I would now. But, the one and only time I went as a kid was momentous. I got as far as the coffin breathing couple. Carl Lewis couldn’t have caught me I backtracked so fast!🤣🤣🤣
I'm 48 now, and I vaguely remember going through the Horror Cave when I was five. The main thing I remember is a woman in a coffin under glass breathing.... I also remember my dad telling me about me seeing the woman breathing and saying, "Let's get out of here," upon which my mom took me out the front entrance while my dad finished going through the cave. I don't remember specifics of any of the exhibits before the coffin. I'm pretty sure I had nightmares based on this experience for years, although I look back fondly on the weirdness of it. I also remember going back to Six Flags when the Pac Man Play Fort had replaced the Horror Cave and still being on the lookout for something sinister that might have remained on that site. It's such an interesting local history.
This is one of my early memories. I remember that GAPING mouth and scary face like it was yesterday. I was probably 4 or 5 years old, so that would have been 1970 or 71. I was terrified, had to be carried through by my father, and I had my face buried in his shoulder, eyes slammed shut tight the entire way! Thanks for this video.
I honestly could only imagine the fear that was immediately bestowed upon you! Just wow! I truly wish that I was able to see it in person but hearing alot of peoples stories of them have gone through it at the same age as you did is actually quite common lol so you're definitely not alone in that feeling and experience! But thank you for sharing your story and I'm super glad you enjoyed the video! 😎
My heartfelt thanks for providing this. I grew up in south Georgia and our family went to Six Flag every year after it opened. I loved the park and the Horror Cave especially (Due to excitement, I would have trouble going to sleep the night before a trip.) Here are some other details I remember about the attraction, which others might want to confirm or deny: - Yes, the eyes in the entrance head lit up and moved - The scene with the vampires in the coffin ... As I recall, the fangs would extend on of them, while the eyes would slowly open on the other. - You could see the animated shadow of an organ player, though no one was sitting on the stool ... a neat illusion. - The sea monster sequence was very slow, and I remember missing it more often than not due to the push to keep moving forward. - There was a chained torture victim in a vertical cage, with bloody gashes all over her body, writhing in agony (even I found this scene gruesome at the time) - I remember a different music theme in the queue line ... A kind of eerie, repetitious "boomp-boomp, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch" that I can still hear in my head after all these years. Does anyone else remember that? Cheers!
The Male Vamp Had His Eyes Opening And The Lady's Breasts Would Move Up And Down As She Breathed. The Latter I Only Remember Due To Being A 13 Going On 14 Male At The Time, So, I Was Experiencing THAT While In There.Surprisingly, I Only Remember The Queue Song In The Video.
I worked at Six Flags in 1977 and went through that cave dozens of times. Those eyes used to light up and shift side to side on the entrance. The opening scene was definitely a cave with stalagmites and bubbling pools which those creatures would rise and sink into. I can clearly remember a parent telling their child, "It's not real. Don't be scared." Meanwhile the child cried all the way through the attraction. Another detail, at the base of the Male coffin there was a mouse hole and a mouse would dart in and out. It was even specially lit. The head cut off scene was indeed a bit gruesome and the guy in the back had a power saw that he swung back and forth while both men laughed maniacally. The electrical sounds of the Frankenstein scene were so loud. The spider bridge did not swing, but it was soft and squishy with a tufted floor. The room was all blacklight with many webs and spiders and the large spider that moved. Such a lot of memories from this attraction. I can't believe you found as much as you did. Thanks for posting this video!
So much great insight! Wow lol I for sure wish I would've had that a few months ago but I absolutely tried to find as much as I could for someone who never got a chance to experience it first hand to be able to tell this story in a mini documentary...but it took SO long to find what I could cause honestly if you look...info on it is borderline nonexistent! but overall I'm glad someone like you and others as well highly approve! Thank you though for the kind words and really glad you enjoyed the video!
