Blue Hawk Six Flags Over Georgia FRONT ROW POV During Fright Fest!!!

She may be a little rough around the edges...but Blue Hawk at Six Flags Over Georgia & Hurricane Harbor is still a decent roller coaster. With the newer trains, this ride is now much more enjoyable than it's predecessor Ninja and while still providing powerful G-Forces!

The real Magic Cheeseburger it’s not even rough lol

[@theextremepunishment4866]

It’s actually not even rough surprisingly

[@Triveom]

Y'all didn't on it when it was Ninja did y'all? XD... Gave me a concussion

[@Blurical]

That's gforce grunts lol

[@rainluvshobie]

I just rode it and it’s not even rough lmao I enjoyed it

[@Sokobansolver]

I was like "why have I never heard of this ride?" then remembered it used to be Ninja

[@elonmusk4143]

Sokobansolver same

[@ilikeyoutube3142]

RIP to the Ninja. One of the worst rides ever due to head banging, BUT, still holds a place in my heart for the nostalgia. So many headaches riding the Ninja as a kid 😂😂

[@cgoins1993]

I really don't know why they bothered with the change. Should've torn it down and built a mega lite in its place. The location would be perfect. Either that or get rid of it and the scream machine and build an Intamin giga and build a new wooden coaster where the mindbender is in a few years

[@laurelbrown3068]

Sokobansolver lol I was like “I go here at least four times a year WHAT IS THIS”

[@whatever.9737]

Cody Goins not really cause it would kinda take up the other rides..

[@carlhood4498]

The grunting is impeccable 😂😂

[@blueraspberryicepop6570]

Sounded like he was about to puke! lol

[@jacksonwilliams6845]

Me and my brother’s first ever coaster when I was 14 and he was 10. My dad forced us to go on it, and we were crying like babies. No regrets, as I love coasters now!

[@triple7marc]

The head-choppers on this ride are insane.

[@igors_theme]

omg ikr! I went on it a few hours ago (currently in line for superman) and I swear if I were two inches taller I would've been beheaded

[@JadenLiu-ot9xz]

Good thing I’m only 5’1 lol.

[@alaeriia01]

Fun fact: this ride was designed to fit into the space now occupied by the Great Nor'Easter at Surfside Pier. This is why the layout is so similar to the SLC; the SLC was actually designed to fit into that space, and then cloned.

[@londonkiara5568]

I just actually road this ride today at six flags. It’s actually not bumpy anymore ride has definitely been improved. And I normally don’t even get on roller coasters. But I would definitely ride this again.

[@jshepard152]

Good to know.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Paint job looks good, ride looks brutal!

[@r.t.c.no.1529]

Pleasure Beach Experience It’s actually Smooth, before they refurbished the ride (used to be Ninja), it was the worst roller coaster at the park due to the amount of head banging, buts not much better from what others say.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Fair enough, regardless of how rough it is, I'd still ride it!

[@r.t.c.no.1529]

Pleasure Beach Experience I think it was hard holding the camera, but when SFOG did a POV of the ride, it’s much smoother.

[@yourexperienceguide]

It looks like a mounted chest harness POV

[@r.t.c.no.1529]

Pleasure Beach Experience It is

[@entrapta8049]

I swear I instinctively duck my head down whenever we go under the tracks as if they'll cut my head off

[@mattmorgan881]

Before it was repainted, the old Ninja version of this coaster was the one they filmed the Griswold family on when they were at Wallyworld in the newer Vacation movie with Ed Helms and Christina Applegate. It was called the Velociraptor in the movie.

[@jshepard152]

Nice!

[@rockingirl1025]

I rode this ride countless times growing up. No row helps. I’m a coaster junkie and this ride HURTS.

[@xovidoesstuff6179]

They refurbished the entire cars. Its not the coaster that was uncomfortable, it was the seats and harnesses. They are so much better and i experienced zero pain while riding

[@officerk1693]

Yeah this ride hurt so f*cking bad, I was pissed

[@AdventuresWithAlex]

@@xovidoesstuff6179 Good to know! I'll be going for my first time in 3 days

[@kazeryu17]

I rode when it was called ninja. I was hoping it would just drop me in the lake.

