The Riddler Mindbender POV 5K Six Flags Over Georgia Austell, GA

[@Lucky_9705]

This and Shockwave pioneered skeletal track. The cross-beamed, square look of this track looks awesome. Intamin, Mack Rides, and Gertslauer, manufacturers who have German roots, emulated this track style, and it’s easily my favorite looking track.

[@EastCoasters]

Same! 🥃

[@patrickstrahm05]

How does it ride after the retrack?

[@funfairs__uk]

Intamin are Swiss

Agreed my friend!!

I remember putting my hands up for this and never putting them down. I loved this ride so much

[@skinnerbat]

Wow, this was the first roller coaster I rode that took me upside down! Had to be the late 90s or early 2000s.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Fun ride, I'm glad they refurbished her over scarping for a new ride

[@MLMLW]

I remember when this was built in the park. I've ridden it more times than I can count. Fun coaster!!

[@janetmarlena6815]

This looks like a really fun coaster I always wanted to ride it! I'm glad for the retheme because it means it plans to stick around! People back in the day must have had crazy anticipation seeing the loop from the first drops getting closer and closer......!

[@Atlmel7349]

The last time I rode the mindbender was in the summer of 1986🙃😂smh..We went to six flags 4 days out the week that summer in 86..I was 9yrs old..Season pass was 19.99 with the "coke can"😂💪...I'm 44 now..it's time to get back to six flags...Six flags if I can show you guys a season pass from 86..I should get a free pass for 1 day..lol

Loved this Coaster .Bet the refurbish feels Awesome

Went here awhile back never thought it was scary going on this and conquering my fear of rollercoasters

The ghetto "OHKAY" at 1:12 is definitely Atlanta described in 1 second LOL

On that last bank, a tear would always push it's way out. Lots of g force!

This is my home park and I've never so much as seen the entrance for this ride. Lol

Hah, it’s just to the left of Batman the ride!

[@gaoutlaw]

This is my longtime favorite at Six Flags

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

In 2019, I took my 1st pilgrimage to Six Flags over Georgia and got to take 2 pivot head POVs of Mindbender before she was modernized in 2020 during the covid19 pandemic.

Its a fun ride my 7 year old brother rode it too

One of my first upside down coasters.

Greetings! May I use this footage in a video I'm making about controversial roller coaster makovers? I will give your channel full credit.

[@fredericmarcil685]

Is it rough at the bottom of the 'loopscrew' ? Looks like it shakes a lot now

[@izduckii8143]

Yes, don’t put your hands up at any part of the ride it will fold you like a pancake

[@josephhenley9327]

it was rougher before the retrack. it's not too bad but it is a very intense moment of high g forces so I think that is why it shakes more there

[@CxsmicRxse]

@@izduckii8143 I accidentally put my hands up for the whole thing. I planned the put them down but I couldn't due to the force

Riddle Me This

[@Shockzone1495]

How do the new B&M trains feel. Do they make the ride feel more comfortable or does it feel the same.

[@EastCoasters]

It’s similar. Not too different

[@josephhenley9327]

how do you know that b&m did those new trains?

[@Shockzone1495]

@@josephhenley9327 RCDB confirmed it.

[@jessefuir5032]

[@corybourrier9722]

Awesome video!! Hey do you plan on visiting Canadas Wonderland to get epic footage of the coasters there?

[@izduckii8143]

I made the mistake of having my hands up during the loops and it killed my back, shit was hurting for a few days

[@CanobieCoaster]

Great POV! Can I please use this with credit in a review of this coaster? Looks like you got lucky with the trim before the 2nd loop not hitting too hard. It was bringing the trains for me to a near total stop.

[@EastCoasters]

Absolutely 🤌🏽

[@CanobieCoaster]

@@EastCoasters Thanks!

[@mikewater1913]

how was the attendance at this six flags

[@UncleRenz]

I went last year and can confidently say this Six Flags needs work. Especially being in a major city

[@Bordomized]

I’m sorry but how does this place 28th in the golden ticket awards? Above Pantheon, Montu, and X2?

[@cancelled148]

Six Flags needs to know how to add shade. That Gotham area looks hot, literally

[@BlueRidgeBlackRedneck]

This looks like it was filmed in late winter. In the summertime those trees are green as can be.

[@EastCoasters]

This was filmed in the late Spring.

[@BlueRidgeBlackRedneck]

@@EastCoasters huh, interesting. The last time I rode Mind Bender I remember the surrounding foliage being much denser than this. I really loved that about this ride.

[@oneandonlysound99]

Yeah, not only that but they basically stook with the indoor microwave oven feeling cloned building structure for there "batman: the ride" coasters. Unless they've added any proper air conditioning or actually bother to run it if they do, haven't been back since 2020 and I skipped it (along with Superman+couple others) because they were clones of home park coasters (I'd prefer this to my home park minus the stand up not being floorless and a generally bigger and/or launch coaster being absent, I'm glad it has classics like Mindbender and Blue Hawk along with Goliath an above-average intense B&M hyper and possibly the best Batman the ride too).

[@harleyweeks1255]

If b and m replaced the trains for this what restraints do they have? I can't tell from the pictures but are they over the head or not as this is a weired train design for them being 2 seats across.

[@calebjsmith727]

They're still lap bars, more modern ones. I rode it, they are not intrusive at all, true to the original while still being safer

[@reillywalker195]

B&M also made 2-across trains for _Steel Dragon 2000_ in Japan. Its lap bars are clamshells like those on B&M hypers but with added shin guards.

[@zozo_choi]

Is the drop intense on this ride?

[@EastCoasters]

No it is not.

[@its_aries1222]

Im going tomorrow,for my bday

[@darrienpaul]

Not gonna lie the trains look kinda odd for the ride.

[@EastCoasters]

They’re new and from a different manufacturer 🤌🏽

[@SunsetWingman]

Wikipedia says this was the first triple loop coaster... what happened, I only count 2

[@EastCoasters]

That would be Shockwave at Six Flags Over Texas

[@SunsetWingman]

@@EastCoasters en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Riddler_Mindbender Is wiki wrong?

[@EastCoasters]

@@SunsetWingman yes they are

[@sonimatic]

That was a marketing gimmick. In reality this only has 2 inverting loops. The inclined helix isn't a real loop

[@topthrillshorts644]

I rode this a few weeks ago! Better than original! (Hot Take)

[@Itsyaboyharry98]

Absolutely wack, I'd agree if the capacity wasn't awful now, and if they turned down the trims so the ride doesn't crawl through the course

[@mickeywalker100]

They made it alot slower then it use to be we rode it at the grand opening last September

[@cmg2445]

Why are the new trains so much slower? This is not how I remember the ride being. It was a lot faster with the older trains. I guess the trim brakes were never running when I was growing up? The brakes on that mid-run look brand new so that's probably why the ride is slower now.

[@fields4134]

The only ride I don’t like a SFOG because it hurts my neck so bad

[@EastCoasters]

Strange. It doesn’t have over the shoulder restraints and is one of the smoothest rides in the park.
