Six Flags Over Georgia Vlog June 2019

We would of tried it later in the day when it had warmed up however we left early due to the service!

Shocked by teenaged ride-ops at a Six Flags park?? 😂 Oh Shawn, you made me laugh today!

[@axelmcleod8427]

This is a proper review of a bad day at the park. Good consistent customer service can save (almost) any bad day. Glad it ended on good note with a good ride experience. Thanks for the Vlog!

It can indeed!

[@Jackie25637488857657]

I would suggest that next time you guys come to the USA not to jam so many things into a such a short period of time because it becomes more of a grind than a holiday which is no fun.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We definitely took to much on and needed more rest days in between the parks.

[@sorrym8421]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide you didn't take into account just how big America is did you

[@mikey2111]

@@sorrym8421 he has been to the US before so i don't think thats the case. But i think they didn't think about how much travelling and visiting amusementparks takes out of you. Maybe a day or two of rest between parks would have been better or just split the tour in half and do the rest in august or the beginning of september.

[@markh2493]

I'm a HUGE fan of TPW but I am getting a bit fed up with this road trip. You deffo shouldn't have done this in one go. You can clearly see you are both exhausted and beginning to moan all the time. Its getting a bit boring listening to you both in my opinion. Here's to more UK vlogs

[@paulw5097]

Mark H this!!! sucks bad things happened but the exhaustion is coming out and hurting the vlogs

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

Take On Me playing in the background of their Mindbender review is absolutely golden

[@2DamnSeddy]

As a former employee I felt it was only right that I weigh in on The Joker Funhouse coaster closure situation. It is a little different when it comes to the way it runs. Instead of a standard lift hill, it uses friction wheels (also known as feed-motors) during the initial ascent. There is also another set of friction wheels that bring the train back in the station. With the trains being as light as they are, its safest for the ride to operate with the track being completely dry in order to avoid any ‘slips’ which can lead to valleys, evacuations, etc. I’ve witnessed two valleys due to a ‘slip’ - both happened during the return to the station which caused them to have to evacuate the ride - which is a lengthy and overwhelming process, especially if you take into consideration that the children riding may not understand what’s going on which later leads to a swarm of parents lining up outside of Guest Relations demanding free passes because their child was now ‘scarred for life’ because of something the park couldn’t control. And I know that sounds crazy but it has happened many many times - which I believe is the reason why they decided to keep the ride closed for the remainder of the day. That being said, what happened while you all were waiting for Superman to reopen was completely unacceptable. I can understand the employee’s being exhausted and wanting to go home - especially considering the heat, standing on your feet for all those hours, dealing with unruly guests, cleaning up vomit, having to repeat the ‘please do not sit or stand on the handrails’ speech over and over and over again, breaking up fights, getting threatened, being told by ‘know it all’s’ how to do a job you had to take a test to be certified to do... and the list goes on. But even with all that, a ‘ride will be closed for the rest of the day’ message should never be delivered unless it has been passed down by management - like what happened in the Funhouse Coaster situation. Im glad that you guys asked for a Supervisor and were given the skip-the-line passes. Its good to know that management atleast attempted to make the situation right and i’m sure it didn’t end there. As a Diamond Elite Member, I visit the park quite often. I often find myself seeing different things and shaking my head as I see how the times have changed since I worked there. It obviously starts with the management, BUT like you said several times in the video, customer service is important. I truly hope that you guys eventually find it in your hearts to give my home park another chance at redemption. Its a great place to escape the reality of the real world and i’m glad its only a 12 minute drive from my house.

[@visionist7]

I'd rather have a park with bad service nearby than what I _do_ have; no park at all :-(

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for shairing all of this information!

[@jorgemiguel1040]

Six flags parks are Value parks. The Attractions are great, but everything else is 99 cent store. The service and environment are discount. I am a Disneyland Signature plus pass holder for 5 years. I may be spoiled. Six Flags does have amazing rides.

[@deidrasoens2717]

That was the closet theme park to my childhood home. I remember staying in Georgia for a week and we would go to the park 3 out of the 5 days. Watching this brings back great memories. The Great American Scream Machine (going backwards at night) was always my favorite.

[@jacksonmooney3900]

The employees at six flags parks have a lack of passion for their job and the guest experience especially. I’m not saying this applies to everybody, but having been to Great Adventure, Great Escape and Darien Lake, this has been an ongoing issue I’ve regularly noticed.

