@edt-ze3ke I hope so. Haven't been in a few years but the park was looking a bit run down last time I was there. This park was great in the 90s and early 2000s.
A few thoughts.. - Acrophobia just had a major refurb and I know these rides are starting to see a decline but it’s still on the newer side. I think it’s safe for at least 5 more years. - Dare Devil Dive isn’t going anywhere in my opinion. - Dahlonega Mine Train is the next coaster to potentially get removed. - Entrance is staying put. They just redid it to shield it from the road. Layout is a bit weird but the park has been vocal about continuing to improve it including a giant custom painted mural. - The once had a back entrance where the go karts are but now with computer systems and all, I highly doubt they would make an entry there again. Especially not as the only entrance. - The smaller parking lot has been open every time I visit. It just doesn’t appear to be open and they often block it unless you are entering from the back entrance over there. There’s often no one directing traffic so I just go that way and do a U turn to get into that lot. Super convenient. I imagine the Cedar Fair management will start enforcing parking processes next year but this year it has been a free for all in that lot with people entering the lot through exits without going through the parking booths and many people parking all day in the unmarked drop off zone.
Acrophobia just went through a year long refurbishment; they said it’s newly painted, has a brand new gondola, motors, and cables. So it’s gonna be around for a long time. I also agree that arena is such a waste of space. I agree the entrance is weird, they should have kept it in the back. But they just redid the entrance so that probably won’t ever change.
Eons ago when I worked there, kids were often dropped of for the day which is why the entrance is designed the way it is. A seasons pass and $20 would keep the kids entertained. We were unofficially dubbed Six Flags babysitting service.
I do miss the back entrance to SFOG from the 90s. It was so much closer than walking all the way to the front. Nobody rides the go karts. It's an upcharge attraction and is rarely ever busy. Get rid of it and reopen the back gate or use it for future coaster expansion.
Correct! There was once a second entrance there before the super boomerang was build. That ride didn’t last long, but they closed the back entrance and never reopened
Always love these videos! If it was up to me I say Six Flags should turn the parking lot near Twisted Cyclone into a resort/hotel and a new parking lot on the west side of the park near the waterpark giving the waterpark its own entrance along with the waterpark being expanded! And of course build the 2 coasters you suggested in the video along with the new main entrance! Would love to see you do a similar video about Dorney Park or even Darien Lake in the future! 👀
The main entrance was redone. I went to coaster fest this year in August and was very surprised to see that while that front gate is there still, you actually enter to the left of the gate. This may have been done for this year. The big gift shop near the front entrance was recently renovated and looks really nice now also. Very excited for this parks future.
I grew up going to 6FOG. I remember the second entrance at the back of the park. It was always such a pretty park. I hope they get the money and attention they deserve!
(1) I don't see Acrophobia leaving, unless Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has big plans to build a replacement drop tower ride in its place. (2) If Kid Flash Coaster's days is numbered. That plot of land, including the Axis Arena theater, I could see a Premier Rides multi-launch coaster (maybe a mirror image clone of West Coast Racers) themed to Batgirl and Robin, or a family Vekoma boomerang ride. I'm not feeling it with a B&M Dive Coaster, unless Dare Devil Dive Eurofighter gets removed. (3) I could see Hurricane Harbor (which is included with admission to main Six Flag Over Georgia) getting a new addition, like a water coaster. (4) If Dare Devil Dive gets the boot, that could serve as an opening for B&M Dive, or one of those Vekoma Tilt Coaster, or something that could fit in that area very beautifully, and is attractive to the eyes. Mind Bender coaster is too iconic of a ride, and don't see that being removed anytime soon, as it's also an ACE landmark. While Georgia Surfer doesn't look too bad, I'd have welcomed seeing an Aquaman Power Splash ride instead, as that attractions would've had better capacity, similar to Six Flags Over Texas Aquaman Power Splash ride. (5) Six Flags used to have a rear entrance where the Go Karts and Pandemonium ride currently stands but did away with it at the end of the 1997 season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the front entrance get modified and updated. I could see Georgia Scorcher overhauled from stand-up to floor-less. If, in the event, the old rear entrance were to be reopened as new main entrance, and the current main entrance done away with, I could see a quarter or third of the west parking area removed and repurposed for park expansion, and a tunnel to the new area built, but that would be if new Six Flags management sees potential in growing the park with new attractions. They'd have to get park attendance up for that. I could see them building new Season Pass processing offices outside the park in that area, if the current main entrance were to be done away with. If the main entrance is moved back to old back entrance area, I could see original layout RMC Raptor or T-Rex coaster as new main entrance coaster. This will be a wait and see for now. Hopefully the next few years might be interesting.
