I was there for 2 full days and 10-15 spins on it back in 2003 and it was braked to death. The first trims were the worst. In the back seat there was no airtime until you crested the hill, then for the drop (third hill this is) it's insane. That insane airtime was supposed to last twice as long with a high cresting speed and it would've greatly improved the air in the of the train. The mcbr was on sorta "trimy" and the last trim before the figure 8 did nothing. Still that thing would amazing to an extent that is rather hard to describe without the trims. As it is it's still one of my favorite coasters and it has my favorite first drop (yes, it's better than MF if you ride both in the back).
Oh and the other cool part about this is that my Aunt and Uncle live down in the Atlanta area so maybe I'll finally pay them a visit for a week or so for a ride on this next summer. And on the drive back I'll hit up Dollywood and Holiday World.
If I get the Dells' in there next year too it may well be my best coaster season ever, or at least since 02' or 03' when I was getting in lots of new parks and/or rides.

^RB trims really aren't bad- at all. I have been to SFGAm twice, probably have ridden it about five or six times and have never had a bad, heavily- breaked ride.

I really like that name, glad to see it used again. Hopefully this is in fact a B&M with the same colours, that would look good.
Now between Florida and Georgia that area will have all of B&M's catalog.
Looking forward to seeing it go vertical.

SonOfBeastSucks, I just visited SFGAM and the trains on Raging Bull were braked heavily. Comparing my two visits since RB has opened...
2001: first trim gently tapped the train; mid-course brake run was off; third trim was off
2005: first trim definitely interrupted the flow; MCBR slowed the train; third was off
It was definitely running better on my first visit.

Well they've already used that orange orange and greenish blue color scheme twice on the same type of ride, I hope they don't use that again.

The first time I went to SFGAm was the year SUF opened, and all I remember is liking it a lot. I went again during a quick trip to Chicago in early July of this year, and the ride wasn't breaked heavily, so I must of caught it on a rare "good" day.

^New coasters might open every season but it's not that often that the South East is going to get it's first hyper.