[@joshuarexrode8533]

This is not the happy, positive Theme Park Worldwide that I love. I can clearly see you all are exhausted and it is massively impacting your mood and energy. As well as your opinion of rides and parks. I know I have ridden coasters while exhausted and felt underwhelmed. Then I rode them well rested and was blown away. Also you all only rode a lot of coasters once. I am almost always underwhelmed by coasters on the first ride. But after I ride them more my opinions can completely change. I am sorry you all got bad service at Sfog and it truly was awful customer service. However, I personally refuse to let it ruin my day. Rude employees don't impact my enjoyment of the rides or the park itself. But that's just me. I feel like a lot of this trip was wasted by trying to do way too much and clearly being exhausted. All of us watching can see it was ruining your experience. But you're still one of my favorite theme park channels and I will continue to watch the great content! But next time you visit the state's just don't try to cram so much in!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Luckily we visited some much better parks after this and had fantastic days!

[@cooperbrown940]

Theme Park Worldwide I live in Georgia and just went on my yearly trip to SFOG and had a great time! The operations are kinda bad but my experience with the rides were still great. I still haven’t been brave enough to ride Goliath even after 5 years of riding roller coasters and after all these years my favorite ride is still the Batman the ride clone there.

[@jamierayborn5488]

I loved SFOG, I have been 4 times this summer so far. However, the miscommunication is rampant, the rides are constantly going down, and the entertainment is the poorest I have seen in the 20 years I have been going. Far too many poorly behaved unattended teenagers with seemingly little to no real world social skills. The line jumping is the worst I have seen it and the staff seem unconcerned. The food was generic at best. In my experience the food was usually cold and sometimes under cooked. The food lines are as long or longer than the ride lines. I started packing food and go with zero expectation of any real customer service. Not sure I will renew my membership next year...

[@zacharystewart5344]

Not sure if you live in the U.S or not but Six Flags can offer some really really bad experiences if your not prepared to finesse... I have been to 5 six flags parks and they can really be this bad at times... one of which was at great adventure. The staff made me "check my pockets" and use the lockers for just my phone and wallet throughout the day when they should not have... And that's just one thing I encountered that day... I think they should have skipped some of these six flags parks and gone to more independent and cedar fair parks... Lake compounce, Dorney parks, Wild Adventures, Magic Springs, Kentucky Kingdom have all provided me with far superior experiences.

[@ianb1968]

Bummer it wasn’t more fun. Grew up down the street from a six flags park and they are very hit and miss. That dark ride looked cool!

[@Bkeithcamp]

Unfortunately Six Flags is known for poor operations, one train ops and such. Some are better than others, but sorry you had a bad experience. You all have great attitudes and your vlogs are so good. They are longer than most but you make them interesting and I like how long they are. Alex is hilarious. He sounds like a great travel companion.

[@logicn.reasoning9744]

"Uncomfortable on 'the gentlemen'," LOL! Haven't heard that one before.

[@raygreen4675]

Very true though. Batman The Escape of Astroworld, was the most painful ride of my life. Being tall made it worse. They kept re- adjusting the bicycle type seat and I yelped even more. Me poor jewels! 😆

[@schilling3003]

Appalling customer service is a cornerstone of the Six Flags Over Georgia experience. Especially on Superman!

[@markhines2583]

3 years and it has only gotten worse.

[@philhunter9134]

Whew! Welcome to humidity. An icky, weary, unsatisfying day filled with weird energy. I was going to gripe about off-ride shots, but today I just didn't care as much. The image of the dry flume ride was the cruelest shot of all! The best thing about today's vlog was that we were able to experience your favorite ride in the park, with you. That's rare this trip.

[@theMrRook]

Glad you guys enjoyed Monster Mansion! This is my home park, and I honestly think that Monster Mansion is the best attraction in the park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was excellent!

[@visionist7]

Very eclectic, even eccentric range of coasters here. A Gerst, an actual good Vekoma looper, a Schwartzkopf...

[@bengray6219]

One thing I will say about Six Flags is it sounds like they have a brilliant soundtrack playing around the park

[@rollercoasterronda9037]

Thanks for the shout out guys! Also, the Monster Mansion was a theme change back in the 80’s from the original which was called “The Okeefenokee Swamp”. The original theme and story was about Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox similar to Splash Mountain. I completely agree with you guys though. The staff there are mostly teenagers with bad attitudes and bad customer service skills but the coasters can be super fun!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the information. Such a shame about some of the service here as the ride lineup is great!

