USA 24: Frustrating Day At Six Flags Over Georgia

I’d heard that Over Georgia was one of the nicer Six Flags parks, perhaps aesthetically wise it is. However my day here was full of frustration and closed coasters.

After entering the park we were greeted by our first closed coaster.

I didn’t just miss out on a cred, I missed out on a coaster I actually wanted to ride!

We decided to tick off Georgia Scorcher (653), the B&M stand up.

Round the corner we found these two strange coasters. Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster (654&655)

These were certainly different and good fun!

A classic was next!

Riddler Mindbender (656) was excellent! Decent air time and smooth as glass!

What wasn’t excellent was this:

My quest to ride off the B&M Inverts takes a hit. Closed all day.

We walked round to the other side of the park, where all of the coasters were closed. After a while, Great American Scream Machine opened.

A decent coaster for number 657! Not rough at all, which was nice. It was however still too much for one rider, who vomited all over the break run.

Things were now starting to look up! Blue Hawk (658) had opened! I don’t think anyone had ever been so excited about a Vekoma looper opening!

It was rough as balls.

As walked round the park we came across these:

A rumble in the background suggested another closed coaster had opened….

Superman Ultimate Flight (659)

Another amazing photo by me!

It’s always back row on these, I don’t make the rules.

We then grabbed the kiddie cred. Joker Funhouse Coaster (660):

Quickly followed by Dahlonega Mine Train (661). I don’t really have anything to say about either.

Twisted Cyclone (662) was next.

I didn’t rate it. Slow, boring and uncomfortable. One of my least favourite RMCs for sure!

That left us with just Goliath (663)!

Decent hyper coaster, I enjoyed the horseshoe element! One train has a proper rattle.

We then found one of the surprises of the trip:

What a dark ride! It was fun, it was enchanting and it was silly! Great fun and a good way to end a frustrating day!

I didn’t rate this place much. Two coasters closed never makes me happy, especially when one is an inverted coaster. Guess I’ll be back at some point though.

Thanks for reading!

Supermarket Weep - Lidl

It’s been a while, but Supermarket Weep is back! The series where myself and some ‘lucky’ guests, try supermarket own brand beer and beers brewed specifically for supermarkets. In previous episodes we all went wild in the aisles of Tesco and Aldi. Welcome to Supermarket Weep - Lidl. A piece of advice for you, don’t trust the terrible cupboard holders that these beers come in. I opted to go without a bag or a trolley and regretted that decision. The beers all fell out of the cupboard and onto the floor. I stuffed my pockets with some of the beers, which caused my shorts to fall down. A new low for me is accidentally exposing myself in a Lidl… Trolley to the rescue! Ignore than BrewDog, that was for something else! For this episode I was joined by friends of the blog, Dan and John. We kicked things off with Excelsior Lager, a French inspired beer. This was bad, like really bad. It’s a really watery beer, with a weird sweet taste. Awful. Next up was San Marti...

2024 In Review & The Beer Moose Awards!

“Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time” sang Pink Floyd in 1973. They’re sort of right, each year feels shorter than the last. In fact, it does not feel like a year since I was last writing a blog like this one. Contary to what Pink Floyd said, I found time to do quite a lot in 2024! I rode a new personal best 211 rollercoasters! 2024 will remembered as a bit of a rollercoaster (sorry). Great heights and moments balanced by a devastating loss and a rather poor Cambridge United team. This blog is aiming to be a review of my year, with some awards thrown in! Let’s get into it! January: January started with an FA Cup tie, away to Blackburn. I decided that Blackburn was sort of near Liverpool, so like all good away days we made it into a pub weekend. It was an absolute goal fest! Sadly, like most goal fests The U’s are involved with, it ended with United on the losing side. 5-2 Blackburn. Golden bird I liked Liverpool, it’s a smart and nic...

Phantasialand - My Happy Place

Using the phrase happy place makes me feel a bit cringe, but I don’t really know how else to describe how much I love Phantasialand. If I close my eyes and think about where I’d most like to be in the world Phantasialand and The Abbey come straight to mind, and I know which one I’d have more fun in at the moment! Ever since my first visit back in 2016 I’ve been in love with Phantasialand and it was time to return after a two year absence. I couldn’t wait for two full days at Phantasialand! We pick this up following Moose On The Loose In Cologne ( Link! ) in snowy Brühl, around 20km south of Cologne. The sight of Brühl Schloss greets you as you exit the train station: UNESCO tick! The next morning we made the walk from the hotel to the park, just before this walk I was convinced to join Strava! We arrived just before opening and received a golden welcome: The Berlin area Dragon Phantasialand has six dragons and now you’ve seen one of them! You may see more dragons later, but only i...