What was the haunted house there that had an area that you would walk up high in a line, and when you looked down, there was a guy chained on to a platform and a giant axe was swinging down from the ceiling back and forth slowly chopping him in half? There were cloaked figures standing around him. Very foreboding! I was wondering if anyone else remembers this at Six Flags Georgia. As I recall it was right across from the monster mansion. 1980s.
I’m 55. My family went to SixFlags over Georgia when I was 3 or 4, so 1970 or 71. This mouth ruined me. I honestly think this is my first memory. I remember my old man carrying me, and walking through the mouth, and then those creepy monsters rising up and down, one went up, the other went down. I can still see them in my mind now! I called the mouth, “Gawkey Mouth” which morphed into the Gawkey Monster. This attraction f’ed me up for years. I applaud you Miguel for this bit of history. You made my month! Now I’m going to share this with my family.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Definitely isn't much information left out there on it but I manage to find out a lot in order to put together a final product that I'm very proud of! Glad you enjoyed it and hope your family does it!
Six Flags over Georgia is my home park too. I worked there for one season as a rides operator for the Mindbender. I am AMAZED at the amount off history you've provided and shared.
Thank you so much! Trust me took a lot of work and effort on this one! There is barely anything on this attraction. Not many pictures, no news articles...nothing really. Just stories, memories of others and the pictures and videos that I found that I had to patch and piece together to tell this amazing story of something so cool!
Thanks Tim! Glad you enjoyed it and glad I finally got it done after trying so hard to find info on it since there isn't much information or pictures of it. But I'm happy with it and thank you to you for talking to me about some horror cave when we talked after recording the podcast!
Thanks so much for this! The images confirmed some memories which were growing fainter. Except the quality was a bit cheaper than I perceived as a 6-year old!
Before Sid Krofft did the two attractions he was already doing puppet shows for Six Flags which is part of his segway into TV production with Puff N Stuff/Lidsville/Land of the Lost/etc Kinda funny that he briefly tried to compete with his own indoor theme park in Georgia
Great video!👏🏾😁I remember those scenes, particularly the vampires breathing. But I don't recall the slide at the end. Did they perhaps remove them due to the constant sticky waste you mentioned?🤔 Either way it was still fun!😅 Okay, next please do a video regarding the old House of Gravity.🙃 It was in the Spanish section as well, and resided right next to the Haunted Cave.🤞🏾Thanks for all your posts. They bring back so many memories for me!😌👍🏾
Hey Ceijonius! Glad you enjoyed the video! Lol now be honest...how terrified were you walking through this attraction? 😅 but yes! They odd had a slide at the end which was so odd and bizarre that was very sticky from what I heard cause alot of people would walk through the attraction with food and beverages and spill them going down the slide lol But I could definitely look into doing requested video! I'll definitely will be taking requests soon on what people would like to see so I'll definitely keep it in mind! But thanks for your support and glad you've been enjoying the content!
Oh, Lord, the Kindertrauma! I can't remember exactly how old I was when my parents took me through this thing but all I can remember are the vampires and turning tail and running screaming out through the entrance of the cave. My daddy had to chase after me and catch me because I think if he had not I would still be running to this day.
That is awesome coverage of that. My dad loves Horror stuff and he so loved that cave. I do remember it well, I mostly went through it with my eyes closed and held to my dad. But, I did it every time just so I could go down the slide, I loved that slide. You should check into the tilted house that was right behind that area, Like it was right in front of where the truck are now. I thinking the building was connected to the bathrooms right there. Thanks for the video, great job.
Hey thanks Vicki! Lol I remember you did mention that your dad loves horror stuff which is super cool! I approve! That's so cool too that you went thru the attraction! I didnt know that but I have heard multiple stories about kids keeping their eyes closed throughout their experience lol so you're definitely not alone there! But that slide was just so odd but people enjoyed it! I believe the tilting house that you were referring to was Casa Magnetica and you're right it was located where the kids trucks are now in the bugs bunny boomtown section! I'll definitely be interested in making a video about that! Great suggestion! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Does anyone remember inside the horror cave there was a scene when crossing the bridge of a man chained lying on a stone platform and a giant axe swinging back-and-forth slowly chopping him in half? He was screaming. There were figures cloaked in black standing around him. Very foreboding! It was in the early to mid 80s. Maybe it was added on later? I seem to remember all of the other scenes as well but that one is the one that stuck in my head. Does anyone else remember this? It was right across from the Monster Plantation as I recall.