[@rollercoasterronda9037]

Theme Park Worldwide Yes AND July humidity can be brutal🥵 here in Georgia. Glad you guys survived the torture. It’s so much more pleasant to visit during fall season when it’s not as much of a scorcher. By the way, The Georgia Scorcher was our first B&M. I would have never tried to ride it if it were not for your inspiration. Thanks so much and I hope your channel continues to grow even bigger!!

[@suthius85]

Miscommunication my butt. There are people who think they are the manager, no matter the workplace, and will make "decisions" without any proper approval.

[@JoriDiculous]

oh yeah. we all knows at least one of them. Useless pos.

Awesome early vlog. Can never get enough TPW!

[@jamesparkerjr5539]

I really wish that you guys had not gotten so many typical "Six Flags Day" experiences on the trip, but I can't say I'm suprised. The chain generally lacks in customer service and operations throughout. We've had great days at Magic Mountain and Great America, but honestly thats it. Over Georgia is known for some of the worst, and it looks like you guys saw that up close and personal. Damn. Hoping for a better day at Carowinds for you, I love that park!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Carowinds was awesome and certainly didn't disappoint!

[@Justaman183]

30:38 There seems to be a need for some track repair? It seems to jerk pretty bad here. Is this normal? Or cause for concern?

[@isaiahginder1760]

It short but it’s one of the best shorter RMC it’s very forceful I rode it 25 times I flew from New Jersey just for this ride I loved it

[@lucacoasters8765]

Isaiah Ginder Same, I was so surprised by how insane it was and how strong the airtime was, the only issue with the ride is the length.

[@sorrym8421]

I have a feeling Superman will be either getting a much needed upgrade or will be completely taken out. Ever since I've lived in Georgia, Superman has been plagued with poor management and issues.

[@Booth81]

I can't wait for you guys to see two of my favorite parks, Kennywood and Knoebels. They may not have huge coaster collections, but I think you'll find the service is a lot more pleasant.

Claire Beattie It's like every RMC he does needs to top the previous one he did in order for him to enjoy it.

[@mr.noride7226]

I know. I think RMCs are great. I don’t think Twisted Cyclone is like a family ride. I have never really seen anybody not like Lightning Rod or Iron Rattler that much.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Twisted Cyclone just didn't do much for me unfortunately! I really enjoyed many of the coasters at this park though and I'll always be honest with my opinions!

[@SuperDutchjohn]

Shawn has done Wildfire in Sweden already and Steel Vengeance and very soon he will surely do Untamed in The Netherlands, and when you have done these I think you already covered 3 of the top of the worlds RMC's………..besides, I think it is refreshing that we have an honest review, better then just gave a good review in return for certain favours.

[@wildboy1983]

There seems to be a theme developing. I understand that operations were not great but im going to play devils advocate here and suggest that your day was mostly spoilt by tiredness from over stretching your itinerary again. It sounds harsh but I think if anything, you spoilt the day for yourself.

[@MatecaCorp]

wildboy1983 no, it's definitely thanks to the overall culture and nature of the Six Flags chain.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for your feedback. We were indeed tired however telling us that the park was closing and that all rides would remain closed for the rest of the day is unacceptable customer service. We'll always be honest in these videos and share our true thoughts and experiences!

[@tallicay2k]

Although I agree that this trip seems to be more of an endurance test and they're clearly struggling. Six flags are a crap anti consumer chain.

[@mrskbanbury]

Still working my way through these vlogs. Wow! I’m not surprised you were all annoyed! I’m glad you still managed to stay upbeat and not let it spoil everything for you

[@sorrym8421]

I'm afraid your lack of sleep and the Georgia heat and humidity might have severely affected your opinion on many of the rides.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

There were some great rides here, just mainly poor service sadly

[@Jackie25637488857657]

My home park is a Six Flags Park and with Six Flags, the attractions are the Coasters and a few thrill rides; everything else is hit-or-miss Including operations and park maintenance. For a local it's a mostly fun experience because we know what we're in for but I can understand expecting more and being disappointed especially if you come from long distances. And it gets kind of monotonous riding the same cloned rides over and over if you go to multiple Six Flags.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@jgriff22]

I am so glad you all chose to ride Monster Mansion before you all left. I live in Tennessee; so Lake Winnepesaukah, DollyWood, and Six Flags over Georgia are our home parks. Monster Plantation has been a favorite for my family and I since I was 7..over 35 years. Monster Plantation was also my late Grandmother’s favorite ride. The service is not the friendliest..but I will still go back for the rides. I would say my favorite coaster is Superman Ultimate Flight..but I have not been since 2005. The video is awesome, I love hearing y’all comment and hearing what y’all have to say. You guys are up there with Coaster Studios as my favorite KZbin theme park channels. Keep up the awesome work, and I hope y’all get to visit the USA parks again someday in the near future 😀

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for your support!

