Six Flags Over Georgia (SFOG) Discussion Thread

There's a kiddie area and go karts now, but since Deja was there and it had a height of 170-something feet, they could make use of the possibility for height in that vicinity to put part of a coaster there...will be interesting to see if they do something like that.

Wonder what that is all about?

My guess is expanding/creating a larger waterpark.

Why? SFWW is good enough.

I'm guessing they might be building a new amphitheater.

My guess is a Batman themed wing rider that will duel with Superman so they can promote the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie.

They do have Skull Island right there. If it is popular enough, expanding on it wouldn't be the worst idea.

It is interesting that Southern Star is leaving. Given the timing of that and a survey a few months back that talked about a water park expansion, I would say that seems a likely bet. Also, I did notice some drilling happening in between the back of Southern Star and the back of Superman's station about two weeks ago. Personally I think a water park expansion is redundant given the quality and nearness of White Water, but Skull Island always seems busy when I'm there, so perhaps there is demand for it after all.

Exactly. Skull island is always busy, plus it would be really cool to see them use that hillside back there for some slides.

Not sure how much of the land the park owns to the south-west of the arena, but just looking at the land immediately surrounding the arena, it looks like the arena's removal will open up a pretty large area for expansion.

^They own the majority of that land. Mostly backstage storage and employee parking right now.

I'm hoping for a coaster

^ I'm really hoping for a new coaster, too. But it looks like its going to be some kind of water park expansion. Maybe we'll get a new coaster where Ninja is; that's been my hope for a while now. They have a lot of extra space over the water for a coaster if they want it, especially if they take out Ninja.

How does it look like a water park expansion? Its to early to tell anything yet. For all we know they could just be tearing it down to cut maintenence costs.

Can anyone this weekend look for survey markers around the area? They would likely be up by now if it was for a new coaster.

Several people have said that it is a waterpark expansion, even a few that work at the park. I am hoping it isn't, but we will see. The reason why this would be a really stupid idea is because the river is right there and anytime it floods it would flood the water park. They would have to build it up on a hill for the river not to reach it. That part of the park is also not accessible if this was to become a separate entrance fee, which some of the SF waterparks are. SF does not need another water park.

Until the park confirms it, it is all speculation. I also think it is a water park expansion, but I am hoping otherwise.

I'm kind of steering the conversation away from the possible expansion rumors, but I was wondering what this is in the Batman station. It's on both sides of the track just before the station.

Fog machines. They used to blow a layer of smoke for the train to come back in the statio with.

Those are what used to shoot fog as you came into the station. Of course, since it is SF, these haven't worked in years.

SFMM's Batman has those too and of course they haven't worked in years either which is a shame as it's a cool effect.

I remember them sending out a survey about a waterpark expansion and I made sure I told them it was an idiotic thing to do. White Water is an awesome water park...why want another water park? But of course they probably threw my survey in the trash because it didn't agree with what they wanted to do. This is my home park, they need to leave the venue and trash Ninja...seriously. Worst coaster ever!

See the thing is, that if they remove the Southern Star, it almost seems certain that they're going to expand the water park. If you look on a map, the Southern Star is so close to the water park it's like you can jump off the railing in the park and end up on the stage.

Didn't know that Saturday is going to be the final event at their theater. I am actually planning on making the trip to Atlanta this weekend for the six flags celebration. It will be my second trip to six flags GA this year

The fog came back to the original Batman this year... for it's backwards premier. On media day, they over fogged the place for good photo ops and the "inaugural train" got stuck at the top of the lift. All that super thick fog shut the ride down It was a great view though!

Arent they supposed to be rotating the backwards batman train to all the six flags parks?