[@chrisjarmon4339]

I rode this back in Ninja days and it lives by its name! Felt like a Ninja did brutal head damage

[@MrTurner_18]

Alot of ppl don't know that this was the coaster used in the movie Vacation back when it was red. It was called velociraptor in the movie.

[@mikevel4387]

Exactly

[@malikwilliams6203]

This ride was fun. I rode it at night and wasn't expecting that loop and had to hold my glasses. I'll definitely ride this again

[@themeparkguyproductions]

I surprisingly really like this ride, it may be a little on the jerky side, but it is intense in the back row!

[@thundermcking6969]

Themeparkguy Productions don't you mean ALOT on the jerky side? jk lol

[@juliageorgia756]

Themeparkguy Productions het i dont know if you will see this but I'm going here soon and I have never rode an upside down coaster do you think this would be a good 1st

[@satisfiction]

@@thundermcking6969 not anymore.. the frikkin Dahlonega Mine Train is more jerky/rough than this. This is smooth as butter in the front cars.

[@brianabanana1085]

I love this ride so much!!even tho im 10 its amazing!!

[@-somedude]

First few times I rode this is was fantastic. Best ride in the park. Rode it last year and it’s starting to get bumpy but it’s still really freakin good. My second favorite roller coaster next to Tennessee tornado at Dollywood

[@friedapplepie1872]

this is definite our favorite ride. it is such a smooth ride! my only complaint is that it's so good, we go "nooooo!!" when it's over.

[@bentubepyro]

fried apple pie smooth? Probably the roughest rude at the park

[@friedapplepie1872]

@@bentubepyro maybe you should go back and try it again. ;-)

[@yunglighterfluid]

@@friedapplepie1872 nah if scream machine didnt exist thus would definitely be the roughest

Gotta grunt a lil bit😂

[@gemstar3824]

This is my favorite coaster at my home park... ...aside from every single other coaster. I need to file a police report against Vekoma for brutally assaulting me.

[@xtremeentertainmenttv9664]

Gemstar 382 what did vekoma ever do to you? Vekoma never beat up your kids or your dad, Vekoma would never cheat on your GF, Vekoma wouldn’t make you eat something you wouldn’t wanna eat, all Vekoma does is shake you around a little bit

[@gemstar3824]

Those are all valid points except for one. My daughter has ridden this atrocity and it DID in fact beat her up. Police reports were filed but unfortunately it's our word against Vekoma's.

[@gemstar3824]

One of the few Togos still legally allowed to exist. Barely. Hopefully they'll tear it down before I go back out west. If I'm near it I'll feel obligated to get the credit.

[@twistedcheese1]

Gemstar 382 Vekoma is like your big brother. He knocks you around a bit (ninja) then be realises he went to far then goes easier on you (inFusion) but despite all the fall outs. If something did go wrong be would always be there for you (lech Coaster)

[@caitlyn2124]

You should have rode it when it was Ninja..ouch!

[@johnstrickland9048]

They changed it around some but that was the former Ninja

[@j0dij020]

This ride use to be called the Ninja and it was red & black... but people hated it cause it would throw your head around And Leave a major headache or sometime even injury. It’s the same ride... just different colors but better safety gear

[@redfangtherainwing122]

It’s fun, I live near this six flags and let me tell you, this one used to be pretty smooth, but the past few years have not treated this ride well

[@JimmyNeutron1029]

i saw these comments before riding the rollercoaster and i was expecting it to be really bad. I actually really like it lol

[@DysfunctionalHumanBeing]

The best roller coaster I've ever rode by far. So fun!

[@tannerb8569]

Gotta love the G-force grunts lol. How you know it's an old school looper packed with good G's.

[@codybehr60]

Rode this last week. Got off the ride with a stiff next and I'm pretty sure a mild concussion. Kids seems fine and wanted to ride again but the older you get the worse this ride is.