[@jgriff22]

Theme Park Worldwide You’re welcome 😀. Hopefully next time you come you can spend more time in Tennessee in both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg which is about 10 minutes tops from there. There is so much to do in both places, and Gatlinburg is very pretty as well.

[@JetstreamAviation747]

I flew to Atlanta as an aviation enthusiast with virgin Atlantic and I visited here the day I arrived because I only had one night in Atlanta but I still got on 3 rides Twisted cyclone, Georgia Scorcher and Goliath.

[@stephenrowan8128]

Front row of Goliath is the best seat in the park. Blue Hawk was greatly improved by the soft over-the-shoulder restraints. The Skyscreamer also fun IF they run the long cycle with the up-down-up-down. Thunder River (raft rides) is amazing on a hot day, and Log Jamboree a classic in the same vein. Monster Mansion is THE classic dark ride I compare everything to; hopefully they maintain the animatronics and effects.

[@mr.noride7226]

I actually like Twisted Cyclone. It is my favorite in the park and my favorite element is the wave turn.

[@stephenjholloway27]

[@SchuyGuy86]

Watching your video I had a immediate flashback to my visit. Literally everything that you said and encountered happened to me as well. We had a weather delay for 4 hours, every single ride of the park closed, even ones that should not be affected by light rain. Complain to guest services and got the runaround. Felt that the rides were pretty good! And Monster Mansion was definitely the highlight of the entire day when I was at that park. I even remember saying that, This ride is a national treasure and should be protected. Such a good ride. But regardless of that ride, I don't think I'd ever return. Poor operations, poor customer service and expensive food really put a bad taste in my mouth.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We're sorry to hear that you also had issues at the park

Then I rode it the next day in the afternoon and it was very intense and fun and it went waayy up in my rankings. I still think it is the bottom most RMC out of the 5 I've been on because it is a very short ride though.

[@benglass5886]

is it me or there is a simple reason customer service suffers. Its the difference between an Amusement park and a Theme Park. I find with theme parks particularly ones like Universal & Disney all the way to Alton towers its about the experience so Customer Service and operations are Key. Whereas an Amusement park, bigger rides,Open spaces and no real theme to the areas and rides they are more about the cattle just chucking people on and hitting numbers. Theme Parks create a world around a ride so customer service, atmosphere, operations and even general tidiness is so key as a fault in any of those areas takes away that sense of immersion. Great vlog and really appreciate that you guys tell it how it is!

[@Gisela_aka_gies]

I think this is so true...

[@handbaghound]

Agree 100%

[@Jackie25637488857657]

There are not enough independent parks like Holiday World out there that really care about the individual customer. The corporate mentality seems to be "build it, and they will come."

[@suthius85]

My home parks are Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Kings Dominion. For the reasons you mentioned, is why I love BG and only meh on KD

[@benglass5886]

Well to put this into perspective as an example. You can't buy coke or pepsi in Harry potter world for the simple reason it doesn't fit in with the theme as such. I think it is allowed for a few stalls that open on hot days because it is more practical than waiting in line for butterbear while melting and getting sun burn. But my point is I think when there's characters and a theme to live up to the ride operators themselves are more into the them. When you're just on a station in typical park clothing you're just doing the basics. Maybe what they suffered maybe only the way six flags operates and others don't but I just see the trend.

[@mrmilk1971]

The Hawk, formally known as The Ninja, has had quite a bad rep because of the design of the old train cars and how rough the ride was. It's still pretty rough but not as much as it used to be.

[@mtaffer]

I loved the Ninja. rode it like 8 times in a row. I have not been to SFOG since it turned into Blue Hawk

[@somasubstance]

My home park. Sorry you didn't have the best experience. I love Daredevil Dive. Amazing corkscrew stall. The ride shuts down every time I go to the park, and always reopens. Staying in line is usually a good idea at that ride. Mindbender is one of the first coasters I rode in my life, and it still scares me if I ride it at night! Holy crap. Twisted cyclone is pure fun. Feels super safe and comfortable. Goliath is terrifying because of the restraints and exposed feeling. Monster Mansion used to be called Monster Plantation. It's an extremely old ride, and you can smell it. Blue hawk is gorgeous. It used to be called Ninja and it had a red and black paint job. Blue Hawk seems smoother than Ninja... I rode the scream machine back before it broke your back, it is so fun. A giggle machine. Unfortunately, I can't ride it anymore because I like my spine. Service is lousy, unfortunately.

