Spent Labor Day at SFoG. First time there this year. I took my nephew, niece and a friend of hers. They are 12, 13 and 14. We didn't do any of the kids ride areas but the improvements on Bugs Bunny Boomtown were good.
The Super Friends area was not impressive, but it did add life to the center of the park, removed the decaying dolphin show area and has some great music. The shops around this area are all carrying DC merchandise now. Six Flags is doubling down on the DC license. I would not be surprised if DC makes up over half of Six Flags merchandise sales. A homestyle restaurant in the Peachtree area nearby has been redone as a sports bar, complete with a real bar off to the side. They even have an old Atlanta Thrashers hockey jersey on the wall.
Biggest trouble was food and drink. They are really pushing the refill bottles and the season dining pass. This has increased concessions demand but many locations were closed. The ones open had long and very slow lines. There were very few lines for just getting refills, so those clogged up the food lines.
Ninja was redone as Blue Hawk. It looks better and has much better cars. It has improved the ride, but not enough. I felt my neck pop during the ride. Won't be doing that again.
The VR on Dare Devil Dive is impractical. They took a low capacity coaster and now the wait time is doubled. They have extra staff watching the gear as the car moves to the vertical lift. Just not worth the wait.
