ADRENALIZE Stunt…read moreschool is in session with this wild Gerstlauer custom ride! This was my first encounter riding a single car dive coaster ('Valravn' notwithstanding) and I have to give it exceedingly high marks. This does for Six Flags Over Georgia what 'X-Flight' does for my local park Six Flags Great America - a perfect fit that delivers some excellent thrills and a few very unique, intense maneuvers. Be warned that guest throughput is extremely low - single cars are sent out with a maximum of 6 riders at a time, and that's only if station crews are diligent in filling them up (which doesn't always happen). With only one tiny train on the course at a given time, lines can stretch well past the 60 minute mark. My advice is to grab a snack + drink and get settled in. The ride itself is rather short; after disengaging the vertical lift, a 95° drop is followed by a delightful dive loop, banked turn, immelman, block brake, a few short drop turns and an in-line twist taken veerrrryy slowly. But let's get back to that whole vertical chain lift bit. I've never experienced that before and the slow ascent to 95ft had my nerves of steel REALLY on edge. Even with steep lifts like those on 'Millennium Force' and 'Goliath' @ SFGAm, that's nothing compared to the terror of being leisurely dragged straight up on 'Dare Devil Dive'. Uhhhhh mah gawdddd. Even with three inversions, this ride uses only lapbars (no over-the-shoulder restraints or seatbelts) for an extra terrifying sensation. Each car has flared stadium seating, which gives riders in rows 2 and 3 a less-obstructed view, a nice touch. Eric S's Six Flags Over Georgia coaster rating : 2nd out of 9!! Verdict --- brief but badass, this is a boldly distinctive roller coaster that stands proudly towards the top of Six Flags Over Georgia's lineup of thrill machines. A ride time of 1 minute and 40 seconds is unfortunate in that you'll likely wind up spending upwards of 45 minutes waiting for this dynamic Gerstulauer custom coaster. But it's worth it. _________________________ Final thoughts : I wish there were a dive coaster nearer to Chicago, since the closest one is located inside the Mall of America way the hell up in Minneapolis. Despite a rather short ride time, this one was an absolute blast and that vertical chain lift is SO unnerving. I STRONGLY recommend spending the extra time for the front seat on this one, no matter how long the estimated wait. Ladies and gentlemen, this one's not for sissies.

And the drop is even more thrilling but the fun kinda.. ends there. It just feels like a roller coaster and some of those days, the slowly moving loop is just too much for you. Operations is also usually typically on the slower side, so longer waits. I would definitely rank this on my lower to mid tiers.

AQUA MARINE This…read morecompact Vekoma roller coaster is astoundingly intense and is one of their best models installed in the US, thanks to its striking setting and some recent remodeling. (( fans and followers of mine will appreciate the frequent use of puns and double-entendres in my titles/headers, and this review is no exception. 'Aqua Marine' is in fact an elusive **triple** play-on-words; 'aqua' an indicator of the ride's construction over water, 'marine' an allusion to the revamped military theme tie-in, and 'aquamarine' for the overhaul in blue paint the entire ride was given. just go ahead and give me the Pulitzer in Creative Writing now. )) A top speed of 52mph sends the trains through a quintet of inversions - a highly unique "butterfly" element, sidewinder, and consecutive double corkscrews - across a 2,742ft course. All of this is fairly compressed into a ride time of 1 minute 20 seconds. Lines aren't terribly long, a testament to good station crews and two train operation. Coaster nerd moment: the "butterfly" element is essentially back-to-back sidewinders taken in series. The only other ride to use this is 'Goudurix' at Parc Astérix in France, so it's pretty special. It's like the "batwing" found on 'Vortex' @ Kings Island, but the train exits the element traveling in the same direction as it began. Tough to describe, and even tougher to visualize, I know. Just do a Google image search. Existing as 'Ninja' from 1992-2015, this coaster was painted red and was hated by many guests for the unpleasantly rough ride it gave. For the 2016 season, Six Flags Over Georgia made the decision to re-paint it blue, re-track parts of the coaster, replace boxy shoulder restraints with soft vest ones, and re-introduce the ride with a military theme as 'Blue Hawk'. My only criticisms about this coaster are the CRAZY sluggish chain lift hill (quite possibly the slowest in existence) and the fact that it's still kinda jarring. Although not as rough as it was when operating as 'Ninja', 'Blue Hawk' still delivers a pretty turbulent ride. The new, soft vest-style over the shoulder restraints make a *big* difference in rider comfort. .......oh, a word of caution.....do NOT attempt to extend your arms or legs outside of the car at any time. They will go bye-bye. The ride's manufacturer built the structure in such a way that beams and track come within MERE INCHES of the oncoming train. I counted at least 5 "headchopper" moments, which is a lot for a single coaster. It's apparent in any row and much like the inverted 'SLC' models built by Vekoma, this ups in the intensity factor considerably. Normally this ride would garner 4* from me, with 'Blue Hawk' it's all about location, location, location. This custom coaster is built ENTIRELY over water and 90% of the supports rest on concrete footer built atop a small lagoon. That earns it major plus points in my book and makes for some fantastic photo opportunities, the sapphire track reflecting off of the cool cobalt water. Eric S's Six Flags Over Georgia rating: 4th out of 9. Final verdict --- between the patriotic re-branding ('Murrica, f*ck yeah!), the fresh new coat of azure paint, and the tightly-packed succession of inversions, I'd have to award 4.5* for this particular roller coaster. I can't do half stars, but since I enjoyed the watery whereabouts of this one so much, I'm going to err on the side of awesomeness and go for the full 5*. Yes indeed, 'Blue Hawk' is one of the better rides at Atlanta's Six Flags and it makes for some phenomenal picture taking. It's a very Instagram-worthy ride, in my opinion. With very reasonable wait times, I highly recommend you check this out on your day at the park!