Found this really interesting hearing you say it was one of your worst days in a theme park - I visited back in May 2018 and I can say it was categorically my worst day in a theme park: - Twisted Cyclone wasn't open yet - Georgia Scorcher didn't open all day - Dare Devil Dive didn't open all day - Blue Hawk didn't open all day - Great American Scream Machine hadn't been retracked yet and was awfully rough - More than 50% of the food outlets were closed; the ones that were open had 45+ mins queues going out the door Honestly, other comments have said that you were in a bad mood but I think it's VERY possible to have a bad experience here. I've seen a Coaster Studios Vlog that was horrified at some of the operations too. Ugh... I'm at least a little relieved it wasn't just me!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Sorry to hear that! Would like to go back and check it out again in the future!

Superman was fun but too short for me! Goliath is a great ride but very dangerous to me. I hate the lap restraints just my opinion guys don’t kill me I know everyone love ❤️ it!

1:09:38 Just checking in from the future Shawn! LOL hopefully your upcoming visit will be much better.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Let’s hope so 😂

[@spaceistheplace2293]

The best Batman the Ride clone is the original at Six Flags Great America. It has the best theming of all of them and it’s really forceful, it also fits in with the park better than the others.

[@visionist7]

The one at Parque Warner Madrid is well themed too. Great ride. Sit on the left for an awesome near miss element with the building wall.

[@keiraneven9034]

So glad you liked this park! It’s one of the more I guess pretty six flags parks

[@jamesrowland6049]

sorry you guys were disappointed this is my home park it does have its disappointing days that is why if im going that year im going to get a pass so if i have one of those days i can come back for a reboot this park was great back in the 70s and 80s i was looking forward to this vlog again guys sorry you wasted a trip

[@Adar512]

Honestly,daredevil dive have the same train design as huracan,a German coaster at belantis park at Germany

[@jacuzziii]

i would love to go to the USA :(

[@sincerelyinsincere9268]

make it a goal and start saving :) you'll get there.

[@jacuzziii]

@@sincerelyinsincere9268 yeah, thanks :)

[@Scottinuk]

Jack Hughes If you are from the U.K., flights start at £200!

[@Formula1st]

I’m only 12 so I can’t do what I want and oh boy do I get jealous

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Hopefully you get to visit soon!

[@gdkeen3307]

It's too bad you had such a negative experience at this park. I quite enjoyed it when I went and had no issues with staff. They were totally cool and let me go up the exit for single rider seating on Goliath and Twisted Cyclone!

[@matthewharris696]

I went to six flags Georgia years ago in April and half the rides were closed down because it was too cold. The high temp for that day was 65. Also I must’ve rode the Great American scream machine before it was retracked cause it put me in pain

[@clockworkworks]

Such a shame you had a bad experience here. I thought with the line-up of coasters, this park would of rated higher. As always, appreciate the honesty in the Vlogs and its helps planning my USA trip next year!

[@Posirep]

Problem is it's in Atlanta. The whole Atlanta area is filled with kind of garbage people and it shows with the employees and clientele.

[@thefactsarethese3668]

The thing with Six Flags parks is that you literally can't go in expecting anything other than cheap season passes and great coasters. You can have a great time at the parks and go on some great rides, but you have to know what you're getting into. You can't expect competency. Over Georgia is a great park, IF it's operated properly which...you can't assume, unfortunately.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we'll always be honest in our videos!

[@CoasterRoaster]

Something kind of interesting is that Six Flags America in Maryland has almost the same exact unique park layout, but that's just coincidental because Over Georgia was built as a Six Flags park while America was purchased an renamed in 1999

[@KaseyMoore]

Seeing the miming of Take on Me was the best part of the video

[@christyler578]

Welcome to the american south. Big reason we always visit carowinds after 4 The humidity can be brutal.

[@djkingarthur1079]

Your review of my home party is spot on. I pray everyday for Six Flags to sale this park to Cedar Fair!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I would definitely like to see this!

[@thefactsarethese3668]

You and every other person with Six Flags for a home park...Great America local here!

[@can_you_guess_my_new_username]

I agree - this park is picturesque. Lol@ he said "he really liked Munster Mansion and that park wasnt good enough to deserve it" Lol

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great rides, poor operations!