Scorcher doesn’t need a floorless conversion if it’s already smooth and good enough to not need it. DDD is often argued of wherever it’s a dive coaster or not, but by looking at CP having a dive coaster and tilt right next to each other, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to offer rides with a similar gimmick but have different ride experiences. Many enthusiasts don’t like that kind of concept where as the GP do since they tend to enjoy gimmicky rides.
Poor Kings Island with the entrance everyone wants changed. At this point, KI’s entrance is never going to change because of nostalgia. It’s like wearing shoes long enough, they come back in style.
Six Flags Over Georgia is an amazing park to visit. And with the new Six Flags now having full ownership of the park, it makes me excited to see what the future holds for SFOG. Now, here's my answers for some of the burning questions: 1.) I have to agree with you, Acrophobia is a one of a kind thrill ride. I don't want to see this ride get removed from the park. Also, the ride went through a year-long refurbishment, with a new paint scheme, gondola, motors and cables. So, I don't see this ride getting removed in the next few years. 2.) Personally, Kid Flash is an odd fit for the park, despite the amazing lighting package. Now, if the coaster's days are numbered, the plot of land could be used for a Vekoma Family Boomerang coaster. 3.) SFOG's Hurricane Harbor waterpark is included with admission to the dry park. I predict that we could see Hurricane Harbor expand with some new additions, like a water coaster and a Mat Racer. 4.) Now, if Six Flags Over Georgia looks to remove Dare Devil Dive down the road, it would be prime real estate for a Vekoma Tilt Coaster. BTW, I don't think the park would remove Riddler Mindbender, since it's an iconic ride. 5.) I think that the idea of a new front entrance for the park sounds like a fantastic idea. The go-karts needs to go in my opinion, and a Premiere Rides launch coaster that interacts with the area would be incredible. Also, the idea of a B&M Family Inverted coaster being placed in the old entrance area would be a smart move for Over Georgia.
Now, here's my additional details that I could see SFOG do in the next few years: - The Great American Scream Machine would be re-profiled and re-tracked by GCI as well as some new trains. - Georgia Scorcher would be converted into a B&M Floorless coaster. - I think that the park would focus on adding a few new small family flat rides. - We'd see some new shows added to the park's entertainment offerings and a few new festivals as well during the operating season. - Monster Mansion could get another refurbishment, with the addition of a new ride system and update the animatronics and effects. - I think that we could see the addition of a new slogan for the park. Imagine something like, “Six Flags Over Georgia - ATL’s Place For Thrills.”
Brandon, I'm Charlotte born and Atlanta bred so I love having 2 home parks. I also worked at SFOG in high school so this park has a soft spot in my heart! I simply LOVE your idea of moving the entrance to the back and including a coaster that interacts with the entrance gate. My only issue is that should have been done during the Twisted Cyclone construction. Not many people realize that the ONLY reason the 3rd lap was omitted is because SFOG didn't want to tear out the restrooms at that end of the front entrance to expand the footprint in order to include the 3rd lap! If they had known Arie Force One was coming, I think they would have thought twice about not keeping the last lap! And I know I'm asking for trouble but I also wish we had gotten a Joker 4D Free Spin instead of the Larson Loop since that was the time frame when Six Flags was passing them out like Halloween candy! I know some people don't like them but to me, Gotham City just seems incomplete without one! It would have looked AWESOME towering over the pathway as you walk up the hill toward Gotham City! Now we'll never have one! All in all, your ideas are GREAT!
