CycloneMan Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) This is more of just photos than an actual Photo Trip Report. But if you have read any of my trip reports, you know I take photos of everything and then just put captions. So, I don't really need to do more. 10/26/12 First day of the trip I chose this to be the first photo because...well, I knew the girls would kill me if I posted this. The trip consisted of myself, my room mate Jackie (left) and one of our good friends Lauren. Here they are putting air in Jackie's tires before we leave Orlando. After about a 7 hour drive, we made it to our motel, which we dubbed "The Rape Motel," down the road from Six Flags Over Georgia. We chose this motel because it was cheap and in walking distance from the park. As you can see, it was really for us to not get lost on our way from the Rape Motel. The three of us ended up buying season passes for 2013. The 2013 season passes were discounted $20 off because we live out of state and included free parking and admission to all SF parks. It cost us a total of $45. Our original plan for the trip was to do SFOG Friday night and all of Saturday. Then hit up Wild Adventures (ugh) on the way back to Orlando, but because we ended up with the season passes, we just stayed at SFOG the whole weekend. We first started on Georgia Cyclone (no pics) and then went on Acrophobia a few times. There was no wait for it. In fact, the lines all weekend weren't really that bad. Georgia Cyclone at night. A view of the Promenade/Main Entrance area at night. Dare Devil Dive Lauren was excited to ride it, being it's the only coaster in the park she hadn't ridden yet. Our first night group shot. Left to right; Jackie, Lauren, Me and Michelle. Michelle is a friend of ours who we've worked with in Orlando. She lives in Atlanta, so she took the time to come out and see us. This was one of many stupid things we saw Six Flags Over Georgia employees do. It's hard to tell in the photo, but an employee was having guests go over the railing and walk through the trees to get to the other side of the path to open the queue. This was so the guests wouldn't have to walk around. ....what!? Between the four of us, we have worked at 9 different theme parks. We couldn't handle this Kind of blurry, but here's a photo from inside Monster Mansion, Six Flags Over Georgia's dark ride. And yes, cameras are allowed on the ride Lauren and I enjoying our ride. Jackie and Michelle also love Monster Mansion You can even sing along! Click to hear the song. We sure will. But not yet. This is the only picture we got of it. But we got to see SFOG's version of Dead Man's Party which is very much like SFGAv's. However, the show is inside of the Crystal Pistol Music Hall. And the performers actually sing. There it is, the beast of any Vekoma coasters, Ninja. Ninja is currently running with two of GASM's old trains. However, it is still one of the roughest steel looping coasters in the world. We'll end day one with a ride on the Dhalonega Mine Train. 10/27/12 Got in over 40 rides in one day Welcome to the Guest Inn, our luxurious motel. I...I don't even know... You can see why we felt completely comfortable here. This room was down from us. Lauren and I showing of the room. This was next to the building. This is where the Demon lives We started our day on Mindbender! We may have easily ridden this about 20 times with out getting up. This is my number 1 steel coaster in the world. This was also the last weekend for the Wheelie, the park's Schwarzkopf Enterprise. Jackie loves her Enterprises The girls posing with the beautiful entry to the Cotton State Exposition. The time has come to the Ninja Challenge: Pain-A-Thon! What this consisted of was, we had to marathon on the Ninja until some one in our group gave up. The penalty was, the first one off had to buy the $10 Apple Pumpkin Spiced Funnel Cake later. As you see, there is no line. Because no on in the right mind should ride this. Hello there old friend. This Great American Scream Machine from Great Adventure's old red train painted black. Unfortunately they took the old Arrow restraints and replaced them with the hard new Vekoma restraints. ....sigh. Lauren and Jackie seem pretty ready for the Ninja. This facial expression is about right. After 9 times on Ninja, Lauren and I gave in. Which means this freak won. Lauren driving us on the Hanson Ride. Jackie and I enjoying the old vintage cars. Lauren and I on the Review Carousel. Jackie on her horse. Alright, time to give in and buy this. It was really good The girls pose with their favorite drop tower. This may have been one of the stupidest advertisements we saw the entire trip. We gave there Haunted House a try. It was good. Not the best, not the worst. Honestly we have nothing to really say about it other than it was alright. "Is it time to go back to the plantation yet?" Monster Mansion used to be called Monster Plantation. In 2007 they gave it an upgrade and added some new effects. In this layover, they also renamed the ride. The monsters were also dressed for Halloween. Wait! Which Six Flags are we at again? Six Flags Over Georgia had this strange simulator for Fright Fest called Last Ride You get in a coffin... They close it. And everyone can watch you in it. Lauren giving it a try Jackie's turn. The attraction had some potential to be terrifying, but it was just...meh. Overall, we didn't like it. It tosses you around like you're in the back of a hearse. You get lowered into the ground. You hear them burying you. And finally you hear bugs crawling in. It smelled like dead roses and embalming fluid. Overall, not a good attraction. Lauren and I will be hosting your Tommy-knocker meet and greet Deep in thought. Is it about Big Thunder Mountain? Or is it about food? Okay, it's food time. This Jackie's favorite of the ridiculous Six Flags adds. That's pretty awesome! Vekoma coasters, so evil. Yet, so pretty. A random shot of Wheelie at night. Why not? The Great American Scream Machine is pretty awesome at night. It may not be the smoothest coaster, but it's a whole lot of fun. The bunny hills at the end create some awesome air time. It's a great way to the end the night. Back at the Rape Motel, we got some new quality sheets for our bed. 10/28/12 Last day of our mini vacation The next morning we woke up to this alarm clock on Jackie's phone. You have to know us to fully understand us It's the last day of the season, and as you see. The Rape Motel is really poppin. Relax, it's being held together by a rope. Seriously... It was really cold for us Floridians. We layered up. Back at Six Flags Over Georgia, we started off by marathoning on Mindbender again. There's no other better way than to start any day. We rode every coaster in the park, including Ninja. This is Great Adventure's GASM's old blue train. Why yes there is a Big Mo on the Square Our last coaster of the trip was going to be the Georgia Cyclone (which was running great btw). But while we were in the station, us, and a few other guests noticed that one of the wooden bracing on the supports came detached from the rest of the structure. You couldn't see it while the ride wasn't running, but when a train went passed it, you saw it sway freely. They quickly closed the ride and immediately started inspections. I was really proud of the way the ride crew handled it. They did a great job. On the way out I saw this shirt. I know a certain some one who would love this We decided to walk back to the parking lot and take some photos of the coasters on our way out. Goliath and Georgia Scorcher. We rode Goliath about a dozen times during the trip. Including a night time ride in the front row. It was pretty perfect. We only rode Georgia Scorcher once during our trip. Fun ride. Not the best, but not the worst. It's no Riddler's Revenge, that's for use It is also very smooth. The parking lot is really the only place you can get good pictures of Mindbender. Mindbender has amazing airtime and g forces. Schwarzkopf really knew how to make them. And of course, Batman the Ride is always good as well. The 8th wonder of the world, the back side of Batman The Ride. The last picture of the trip. Jackie trying to get a picture of all three of us while I was driving back to Orlando, FL. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend. The three of us needed this little get a way from Orlando, and it was very well worth it. Also, most of these photos are from Jackie and Lauren. So I need to give some thanks to them as well -Dainan "See you next year Six Flags" Rafferty Edited November 6, 2012 by CycloneMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashacar Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I like your park pictures, but you commentary about the motel is entirely distasteful, insensitive, and wrong. Not sure why using "rape" as a prefix is supposed to make something funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Now there are my two baby trains from gasm! I wonder if the white one is being used for parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
