People, wear straps on your glasses. They're super cheap, you can throw 'em in your pocket easily, and they've never failed me. It's so much better than riding blind or losing your glasses!

I think, if there's no way to truly restore Revolution (removal of trims, track re-profiling, etc.), they should replace it with a ride that keeps the same spirit, especially that iconic drop into the loop. I could see Intamin doing an awesome job on that.

The ride isn't opening until Memorial Day weekend, sadly. At least it gives me an excuse to add a third trip to Six Flags to my schedule this year! I usually go in Spring and Fall, but now I'll have to hit it up in the summer, too

I'd like to know where you heard SFoG was removing their log flume. It certainly was still there at the tail end of last year...

I had a ride on Georgia Cyclone that was pretty terrible. It was the end of the day and there was no line, so I decided to give it one more shot (having a rough time earlier that day), and, well, I'm glad it was the last ride of the day. The ride has seat belts and single lap bars, and my lap bar only ratched down a couple clicks! I yelled at the ride op to either fix it or let me switch seats, and she basically shrugged and said "yeah, you're fine." I took her word for it. Now, I'm kind of a skinny twig, so... it was an interesting ride, to say the least. Thankfully, the years have not been kind to GC, and the ride doesn't have much airtime anymore. However, it was by far the roughest ride I've ever had on a coaster (excepting possibly Ninja). You are not meant to move around that much on any ride, ever. And when there was airtime... my poor crotch. Anyways, I left that park wishing I'd had the balls to ask for a free pass or something from that op. Seriously, that was rough, and I deserved compensation!

Yeah, I'm saving the Rocky Mountain track as a next decade achievement, because if that makeover works (and turns out to be not too expensive - I haven't seen the figures, though I suppose it'd be more pricey for the TG than for a smaller woodie), I could see a lot of parks revitalizing their woodies that way.

Ah, nothing says Christmas like a

I was kind of sad it was gone, because, when I was younger, I used to have one of those VHS POV videos that included it. I went to BGW for the first time this year, and couldn't help but shake the feeling that I'd never get to ride it.

Oh my god, new worst: SFOG's Mind Bender this year. I didn't think it was possible to have a more forceful stop than GASM's. It stops so hard on the brakes that the back car isn't even on the brake track, and they fully stop not even 25% of the way down the brakes (this is on a two-train ride - not like they need room for a third).

Glasses strap is totally the way to go here. I've always used them, and I can't even imagine riding anything blind. Just make sure it's pretty tight and you'll be fine (and maybe carry a backup pair, just in case ) I never even get questioned about it by attendants at Six Flags Over GA, nor was anything said to me on my recent vacation to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, but the couple times I've been asked to take off my glasses at other parks (usually on rides with OTSRs where the strap is hidden), I've just said that I had a strap on and they were fine with it.

The main problem with the ride is that it loses a _lot_ of its speed towards the end of it. If you could speed the ride up- in general, really, it could probably be faster and still pull good G's- it would be awesome.

Georgia Scorcher has refused to release its restraints on me twice (we got to go again each time ).

I went on Saturday, and Deja Vu was stuck in the boomerang all day (thankfully, with no one on it- I'm assuming it happened during a test run). I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of it.

I'm downloading it now; it's only 300 megs. I've never played the first one, but it always looked interesting.