All Six Flags need more theming IMO. Even if you're only going for the rides or water slides it would go a long way if there were better visuals. Also changing the entrance makes sense - what a crazy walk now - but they would need to move the marketplace area as well. Very doable, might cost a few millions, but recouped over a few years. Hmmm... I might just do a new entrance re-design on my channel based on your information here.
I really like the idea of a new entrance; just like SFMM needs one as well. However SFOG really needs to invest in some type of flood barrier to elevate flooding before they build anything else.
Expand the waterpark and make it just like Dorney. 2 parks in 1 would help on very busy and hot days especially for the guests that don’t wanna drive the additional 20 mins to SFWW.
SFOG used to have 2 entrances. The front gate and where the go karts are now. Also before the water park, there was a back entrance where the old amphitheater was with parking beyond that. Maybe SFOG could reopen the back entrance for the water park and pave the old grass lot area
@ShiverJet New SF will definitely treat OG better than Legacy SF did. They should invest more onto the property since the park is a huge money maker and have full ownership.
Georgia is about 4hrs for me which is a bit further than Kings Island, and I don't get there that often. Versus Kings Island which is an every year park. I love the park, but it doesn't have that coaster that draws me to it. I don't know if they are restricted by height limits, I believe there is airport nearby but it might be far enough away and out of flight paths to not impose any limits. I always see them as a mid tier park, but definitely have the potential to move up. Thinking a solid multi-launch looper from vekoma and possibly a wing glider or small scale extreme spinner and they kinda need a family boomerang. I would love to see Mindbender return to its former glory, and Gravity Group do their magic on Scream Machine. Ride removals, I can see Georgia Scorcher get the axe eventually, but its still popular enough, and Blue Hawk but even that could still be a few years out.
I always thought that SFOG had the third weirdest layout of the six flags chain as far as the entrance and parking lot. Just behind New England and Discovery Kingdom. The back entrance idea sounds great and would solve a few issues with the park. Especially with the crime and violence that park suffers from.
I've stated this before, but I think the next addition for Gotham City should be a Zamperla spinning coaster similar to Wild Mouse at Cedar Point. They should also give it a Joker theme similar to the Gerstlauer spinner at Six Flags Mexico. Ever since they took out the Larson Fireball two years ago, I've been bothered by how there's no Joker in Gotham City.
you can change the park all you want, but the constant threat of guns, especially because the park is in a "gang-ish" area, will keep me from returning.
Thanks Brandon, where six flags missed an opportunity was the land adjacent to the second parking lot. There are 3 dilapidated hotels there and a third party parking lot. Six flags should have bought that land. I’ve read that a government building for homeless veterans will be building there. That will spill more potentially unwanted people in and around the area for a family friendly environment. I love this park, unfortunately the city has grown closer and closer to the park over the last 50 years that I’ve been traveling there. I now have grandchildren I would like to bring there, but I now have to stay further and further away from the park to feel safe. If they could somehow buy that land, cut off the outside traffic and get a chaperone policy the park would be able to thrive once more. As far as rides go, there is an airport less than a mile from there so height restrictions will apply. This is a beautiful park with lots of shade and potential. I will visit this summer.
Dare Devil Dive should be relocated to a park like Great Escape. It'd be welcomed as a replacement for Steamin' Demon and their Boomerang (if they close that as well). Relocating the entrance to the south side of the park only makes sense if the park also adds a path to eliminate the awkward dead end at Gotham City. That would put Georgia Scorcher in the very back, which would likely require a floorless conversion to keep its ridership up. If a new coaster is built in the Gotham City area, it may need to combine DDD's plot - the stadium footprint by itself is fairly small. A B&M Dive or Vekoma Tilt taking advantage of the terrain ("Penguin's Plunge", potentially) would be an interesting choice there. Agree that the south side of the park near Blue Hawk would be ideal for a Premier multi-launch coaster. The Southeast definitely needs one that's bigger than Ice Breaker. And Over Georgia doesn't have a standout coaster with a top speed of 55-65 mph. A custom Premier would fill that gap in their lineup perfectly.