I do remember what you're talking about. I remember picturing that every time someone mentioned Poe's story "Pit and the Pendulum." For some reason I cannot remember entering that mouth, but I remember the cemetery props by the line in as well as walking over that hump (tongue) to get in. I swear I also remember them having a house of illusions at some point, but I can't find any info on it, and all I remember is a slanted room and a floating faucet head that poured water as you exited.
@@corywofford9976 Great thank you! You were the first one to remember this. I wish I could remember the house of illusions that you’re talking about, but I don’t remember it. I’ll keep thinking and maybe the memory will pop in there at some point…
Wow I never knew they had an attraction like this kinda sucks they don’t have something like this anymore I would love to see like a jokers fun house or something in Gotham city would be cool no actors just walking and seeing lights and sounds jump scares fog machines would be lit!
It truly does suck that they dont have this attraction anymore or nothing else like it at the park, but one themed to a joker funhouse would be awesome! They actually have a fun house in the queue like at six flags Fiesta Texas I believe of their swinging pendulum ride like Pandemonium...but it doesn't have any jump scares, just theming
I went through when I was a kid. It was probably around 1979. It seems I remember looking down into a dungeon and there was the scene from The Pit & the Pendulum. Am I correct???
@@ThemeParksUncovered back in 1977 and 1978 they would have a monster escorting u through the scary attraction. One monster man came out of a mirror in the horror cave
Not just children. I was 14 when that ride opened, and freaked out when the boat took a turn into the marsh. That giant monster pointing at us and yelling "H U M A N S!!!" scared the hell out of me. 😳👍🏾😂
If I reply with the caveat of "as a child", I will have to say that it was "Tales of the Okefenokee" that scared me. By the time that Monster was created, I was older so I wasn't scared by the time that the monsters came to live in the park.
Great video! It was really interesting. I think La Ronde had a season long haunt called Maison Rouge. It was probably a modern twist on this and the haunted castle.
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed the video! That's interesting about the season long haunt at La Ronde...if that's the case I'll definitely look that up and would love to possibly make a video on it in the future! Thanks for sharing cause I've never heard about that!
Oh I definitely can believe it did! It may not seem scary to people now especially with how scary and advanced seasonal haunts are now but the Horror Cave was ahead of it's time! But thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video!
great memories i remember the spider web seen and the creatures but don't remember the head copping and i'll never forget the entrance into the head and that foam tough .....there was also a sign at the entrance of a demonic head with wings
Does anyone else, remember the various incarnations of this attraction, after it was cancelled? I think they tried to tone it down a bit, with at least 2 other attempts before it was completely replaced as a supernatural attraction.
My dads, not realizing exactly what it was tried to get me to go in. After stepping a few feet in, I turned around and get out. I thought the bridge was the beginning
I also remember the bridge being at the beginning. There was a voice coming from a speaker, saying "Go Back, Go Back, beware of the piranhas. I remember because a GMACRES camp buddy of mine named LaGrange Haddon actually went back. He was scared to death.
I hope they open dr.frightorium which is a haunted attraction for casa de muerta. Also I work there and my first job was at bug bunny and in the place where the haunted cave was I worked the ride toro toro which isn’t there but we’d all feel a weird vibe just being in there alone
I honestly hope too that they bring dr.frightorium too as well for fright fest...also I hope fright fest does indeed return this year too! But we shall see! But wow! That's cool that you worked there and at Toro Toro which was in the now arcade like area is where the joker funhouse coaster is now but yeah with you working at Toro Toro which was in the old building where the horror cave was...yeah I could see how that was creepy and eerie 😨
Wow! It really creeped me out how well you elicited the sheer terror of this ride!!! ☠️🎃👻 Great video about a ride I had never even heard of. Very well done!
