Six Flags Over Georgia

[Galaxy Defender]

Several of the coasters are literally painful. Coasters should not bang you around so harshly.

I don't ride Scream Machine, Blue Hawk, Georgia Scorcher or Georgia Cyclone due to how rough the ride is. Looking forward to trying out Twisted Cyclone. It looks amazing up close.

If you haven’t ridden one of these hybrids yet- I can’t speak highly enough about them. They are incredible. Some of, if not the smoothest and most fun coasters in existence

After hearing about them for so long I am so glad we have one local.

Technically we have had a wood steel hybrid at SFoG for decades. The Dahlonega Mine Train is built upon wooden timbers with a solid steel track.

Hah.

I was specifically talking about RMC. Their standalones have been great in their own right, but I think their I-Box hybrids are fantastic. I’ve only ridden three but get to ride steel vengeance in 2 months.

RMC is the rage these days. Looks like they bolted girders on top of the old Georgia cyclone.

A train engine at Six Flags Over Georgia caught fire today. Two employees were evacuated to the hospital for further evaluation. No guests were on board but one was treated on the scene.

The park has two engines, the General and the Texas. No word on which engine was involved.

The park is scheduled to open normal hours tomorrow.

So far this is the only tweet about the incident from Six Flags.

Pictures and video show the engine on fire at the railroad crossing going into Metropolis park right by Justice League battle for Metropolis.

I know, resurrecting an old thread. But I had the opportunity to visit Six Flags Over GA on May 2nd and 8th.

We had a really good, fun time. I don't remember much from my first visit in the mid-2000s other than Superman: Ultimate Flight and waiting in line for Batman: The Ride.

A few notes:

- They have the same security scanner as WDW does (probably Evolv), making bag check touchless & super easy.
- They had hand washing stations and hand sanitizer pumps all throughout the park. :thumbsup:
- Twisted Cyclone was SO good. My first RMC.
- Justice League: Battle for Metropolis was quite fun and gave me Spider-Man vibes. It's like a combo of Spider-Man and MiB.
- Goliath was super fun, a bit more rickety than Mako, but it is older.
- Dahlonega Mine Train was surprisingly quite fun for a kid-friendly coaster.

We got season passes (they were only like, $5 more than a single-day ticket), so perhaps we will return later. Also we are considering visiting Six Flags New England at some point this year, as that was my husband's home park growing up (starting from when it was Riverside Park), and he wants to take me there.

I went to the park yesterday and the Great American Scream Machine was in such bad shape. It by far was the worst roller coaster experience I've ever had. It made Son of Beast feel like a carousel. It felt like a 2 minute car wreck and my neck is sore today because of it. That ride is going to derail at some point soon. You can tell they're not keeping up with the maintenance on this ride. It should not be open to the public. Someone is going to get killed. It was awful. The whole train groaned with pain as we slammed into the break run.

Yikes. I agree that GASM was rough. I'm sorry you're in pain today because of it.

Pretty much confirmed to be a new coaster since it's being announced on National Roller Coaster Day:

So I guess the Mach wasn't everything they hoped for and now they're trying the Intamin version...

Rip.

To no surprise whatsoever, Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster is done for.



I know there's good folks working at Skyline and all, but it's hard to ignore pretty much any recent installation of their own has closed shortly afterwards. And Kid Flash feels the most embarrassing with the incidents at both SFOG and SFFT with lift hills getting destroyed and trains derailing.