[@David-ml5gj]

Hey Shawn I am a big fan, just to ask are you going to Paultons Park this week? Because I am going with my family at some point this week (when I find out the exact date I will edit this). We are currently staying in a converted chapel which has rooms. Quite often our family gets together at breakfast or lunch or dinner and watches your amazing vlogs. It would be nice to meet you :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I won't be visiting this week but have a great time!

[@David-ml5gj]

Thanks for taking the time to reply and I really hope that I can meet you one day :D

[@AJ_Vortex]

Blue Hawk is seriously underrated!!

[@deltatv3525]

It’s a good ride

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It is indeed, loved it!

[@mr.noride7226]

Alex Boone Tbh, the vest restraints make the best ride boring to me. I have never been a big fan of vest restraints even though they do prevent head banging. The best part of Blue Hawk which I have always liked are the near misses with the track and supports. Besides that the ride is underwhelming to me.

[@patricemarie]

It is!

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

I hope that leaving early meant you got a few extra hours of sleep before the next park. Your punishing schedule was bound to take its toll at some point and I think this day was it. Such a shame your experience wasn’t the best. Perhaps, as others have suggested, your tiredness level and the heat made things seem even worse. Hopefully the next park takes a turn for the better.

[@chickenchipee2330]

You should do a top 10 on the theme parks you’ve been to

[@kevjoesph7164]

Another epic vlog

[@kylecormier2862]

Hey Shawn i am making a 6 to almost 7 hour movie of the whole series of your TPW's Big U.S.A. Giga Trip that you and Alex have been, so i put them in order from the TPW park vlogs & travel vlogs & of course adventure shawn vlogs in that video. So for part 1 of the trip is from Texas to Missouri and then for part 2 into Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana. until to Dollywood & Pigeon Force in Tennessee, but i have to wait until the next travel vlog of part 3 comes out. Also to know, what day are you putting in a part 3 of the USA Road Trip travel vlog.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We hope your enjoying the series so far!

[@coastertimecapsule]

Shawn: *shows blue hawk* *kiss from a rose begins to play*

[@gbfan1188]

I watched this a few days ago and though you were a bit critical of the park. However , I am here for opening day and half the coasters are closed and the ones that are open, keep having issues. Ride Operations is not the friendliest.

[@themeparkenthusiast169]

Any theme park enthusiast who knows anything about anything knows that a coaster doesn't completely close because the track is wet, unless in some circumstances like with a launch coaster or a woodies where it may complicate safety systems like braking. Sad to see Six Flags care so little and blatantly lie to customers, enthusiasts no less who know what they are talking about for the most part, rather than just doing their job and getting the rides operational. Very disappointing and almost laughable. I'm also pretty sure that when the manufacturers design these systems, that they take into account thousands of variables, and I highly doubt that liquids on the track would be allowed to shut down a coaster. Shambolic to say the least, SF should be quite ashamed tbf. On a happier note, really enjoying binging these vlogs to catch up!

[@sorrym8421]

It's not necessarily the fact that the track is wet. It's the threat of lightning storms. In Georgia lightning storms can form in minutes. But yeah, in this occasion it sounds like it was all bs. They were probably short staffed and had to think of some excuse to shut down a couple rides.

[@tonyp8808]

On this particular kid ride it will close. Poorly designed track leaves the platform sitting in couple inches of water. They don't tell guests that. Just say it's too wet.

[@camikelly2356]

I'm glad you went to Six Flags Over Georgia. That's my home park. I wish I could've come out to meet you, but I had a family reunion to attend. I can say from my experience that the operations are usually not that great. And the customer service can be disappointing, as well as the ride closures.

[@brianzuber1680]

They didn't know that blue hawk was the Ninja before it was refurbished into the blue hawk and it was also in the movie vacation at the end when they get stuck upside down

[@mtaffer]

Loved the Ninja

[@anthonycappello6176]

If you ever make your way back to the states, you should try Six Flags Great America

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’d like to visit!

[@tonyp8808]

Cyclone was awesome when first opened after the RMC job. Now it seems the thrill of it has faded. Too short of a coaster for its layout to really be enjoyed. 90% of the park is black asphalt. If it's 85 or hotter out, the park will beat you up bad. Very little AC to escape to.

[@user-yn1bd4yf3h]

Tony P That's why I think the Cyclone layouts are not fit for RMC conversions, as there's too little structure to work with on them. Twisted Cyclone is apparently really good, but I think it would have been better to give Georgia Cyclone a GCI renovation like GhostRider got and giving their other wooden coaster the RMC treatment instead

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