@edt-ze3ke Goliath's entrance is closer to the center of the park than Scorcher's. And you're missing the point about Scorcher. People will not want to stand up on a coaster if it's in the back of the park instead of near the entrance.
Not sure how popular this suggestion will be but I’m intrigued about the situation at La Ronde, will it be sold, and if not, will they let it as is or make improvements? I hear it’s a very profitable park as it’s always jam packed despite little to no investment at all.
They just built a new entrance near the old entrance so I doubt that’s gonna change anytime soon. If they removed Mindbender thoosies would riot. Not gonna happen.
@@Uberbluedragon Unless the park has some sort of permit to go above the limit, they can. SFGAm had to file a permit to go above a certain beyond the limit because of an airport that’s a few away from where they are when constructing Raging Bull I believe
@fran0033 there is a small airport, not sure if it is private. Its literally on the next exit 1/2 mile from the six flags exit. Pretty sure they can’t exceed 200ft.
@@Honald-yt5dy Didn’t the park had Great Gasp before constructing Goliath, that was like 225ft I think, and Skyscreamer is likely 240ft when it was added nearly 12 years ago.
I can't consider the best park Georgia I think it could be way better than the pricing of the food and I don't think all the rides are the best there's only two or three I see
Six flags has over too many people to come every year why wouldn't they invest in something that a lot of people will go to. Along with that stop drinking these small flat rise and single line rides or single coasters In a busy park makes no sense.
This park deserves a lot more TLC than it has gotten in recent years. Atlanta is a huge metro area and the park has a ton of potential.
There have been a lot of TLC that’s been done last season. The merger is helping the park a lot.
@edt-ze3ke I hope so. Haven't been in a few years but the park was looking a bit run down last time I was there. This park was great in the 90s and early 2000s.
@theweakestlink2278 it looks WAAAY better than it did 2 years ago already. I think they are about to upgrade this park a lot
@@brooksbuffington3956 thats great to hear. We haven't been in a few years but planning to go back this summer.
It’s getting some good TLC, so far Goliath is getting repainted, surfer is opening this year, and much more.
Six Flags Over Georgia is my home park! Hope they build another big coaster!
A few thoughts..
- Acrophobia just had a major refurb and I know these rides are starting to see a decline but it’s still on the newer side. I think it’s safe for at least 5 more years.

Great insights thank you
Acrophobia just went through a year long refurbishment; they said it’s newly painted, has a brand new gondola, motors, and cables. So it’s gonna be around for a long time.
I also agree that arena is such a waste of space.
I agree the entrance is weird, they should have kept it in the back. But they just redid the entrance so that probably won’t ever change.
The refurbishment could probably prevent it from being a victim of SF’s devious stunt of closing down rides with no official announcement.
Eons ago when I worked there, kids were often dropped of for the day which is why the entrance is designed the way it is. A seasons pass and $20 would keep the kids entertained. We were unofficially dubbed Six Flags babysitting service.

Superman can run 3 trains with both stations but its rarely ever run it like that

Likewise
I'd rather see a Vekoma built. Be it Tilt, Inverted, Cycle, Cycle Inverted, Launch; w/e, they're all better than Premier and B&M now.
Both a Vekoma launch and tilt coaster would be great if SFOG wanted a new gen Vekoma in their lineup
Premier would be awesome if their trains didn't absolutely suck.
I grew up going to 6FOG. I remember the second entrance at the back of the park. It was always such a pretty park. I hope they get the money and attention they deserve!
Back in the early 80s, there was a second park entrance where the Go-Carts are located. That would be a great change!
(1) I don't see Acrophobia leaving, unless Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has big plans to build a replacement drop tower ride in its place.