[@josiahpresberry1263]

I love how the ride after getting to the top slows down than starts coming off the chain clicking

[@richardzinc9108]

I remember when Ninja first opened up around 26 years ago. I got to ride it before the park opened up and yes it was a headbanger to the extreme.

[@jshepard152]

I remember riding Ninja about '94 or '95. It didn't look new to me then, but maybe it was.

[@mexicansdoitbeyter]

Loved this ride so much!

[@petermorin6741]

So many head chopper elements!

[@fostermarcus86]

The new restraints truly revived this ride. Head banging gone!

[@charliekirby_]

i can safely say this vekoma is only good when it's not transitioning or upside down. so the drop and the brake run lol is the best parts

[@michellecbra]

i love this roller coaster i got on it 5 times ina row

[@OfficxalBoyCorey]

It is still the ninja its just painted blue💯

[@discobroccolifool968]

Runs smoother too

Haven't ridden it since the 90s and still have bad memories.

[@theyellowentity9668]

[@theironnautilus7228]

This is my favorite one from over georgia!

[@centralfloridaenthusiast7254]

This was actually my first roller coaster I ever ride. How the hell am I coaster enthusiast, I don't know. But yeah this ride apparently did it for me when I was 7.

[@milkyraiin5493]

my friend is forcing me on this ride next time we go to Six Flags and this made me feel a little bit better about it

[@johnfreeway]

I really wish this ride was longer. 👍

[@andrewc1199]

I saw the track and thought it was made by Arrow Dynamics. I looked up to be sure and it was made by Vekoma.

[@coaster_crusader]

The ride was made by Arrow, but Vekoma had to finish the ride after Arrow went bankrupt

[@DanielBlaney]

No that was the other Ninja at Six Flags St Louis. This one was all vekoma.

[@gemstar3824]

Vekoma had an agreement with Arrow in the late 70's/early 80's. As long as they used Arrow trains they had access to Arrow patents (including their tube track design). Subsequently, Vekoma tracks are extremely similiar to Arrow's.

[@ArrowThrills]

Why did arrow dynamics go bankrupt

[@MrPopsfreshnmyer]

Lack of innovation. They took too long to update their track design which made for rough rides. B&M leap frogged them in design, taking a lot of business. Building X for Magic Mountain bankrupted them (for many reasons)

[@tempernova8951]

I road this 100% my favorite after goliath its fun no cap

[@heliotropeskies5918]

i respect the hell out of this coaster for turning a 2/10 coaster to like a 5 or 6/10 coaster. still not a great ride but ninja was the one gaping pit in sfog's repertoire and its been improved greatly as blue hawk, even if it is still just mediocre

[@jshepard152]

I hated Ninja. Walked past Blue Hawk 4x this weekend, thinking it would be the same. Maybe next time I'll try it.

[@crazycoasters_5520]

Blue hawk and ninja are the same layout. Fun but not new. It hurts though

[@x0o0x_fan]

they made it way better this year

[@mitchellries256]

They should add those new trains to other coasters like Viper at Darien Lake and Six Flags Magic Mountain, Vortex at Kings Island, Anaconda at Kings Dominion, and Ninja at Six Flags St Louis to name a few.

[@calebreese2311]

Mitchell Ries I know right? They should also do it to corkscrew at cedar point and dragon fire at Canada’s wonderland

[@joleyramos5865]

that was my 2nd favroite ride at six flags!

[@Finallypeople]

Was better as ninja feeling that feeling of being unsafe was way better

[@TheNeverlanders]

You’re a brave man! That ride beats up more people than Mike Tyson ever did in the ring! Great footage though 👍🏻

[@viviannanguyen4003]

this one was actually more fun than it looks. i didn't feel the drop bc it was super fast.

[@renelyn76]

They seriously need to take this ride out the park

[@kaytheloser.9739]

best ride there to to me it's not scary when you go down just upside down

[@lovelyreeves1987]

I use to have a headache after this ride but it was fun tho!!!!