Blue Hawk is probably one of my least favorite, if not my least favorite ride in the park. The…read more"rival" would be - Georgia Scorcher. Of course, this is all my opinion. Blue Hawk was re-done from the previous "Ninja" and oh boy - did Ninja have a rep. Ninja was considered one of the shakiest coasters in the park, and even in the busiest of days, it never had a long line. You knew how busy it was if Ninja had a line. Anyways, in an effort to "rebrand" this painful ride, they repainted the tracks, re-DID the tracks to make it smoother and re-opened it as Blue Hawk. Did it actually change? Yes -- actually the ride feels significantly smoother, but the shakiness is still there. Because the restraints are pull-down, your neck or head or shoulder is bound to bump into it after the infinite amounts of loops and inversions the ride has. Mainly the reason this ride earns 2 (vs. 1) I would ONLY ride this if someone sincerely asked me to ride - I usually always skip this one and Georgia Scorcher but sometimes, it's not that bad to ride honestly. It really just... "could be better."

While I won't say that I get bored of riding these Justice League attractions, this one is no different than the ones I've ridden (and written reviews for) at Great America, St Louis, and Over Texas. Indeed, there exist *7* - that's seven - at Six Flags all over North America. I haven't yet experienced the ones in New Jersey, SoCal, or Mexico City, but I'll get to them eventually. Except for Mexico City, because kidnapping. This 'Battle for Metropolis' at Six Flags Over Georgia was new for 2017, which meant it was one of the more popular attractions at the park. Fortunately, I took advantage of the single rider line which took a 30 minute wait down to about 5 minutes. Riders are given pairs of cheap-o 3D glasses to interact with multiple movie screens during the ride. At 3 minutes and 45 seconds long, you get a decent value for the amount of time spent waiting in line. There's some mild spinning in the tracked 6-person vehicle, along with a nice erupting fire effect and a few other F/X like fog and whatnot. Same stuff I've seen in Dallas and northern Chicago, so nothing new to me. I found that my lightgun wasn't calibrated very tightly, as evidenced by my rather lousy score. Seriously, at my local area park I'm ranked in the Top 1% of all-time whereas here my (relatively abysmal) score put me in only the Top 25%. Maybe I just got screwed with a crappy blaster. Still fun, though.......and I kicked everyone else's ass in my car (though they were younger girls, so that's not a fair comparison). Ride crews were pretty friendly and timely in getting the vehicles out of the station. 'Battle for Metropolis' is great for younger kids and families; if the line doesn't stretch for more than half an hour, hop on and blast some baddies alongside Batman, Superman, and the rest of the Justice League!

Having opened on May 26, 2017, this 4D attraction is similar in style to my absolute favorite theme park game/ride - Toy Story Midway Mania at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Disney World (Florida) and Disney's California Adventure. Riders work with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Green Lantern to shoot at targets throughout the ride and save the city of Metropolis from Lex Luthor, his LexBots, the Joker, and Joker's henchmen. My group of 5 got in line around 12:30 pm on a particularly busy Sunday (Father's Day), and I believe we waited about 90 minutes for our turn. However, the ride was well worth the wait - and I appreciated that part of the line that extended outside was shaded along with mist fans to keep us cool. Each car holds 6 passengers, and I think it's easier to get a higher score if you're sitting in the front row. Be sure to "shotgun" the front row of the car while you're waiting in line with the 4 or 5 others who will be riding with you! Riders receive "Night Vision Glasses" (3D glasses), and each seat has a designated color so that you can see which "EMP Wave" is coming from your blaster. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the actual "mission" of the attraction other than trying to shoot as many things as possible with my blaster. But the chaos from everyone in the car shooting at the same time makes it hard to see which EMP wave is yours. The special effects I did notice, such as real fire and "smoke" from fog machines, were pretty cool. Overall, "JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis" gets 4 stars for being an awesome, full-sensory thrill ride. It would have been way better if each car was limited to just 2 (like Disney's Toy Story Midway Mania) or 3 riders so that each player could more easily see where his/her blaster is shooting. Nevertheless, this attraction has immediately become one of my favorites at Six Flags Over Georgia, and I highly recommend it!

Boooo!!! Whatever, I rode Twisted Cyclone instead. I'm completely neutral on the steampunk theme here. The promotional sign with Pandemonium rising high above the clouds made me laugh though. Six Flags is known for fibbing about the grandiosity of their rides but the artistic license there just hit my funny bone in how it wasn't even trying to be taken literally... at least I hope not.

They're easily found at state and county fairs and the like, though, so if you're looking to maximize your stay at a big time amusement park, Joker here is easily skipped if there's much of a wait. (No offense, Mr. Fleck! Please don't kill me.) JCC was a walk-on early in the day during my visit to this Six Flags so I gave it a spin. It seemed like our ride op was ending our ride very early, which was peculiar to me, as there was barely anyone waiting. But then she gave us some more juice, and we got a nice long spin cycle. I'm used to this tactic on the Himalya, where the ride op makes the passengers cheer for another boost of speed, and then away we go around and around. But only silence accompanied the false stop here. Must have been one of the Joker's mind games.