Dale! Thanks man! Yeah the horror cave was extremely creepy and hard to find info on! I caught interest in this last year and took almost a year to find enough info on it to build up enough to make a video but fortunately I was able to find just about everything on it! Took a lot but I'm proud of it and makes my hyped that you enjoyed it as well as a fellow content creator & friend! But thanks man for the kind words and glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly I didnt either till a year ago, there's not much information on this attraction out there so it took quite awhile to dig up information but I'm glad I was able to so everyone could learn about it! 😎
I dont quite remember this but I was very young when I first went to six flags over Georgia back in 1980. i was 7 then so I doubt I would have walked through this but I'm sure my older brother did. Haunted Houses back then were very gory but at that time it was normal to us. I remember state fair haunted houses back in the 70's would have paintings of gory pictures of decapitated women and blood and whatnot. I would see this and somewhat cringe but it was the norm for haunted houses back then I guess.
Oh absolutely...that was about the primetime of haunted houses and gore definitely in the 80s...they didnt hold back on anything. People new may see this video and what the horrors the horror cave held within and think...that it's not that bad. True to today's standards, but if you think about the 1960s to the 80s that this was beyond intense specially at a theme park although the giant scary face outside was a huge indicator of that inside must be worse.
I REMEMBER TAKING A GIRL OUT TO SIXFLAGS ONCE BEFORE WE WERE OUT THERE ALL DAY AND WHEN WE LEF THA PARK SHE REMOVED HER SHOES IN MY CAR AND HER FEET WAS STINKY.AND I DATED A GIRL THAT WORKED HER NAME WAS MARANDA AND HER FEET WAS STINKIN WHEN WE LEF SIXFLAGS SHE SAID SHE HAD WATER INSIDE OF HER SHOES FROM THA THUNDER RIVER RIDE
I got another news for sixflags fiesta texas for Thanksgiving week they having team members take 3 days off for the week so no overtime and I'm mad because no overtime and it's going to make the whole park staffing small so if someone calls in it be hard to find a replacement team member for that days and everyday my area usually have some people calling in and that was just weekend only
🤨 I dont like that cause no overtime means less money for the staff for the holidays! Plus it'll be a huge toll on the staff AND its lessening the park experience for guests due to less staff to cover more grounds and potentially get frustrated and overwhelmed. Smh too much
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBERS THA LONG BOUNCING BRIDGE TO WALK FROM FROM THA FRONT OF THA PARK AND ENDED UP ON THA SIDE WERE THAT HORROR CAVE WAS?????IF IM NOT MISTAKING YOU COULD EITHER TAKE THA SKY BUCKETS OR WALK ACROSS THAT BOUNCING BRIDGE TO GET TO THA OTHER SIDE OF THA PARK.WHO REMEMBERS THA STINKY SMELL LIKE THROW UP IN CERTAIN AREAS.SIXFLAGS WAS MY HANG OUT I HAD SEASONS PASS AND I PULLED ALOT OF HOES THERE TO RIDE WITH ME.I TOOK SOME THAT I ALREADY KNEW BUT I ALL SO MET A LOT OF THEM JUST HANGING OUT THERE.I MISS RHA GOOD OLD DAYS NOW IM 51 OF YEARS HAVENT BEEN TO SIX FLAGS SEINCE 2003.OH YEA ON THA SCREAM MACHINE RIDE WHO REMEMBERS WHEN YOU'RE IN LINE AND YOU FINALLY GET TO WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET ON THA RIDE YOU ARE AT THA BOTTOM AND YOU ARE RITE NEXT TO THA PPL FEET WHO ARE WEARING FLIP FLOPS YOU WOULD SMELL THEIR STINKY FEET BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND ALL DAY IN THA SUMMER HEAT
Come on... We were just as aware of technology of them as young people are today. Yes, as very young children we are all frightened of the unknown. People of older age know the difference. Videos that assume everyone at at a rate 30 to 40 years before they were born were nothing but ignorant of the technology of their day were unaware of said goodness is really just looking for click bate... Ppptttthhhhh....