(2) If Kid Flash Coaster's days is numbered. That plot of land, including the Axis Arena theater, I could see a Premier Rides multi-launch coaster (maybe a mirror image clone of West Coast Racers) themed to Batgirl and Robin, or a family Vekoma boomerang ride. I'm not feeling it with a B&M Dive Coaster, unless Dare Devil Dive Eurofighter gets removed.
(3) I could see Hurricane Harbor (which is included with admission to main Six Flag Over Georgia) getting a new addition, like a water coaster.
(4) If Dare Devil Dive gets the boot, that could serve as an opening for B&M Dive, or one of those Vekoma Tilt Coaster, or something that could fit in that area very beautifully, and is attractive to the eyes.

While Georgia Surfer doesn't look too bad, I'd have welcomed seeing an Aquaman Power Splash ride instead, as that attractions would've had better capacity, similar to Six Flags Over Texas Aquaman Power Splash ride.
(5) Six Flags used to have a rear entrance where the Go Karts and Pandemonium ride currently stands but did away with it at the end of the 1997 season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the front entrance get modified and updated. I could see Georgia Scorcher overhauled from stand-up to floor-less.

This will be a wait and see for now. Hopefully the next few years might be interesting.

All in all, your ideas are GREAT!
Shoutout to SFoG. 👍🏾
This just uploaded and is fire! 🔥
Move the entrance so that it’s closer to the parking lot that doesn’t flood.
It makes no sense to put money into an area that is so prone to flooding.
Silver Dollar City burning questions video?
Waiting in line for Daredevil dive on a hot summer day is terrible! They do not have enough awnings to protect guest from the Sun.
SFOG can certainly use a dive or tilt coaster in their lineup, and would be a perfect addition to add for their 60th that’s coming up soon
All Six Flags need more theming IMO. Even if you're only going for the rides or water slides it would go a long way if there were better visuals. Also changing the entrance makes sense - what a crazy walk now - but they would need to move the marketplace area as well. Very doable, might cost a few millions, but recouped over a few years. Hmmm... I might just do a new entrance re-design on my channel based on your information here.
I really like the idea of a new entrance; just like SFMM needs one as well. However SFOG really needs to invest in some type of flood barrier to elevate flooding before they build anything else.
Need to check out this park soon!
Expand the waterpark and make it just like Dorney. 2 parks in 1 would help on very busy and hot days especially for the guests that don’t wanna drive the additional 20 mins to SFWW.
For point 5, for the new entrance I believe a launched wing coaster would be best, kind of like a cross between gatekeeper and Rapterra.
SFOG could loose a few coasters and I don’t think many would complain. It needs a complete overhaul, everything feels off the shelf.
SFOG used to have 2 entrances. The front gate and where the go karts are now. Also before the water park, there was a back entrance where the old amphitheater was with parking beyond that. Maybe SFOG could reopen the back entrance for the water park and pave the old grass lot area
they still use the parking lot in the front sometimes. also there was a gate at the rear long time ago. sfog had 2 gates
There actually used to be a second gate there where the go karts are until the current front gate was built
9:00 Knott's also has entrance on public road
I'm so thankful to have over georgia and fsaa relatively close, I hope the new six flags treats over georgia better then the previous six flags did
@ShiverJet New SF will definitely treat OG better than Legacy SF did. They should invest more onto the property since the park is a huge money maker and have full ownership.
@edt-ze3ke I sure hope so, and I honestly can't wait to see what they add next
We need a 2026 prediction video for Cedar Point😂 or Snake River Falls replacement!!

Magic mountain is another odd one lol
The arena is used for competitions for bands or cheerleading.
They still do not own all of the park YET.
Liked the video! You should make a burning question video about Seaworld Orlando or bush gardens Tampa or Six Flags America
I've stated this before, but I think the next addition for Gotham City should be a Zamperla spinning coaster similar to Wild Mouse at Cedar Point. They should also give it a Joker theme similar to the Gerstlauer spinner at Six Flags Mexico. Ever since they took out the Larson Fireball two years ago, I've been bothered by how there's no Joker in Gotham City.