[@LCATCAM]

So good it got in the movie vacation

[@tqcticall]

this was my first ride with a loop i didnt know there were 50

[@rcky6506]

Looks great, I don’t understand why people hate these kinds of newer Vekoma’s

[@christianruffin1342]

1:31 From the minute he made that sound, that lets you know that the ride still hasn’t been fixed.

[@triple7marc]

But it has been fixed. The ride is great!

[@Megablueforce]

If Vekoma isn't trying to kill people with rough rides, it'll be their layouts. Even when watching this on a computer I feel like those supports and track will chop my head off.

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

That Butterfly element is one of the weirdest elements ever

[@Cat3465]

This basically similar if not the same thing as an SLC but the trains don’t hang above the track

[@elizahamilton5599]

My mom road this when it was the ninja and it ruined her day

[@Sydney-fp3nn]

Funnest coaster I’ve been on

[@ev3rsonix392]

Never actually got on this but i might try it in the future. Theres just so many better coasters at the park that it doesnt seem worth it.

[@c23onrails]

It’s a good ride but the inversions are extremely snappy but I do recommend you ride this once

[@PastTime777]

LoL at the people behind you. This is on my Old Skool page. Even with new trains, it's still the old track layout. Didn't work for T3.

[@reissecupfilms]

those are the closest headchoppers i've ever seen

[@danielkegley690]

I rode this coaster recently. All I can say is I would have hated to have rode it before it got new trains. Bit on the rough side to say the least.

[@ThunderDashHub]

Of all the corkscrew coasters I've seen, this is the only one I've seen where the corkscrews go left instead of right. I wonder what other corkscrew coasters have them going left...

[@ArrowEnlightenmentLeader]

Dragon Fire @ Canada's Wonderland has them going left!

[@FanOfVacuums2]

Drachen Fire had corkscrews that went left!

This thing was brutal for like 20 years. Any smoother now?

[@Aintnobodygoingtobringmyspirit]

Yeah it’s smoother not perfect but way smoother and better restraints

[@ahykalts6561]

i remember riding this. and it was pretty good except for some parts that were rough and i remember one of the rough parts kinda jerked my neck so i quoted something from friday “ my neck my back my neck and my back “ and the all the riders heard me and started laughing.

[@fropfrop514]

Wow I go there a lot I’ve never rode that before but dare devil dive is good!

[@deucarion1600]

biggest headache inducer of all time lmao

[@erickirk6966]

Not sure whether Six Flags Magic Mountain is considering giving its Viper coaster a similar rehab, like Six Flags Over Georgia did with Blue Hawk (used to be Ninja). Assuming Vekoma trains with vest style restraints on an Arrow mega looper is doable... as many Arrow Dynamics manufactured world class coasters are hard to come by. Looking forward to Twisted Cyclone coming to SFOG in 2018. Hopefully the wood supports get painted that similar shade of grey, like SFNE's Wicked Cyclone coaster, Twisted Cyclone logo on the lift-hill structure, and maybe some weather chasers theming... and hopefully Georgia Scorcher gets a new and much needed paint job during the winter off-season.

[@calebreese2311]

Eric Kirk I think it would benefit arrows if they had the Verona vest restraint trains

[@darkcoco827]

Are you excited about Twisted Cyclone?

[@alaeriia01]

Jalyn Stefon Nope. Twisted Timbers and Steel Vengeance, on the other hand...

[@lucidtalks4959]

Why, twisted cyclone is looking to be better than twisted timbers after six flags announced it will be 300.ft longer than originally planed.

[@calebreese2311]

Lucid Talks bruh twisted timbers will b much better and steel vengeance will crush all of them

[@lucidtalks4959]

Steel vengeance shouldn't be compared. Twisted cyclone is .......... Just twisty and i'm more of a twisted airtime person than just normal unoriginal airtime.

[@centralfloridaenthusiast7254]

Lucid Talks the layout should be mostly the same but the extra 300ft is coming from the fact the probably mismeasure the original track length.

[@plxtoz1899]