Would you dare to walk through this defunct attraction at Six Flags Over Georgia?
Maybe? XD
Would you like to walk through it and record it so more details about would be known?
I would now. But, the one and only time I went as a kid was momentous. I got as far as the coffin breathing couple. Carl Lewis couldn’t have caught me I backtracked so fast!🤣🤣🤣
Yes. I love this thing.
No, because its gone.
I'm 48 now, and I vaguely remember going through the Horror Cave when I was five. The main thing I remember is a woman in a coffin under glass breathing.... I also remember my dad telling me about me seeing the woman breathing and saying, "Let's get out of here," upon which my mom took me out the front entrance while my dad finished going through the cave. I don't remember specifics of any of the exhibits before the coffin. I'm pretty sure I had nightmares based on this experience for years, although I look back fondly on the weirdness of it.

Where exactly was the line.? My Brother And I Forgot Where It Started.

My favorite part of going to six flags in the 70s!
Thanks so much for this! The images confirmed some memories which were growing fainter. Except the quality was a bit cheaper than I perceived as a 6-year old!

I still remember tha music at tha entrance

Horror back then was more creepy in a different way than it is today.
It was authentic, handmade, crafted to perfection and relied on atmosphere and music rather than strobe lights and jumps scares
Does anyone remember inside the horror cave there was a scene when crossing the bridge of a man chained lying on a stone platform and a giant axe swinging back-and-forth slowly chopping him in half? He was screaming. There were figures cloaked in black standing around him. Very foreboding! It was in the early to mid 80s. Maybe it was added on later?

Love these history of rides videos
They're my favorite videos to make for you all!
Wow I never knew they had an attraction like this kinda sucks they don’t have something like this anymore I would love to see like a jokers fun house or something in Gotham city would be cool no actors just walking and seeing lights and sounds jump scares fog machines would be lit!
It truly does suck that they dont have this attraction anymore or nothing else like it at the park, but one themed to a joker funhouse would be awesome! They actually have a fun house in the queue like at six flags Fiesta Texas I believe of their swinging pendulum ride like Pandemonium...but it doesn't have any jump scares, just theming
ADORABLE!! I wish this was my house!!
The spindall top was fun.
💯 Definitely!
Man, thank you for this! That was traumatic!
Took A LOT of work to find the images and info but glad you enjoyed it!
GOOD UPLOAD👍
Sorry for the delayed response but thanks! I appreciate it!
I think I would run through with my eyes shut. Great, well researched video!
🤫same here! Lol but thank you! I really enjoyed making this video!
It was a sharp LEFT not a sharp right at the entrance.
I went through when I was a kid. It was probably around 1979. It seems I remember looking down into a dungeon and there was the scene from The Pit & the Pendulum. Am I correct???
That I'm honestly not sure of but we're you terrified going through this as a kid?!
I remember the pit and pendulum scene. The man at the bottom hollaring,"somebody help me."
Yes u are correct, they would change things around, back in 1977 and 1978 was a cemetery when u walked across the bridge
@@ThemeParksUncovered back in 1977 and 1978 they would have a monster escorting u through the scary attraction. One monster man came out of a mirror in the horror cave
I remember this attraction .
How was your experience from what you remember of it??? Hope you enjoyed the video!
Think, you see the giant eyes of the joker in two windows and enter a door below them. That could be a reference to the Horror Cave.
...wow. honestly could be trust! Never know! I'd like that if so
Since we are taking about scary rides at six flags who else here was terrified of monster mansion as a child?
🖐 It definitely has an eerie vibe to it for sure!
Not just children. I was 14 when that ride opened, and freaked out when the boat took a turn into the marsh. That giant monster pointing at us and yelling "H U M A N S!!!" scared the hell out of me. 😳👍🏾😂
If I reply with the caveat of "as a child", I will have to say that it was "Tales of the Okefenokee" that scared me. By the time that Monster was created, I was older so I wasn't scared by the time that the monsters came to live in the park.