Thank you for your comment!! I hope you do! The park implemented a chaperone policy in mid summer last year and it worked out much better
The old entrance to the park was actually by the go kart track
They used to have a entrance there when they had two entrances
I LOVE SFOG!! I like these ideas!!
Have you done a video like this on Over Texas, & Fiesta Texas if not could you do one on both.
Dare Devil Dive should be relocated to a park like Great Escape. It'd be welcomed as a replacement for Steamin' Demon and their Boomerang (if they close that as well).
Relocating the entrance to the south side of the park only makes sense if the park also adds a path to eliminate the awkward dead end at Gotham City. That would put Georgia Scorcher in the very back, which would likely require a floorless conversion to keep its ridership up. If a new coaster is built in the Gotham City area, it may need to combine DDD's plot - the stadium footprint by itself is fairly small. A B&M Dive or Vekoma Tilt taking advantage of the terrain ("Penguin's Plunge", potentially) would be an interesting choice there.
Agree that the south side of the park near Blue Hawk would be ideal for a Premier multi-launch coaster. The Southeast definitely needs one that's bigger than Ice Breaker. And Over Georgia doesn't have a standout coaster with a top speed of 55-65 mph. A custom Premier would fill that gap in their lineup perfectly.
Goliath is SFOG’s standard out coaster though, and Scorcher doesn’t need a floorless conversion
@edt-ze3ke Goliath's entrance is closer to the center of the park than Scorcher's.
And you're missing the point about Scorcher. People will not want to stand up on a coaster if it's in the back of the park instead of near the entrance.
Thank you for your 100+
Comments Brian! I really appreciate you!
Love the idea of using the DDD plot with the Gotham area for a new tilt
My son and I are making our 1st trip to Six Flags over Georgia this summer.
i'd rather see them go with a vekoma suspended family coaster than a B&M, tbh.
Not sure how popular this suggestion will be but I’m intrigued about the situation at La Ronde, will it be sold, and if not, will they let it as is or make improvements? I hear it’s a very profitable park as it’s always jam packed despite little to no investment at all.
SFOG does need more TLC! It has more land to make more rides
If they close Mindbender I'm done.
They just built a new entrance near the old entrance so I doubt that’s gonna change anytime soon. If they removed Mindbender thoosies would riot. Not gonna happen.
Here's a real burning question...could over Georgia's next coaster be a giga.......
no won't happen sfog has a height restriction
My prediction is a b&m dive coaster with 250 ft height and 300 ft drop
can't sadly due height restrictions it being close to atlanta airport
That would honestly be like if Orion was a giga dive instead of a traditional giga lol 🤣
@@Uberbluedragon Unless the park has some sort of permit to go above the limit, they can. SFGAm had to file a permit to go above a certain beyond the limit because of an airport that’s a few away from where they are when constructing Raging Bull I believe
@fran0033 there is a small airport, not sure if it is private. Its literally on the next exit 1/2 mile from the six flags exit. Pretty sure they can’t exceed 200ft.
@@Honald-yt5dy Didn’t the park had Great Gasp before constructing Goliath, that was like 225ft I think, and Skyscreamer is likely 240ft when it was added nearly 12 years ago.
No upcharge for HH it comes with the six flags ticket 😊
Mind binder, super man, and Dahlonega mine train i breve can all run 3 trains but I’ve only ever seen mind binder run 3 once
I can't consider the best park Georgia I think it could be way better than the pricing of the food and I don't think all the rides are the best there's only two or three I see
Super Boomerang replacing kid flash??? :)
(With Turntable)
The burning question re mark isn’t a good tone over the fires in La
Six flags has over too many people to come every year why wouldn't they invest in something that a lot of people will go to. Along with that stop drinking these small flat rise and single line rides or single coasters In a busy park makes no sense.
