers of all ages,” said Park President Dale Kaetzel. “Catwoman Whip and Poison Ivy Toxic Twister will be sensational new additions to our ride arsenal that features the biggest and best variety of rides in the region.”

 

Guests will soar seven stories high as they prepare for an adrenaline-charged flight on Catwoman Whip, featuring:

• A super-sized wheel spinning horizontally, as a giant arm lifts and tilts the wheel to a vertical position;

• High-speed rotations spin round and round, reaching heights of 67 feet in the air; and

• An exhilarating flight in 24 open-air seats with feet dangling below.

Poison Ivy Toxic Twister sends 36 riders swirling on a dizzying journey, featuring:

• A giant center rotating arm rotates riders in pods as they experience centrifugal force;

• Pods spin counter clockwise, while the ride turns in the opposite direction; and

• Riders in groups of three, all connected in 12 clusters, twist and churn at high speeds.

Six Flags Over Georgia is also announcing the start of 2020 Season Pass sales with its special Flash Sale through Labor Day weekend featuring the best deal of the year—savings up to 70% off of a 2020 Pass.

 

August 29 through September 2, guests will receive a free upgrade to a Gold Combo Season Pass with every pass purchased.

During the Flash Sale, guests who sign up for a Membership receive three free months and one free Golden Ticket valid for a friend’s free admission to visit almost any day this fall. Launched last year, the Six Flags Membership program offers guests a wide range of valuable benefits such as preferred parking every visit, unlimited soft drinks, 50% off almost all food and merchandise in the park, and exclusive perks that are only available to Members. Members who sign up for Six Flags Membership Rewards, the company’s new loyalty program exclusive to Members, earn points for almost everything they do at the park. Points can be redeemed for free food, merchandise, and special experiences.

 

Six Flags White Water

Six Flags White Water Atlanta, the Southeast’s Largest Waterpark, will debut Python Plunge, a striking five-story water slide with multiple swirling discs and adrenaline-pumping drops. The massive water slide features two-person rafts that slither along a 500-foot course and careen around giant saucer-shaped turns before sending guests plunging into the pool below.

Yeah, compared to what many (myself included) thought SFOG was getting, it's a little underwhelming. But I love what they're doing with that Gotham City area back there, and while Scramblers aren't really my thing anymore, those new Endeavors look awesome! Also, note that there are other "exciting announcements" coming soon. Probably won't be much, but this park already looks to be one of the best in the chain. I really hope to finally make it out here next year!

I thoght for sure you guys were getting an S&S 4D. Looks like I was wrong, but these are nice additions none-the-less. I see Supergirl will be the 24 seat model like the one in St. Louis. I'm wodering if Over Texas might be the only park in the chain to ever have the 48 seat version.

I still don't understand why anyone thought they would get a new coaster when Cyclone still has the "new coaster smell" on it. The park never alluded to it, there was no big teaser campaign.
Wishful thinking...

I think as long as the Splashwater Falls area remains unused, speculation every year or two will involve some coaster taking its spot

Discovery Kingdom added its fourth coaster in five years and I don't recall any major teasers from them.