From what I've heard and videos I've seen...monster plantation and monster mansion had absolutely nothing on Tales of the Okefenokee!
Me!
Great video! It was really interesting. I think La Ronde had a season long haunt called Maison Rouge. It was probably a modern twist on this and the haunted castle.
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed the video! That's interesting about the season long haunt at La Ronde...if that's the case I'll definitely look that up and would love to possibly make a video on it in the future! Thanks for sharing cause I've never heard about that!
Great job on this video Miguel
Thanks Jonathan! Long time no speak! Hope all is well and glad you enjoyed it 😎
This definitely scared me as a young child. Thanks for making this video!🌻💙🌻
Oh I definitely can believe it did! It may not seem scary to people now especially with how scary and advanced seasonal haunts are now but the Horror Cave was ahead of it's time! But thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video!
WHO REMEMBERS THA ROPE BRIDGE THAT WAS BOUNCING AND SHAKING WHEN WALKING ACROSS IT TO GET TO THA OTHER SIDE OF THA PARK.
great memories i remember the spider web seen and the creatures but don't remember the head copping and i'll never forget the entrance into the head and that foam tough .....there was also a sign at the entrance of a demonic head with wings
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it triggered some fun nostalgic memories for you!
I Don't Remember That Sign.
As a kid in the 7o s. It was scary. . shame its gone
It's honestly a huge shame that it's gone 😑
Things were being cancelled, even back then.
Does anyone else, remember the various incarnations of this attraction, after it was cancelled? I think they tried to tone it down a bit, with at least 2 other attempts before it was completely replaced as a supernatural attraction.
Yes, they did definitely indeed attempt to tone it down
My dads, not realizing exactly what it was tried to get me to go in. After stepping a few feet in, I turned around and get out. I thought the bridge was the beginning
I also remember the bridge being at the beginning. There was a voice coming from a speaker, saying "Go Back, Go Back, beware of the piranhas. I remember because a GMACRES camp buddy of mine named LaGrange Haddon actually went back. He was scared to death.
I hope they open dr.frightorium which is a haunted attraction for casa de muerta. Also I work there and my first job was at bug bunny and in the place where the haunted cave was I worked the ride toro toro which isn’t there but we’d all feel a weird vibe just being in there alone
I honestly hope too that they bring dr.frightorium too as well for fright fest...also I hope fright fest does indeed return this year too! But we shall see! But wow! That's cool that you worked there and at Toro Toro which was in the now arcade like area is where the joker funhouse coaster is now but yeah with you working at Toro Toro which was in the old building where the horror cave was...yeah I could see how that was creepy and eerie 😨
Thanks for the memories!!!
You're quite welcome! Although frightening memories...😅good memories nonetheless that I'm glad you enjoyed!
@@ThemeParksUncovered oh you’re right as a kid had a couple of sleepless nights over that Jekyll beheading ..😂
Lol oh I'm sure! I'm sure! 😂
Remember it well. Went my first time in 1970.
Wow! It really creeped me out how well you elicited the sheer terror of this ride!!! ☠️🎃👻
Great video about a ride I had never even heard of. Very well done!
Dale! Thanks man! Yeah the horror cave was extremely creepy and hard to find info on! I caught interest in this last year and took almost a year to find enough info on it to build up enough to make a video but fortunately I was able to find just about everything on it! Took a lot but I'm proud of it and makes my hyped that you enjoyed it as well as a fellow content creator & friend! But thanks man for the kind words and glad you enjoyed it!
@@ThemeParksUncovered wow!!! Admirable dedication!
👏thank you good sir!
are these actual archive footage and video on the attraction.
Yup! This contains actual footage and images!
Wow, I truly had no idea about this attraction.
Honestly I didnt either till a year ago, there's not much information on this attraction out there so it took quite awhile to dig up information but I'm glad I was able to so everyone could learn about it! 😎
It look more like Freddy Krueger
Haha honestly I didn't notice that but you're definitely right 😅
I dont quite remember this but I was very young when I first went to six flags over Georgia back in 1980. i was 7 then so I doubt I would have walked through this but I'm sure my older brother did. Haunted Houses back then were very gory but at that time it was normal to us. I remember state fair haunted houses back in the 70's would have paintings of gory pictures of decapitated women and blood and whatnot. I would see this and somewhat cringe but it was the norm for haunted houses back then I guess.
Oh absolutely...that was about the primetime of haunted houses and gore definitely in the 80s...they didnt hold back on anything. People new may see this video and what the horrors the horror cave held within and think...that it's not that bad. True to today's standards, but if you think about the 1960s to the 80s that this was beyond intense specially at a theme park although the giant scary face outside was a huge indicator of that inside must be worse.
I REMEMBER TAKING A GIRL OUT TO SIXFLAGS ONCE BEFORE WE WERE OUT THERE ALL DAY AND WHEN WE LEF THA PARK SHE REMOVED HER SHOES IN MY CAR AND HER FEET WAS STINKY.AND I DATED A GIRL THAT WORKED HER NAME WAS MARANDA AND HER FEET WAS STINKIN WHEN WE LEF SIXFLAGS SHE SAID SHE HAD WATER INSIDE OF HER SHOES FROM THA THUNDER RIVER RIDE
Wow 🤩🤩
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it! 😎👏
@@ThemeParksUncovered yeah 😃.. amazing video 😀😃🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you! I appreciate it!
@@ThemeParksUncovered welcome ... 👍👍
I WENT THROUGH THIS, WOULD DO AGAIN.
Did you enjoy it back then???
@@ThemeParksUncovered Yes! It was cool and me and my brother liked it so much
I got another news for sixflags fiesta texas for Thanksgiving week they having team members take 3 days off for the week so no overtime and I'm mad because no overtime and it's going to make the whole park staffing small so if someone calls in it be hard to find a replacement team member for that days and everyday my area usually have some people calling in and that was just weekend only
🤨 I dont like that cause no overtime means less money for the staff for the holidays! Plus it'll be a huge toll on the staff AND its lessening the park experience for guests due to less staff to cover more grounds and potentially get frustrated and overwhelmed. Smh too much
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBERS THA LONG BOUNCING BRIDGE TO WALK FROM FROM THA FRONT OF THA PARK AND ENDED UP ON THA SIDE WERE THAT HORROR CAVE WAS?????IF IM NOT MISTAKING YOU COULD EITHER TAKE THA SKY BUCKETS OR WALK ACROSS THAT BOUNCING BRIDGE TO GET TO THA OTHER SIDE OF THA PARK.WHO REMEMBERS THA STINKY SMELL LIKE THROW UP IN CERTAIN AREAS.SIXFLAGS WAS MY HANG OUT I HAD SEASONS PASS AND I PULLED ALOT OF HOES THERE TO RIDE WITH ME.I TOOK SOME THAT I ALREADY KNEW BUT I ALL SO MET A LOT OF THEM JUST HANGING OUT THERE.I MISS RHA GOOD OLD DAYS NOW IM 51 OF YEARS HAVENT BEEN TO SIX FLAGS SEINCE 2003.OH YEA ON THA SCREAM MACHINE RIDE WHO REMEMBERS WHEN YOU'RE IN LINE AND YOU FINALLY GET TO WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET ON THA RIDE YOU ARE AT THA BOTTOM AND YOU ARE RITE NEXT TO THA PPL FEET WHO ARE WEARING FLIP FLOPS YOU WOULD SMELL THEIR STINKY FEET BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND ALL DAY IN THA SUMMER HEAT
Okee was NOT "terrifying", t was cute.
Haha felt it was creepy. But I agree now...not terrifying
Come on... We were just as aware of technology of them as young people are today. Yes, as very young children we are all frightened of the unknown. People of older age know the difference. Videos that assume everyone at at a rate 30 to 40 years before they were born were nothing but ignorant of the technology of their day were unaware of said goodness is really just looking for click bate... Ppptttthhhhh....
