Very curious to hear about Over Georgia. I'm strongly considering getting a Fun Spot season pass for my upcoming Orlando trip since my hotel is within walking distance of the Orlando location and it'd be nice to do a couple night caps there. I've only ever ridden White Lightning right when it first opened for the day and I was the only one on it, so suffice to say I didn't experience it at its peak performance. With a Fun Spot pass, it'd also make the potential for an Atlanta trip a lot more likely since it'd give incentive to make a weekend trip down there for Air Force One, but SFOG would for sure be the "Hub" park of said trip.

That does sound like a good idea - especially since there are two Fun Spots in Fl right?
I think @D Hulk went to those on his trip

I've hit both up before. I think Orlando is the nicer of the two parks, but I like Mine Blower at the Kissimmee location better than White Lightning. Like I said though, I rode White Lightning at about the lowest performance level I possibly could have and generally speaking the Fun Spot parks are more veered towards a late night crowd. I'd likely hit the Orlando park a couple times during my off days which would be Volcano Bay and my Busch Gardens Tampa day which will likely have to be cut short due to the shuttle schedule. I'm not planning on going into Kissimmee at all. It will be kind of weird to fly to Florida and not go to Disney at all, but my goal for this trip is mostly to soak in the Universal parks as much as I can, especially since I love how self contained their resort set up is compared to Disney.
SIX FLAGS OVER GEORGIA
Woah....
This was quite the wakeup call. I seriously stepped into new coaster territory with pretty good results. Crowd level in general was almost non-existant, which allowed me a ride on all but one coaster in the park plus some flats. Every coaster was a walk-on and I got some front and back row action on Goliath, Scream Machine, and Scorcher. I did have some trouble with Superman that I'll explain after the rankings. Overall, it was a really good start to the trip.
RANKINGS:
1. Twisted Cyclone
2. Goliath
3. Scream Machine
4. Dahlonega Mine Train
5. Blue Hawk
6. Mindbender
7. Batman
8. Superman: Ultimate Flight
The only coaster I couldn't handle was Superman. The pretzel loop especially really messed with me and I felt off the rest of the day. In addition, I was burping all day, the travel day, and now at Dollywood (I'm heading over there right now). Anybody have a fix for this? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Now, time to rope-drop lightning rod!!!

You have crossed the rubicon, and found yourself up to the task! Congrats! Have a fantastic time at Dollywood.
Your rankings reveal that your body prefers negative-G airtime. RMCs and vintage woodies, the rides I also prefer! After Twisted Cyclone, you’re in good shape to enjoy Lightning Rod and Steel Vengeance. Batman and Superman are both all about the positive G-forces, so now we know what you dislike. Pennsylvania and Ohio coming up don’t have many high G machines, except for the B&M inverts like Banshee and Raptor, so you should be OK going forward.
Sounds like Superman upset your stomach. Until that resolves, avoid unfamiliar or spicy foods and avoid sugar. Eat what you’re comfortable with. This could be a sign of dehydration as well, so please drink lots of water. Otherwise, there’s no shame in taking motion sickness meds if you think more coasters will make you feel worse.
Continue to have a great, eye-opening trip!
Always looking forward to more updates.

Great list!
I would think the burping might be able to be resolved by making sure you drink water vs a soft drink.
And if you didn't drink any soft drinks (sodas, etc) then you probably didn't drink enough of anything to keep your stomach settled.
Enjoy Dollywood!

Good for you! That was quite the opposite for me when I was there. But Dollywood was pretty light for me (as it should be for you). There are plenty of thrills at Dollywood, so enjoy! Parks like Dollywood and Silver Dollar City are great, family-friendly parks!
Successfully rode Lightning Rod.
HOLY COW THATS AWESOME!!! I 100% understand the hype for it. It's sooooo good.

Launched up the lift hill, accelerating as you go down the hill…yeah!
Yep. Relentless as heck, and it gets faster as you go.
Going to craft a good ranking tonight with opinions.
Got a bit busy with family. Dollywood review coming later than expected.
It's Kings Island time......

So far I've experienced both sides of the Lagoon crowds. I made it to the park Sunday around 6PM as planned and it was completely dead. Walk ons for everything except TerroRide (which seems to be the Peter Pan of the park as far as crowds go) I was able to crack out the three credits I needed to get to #100 in like 15 minutes when I thought I'd be lucky if I did it at all. Cannibal was indeed my 100th credit!
Yesterday was PACKED for the federal holiday, so I experienced the infamous overflowing walkways. It's bad for sure, but I give major props to the literal kids running the rides because operations here are super on point. The problem isn't how long the line takes, but the inevitable bottlenecks at the back of the line and just rampant abuse of large parties sneaking into the lines at the last minute with one person holding the spot.
Here's the thing...yesterday I discovered just how robust this park is thanks to Pioneer Village and Lagoon A Beach. Pioneer Village is just...chefs kiss. Legitimately a better experience than the Knotts Ghost Town in my mind. I love how far back into the park it is and you can get totally lost with how many cool little mini museums there are. The detail is just staggering here. Not to mention the park's two water rides are integrated into the land flawlessly. If you find yourself in Lagoon, do NOT sleep on this. I spent three solid hours just aimlessly wandering around, and I'll happily spend more time there today.
Lagoon A Beach is nothing mind blowing, but it's far and away the best free Waterpark inside of a larger park I've experienced and was a total godsend for escaping the hordes on the midway. All the slides were walk on, so it was actually one of the best water park trips I've ever had. I love how its right in the middle of Lagoon and yet doesn't intrude on the rest of the park layout at all. Very worthy supporting player within the larger park.
The crowds thinned out in the last hour or so and I was able to do a mini marathon on Colossus to round out the night.
Today my goals are to hopefully marathon Cannibal depending on crowd levels, do the two dark rides as much as I can, and get on some of the more unique flat rides I haven't hit yet. Praying for low crowds, but with Pioneer Village at least I know I won't be lacking in things to do if it does get slammed.

Indeed. From what I hear they’ve been cracking down on that more in recent years, but it’s still a pretty big problem.
OK. Orion is INSANE. Instant favorite for me.
I've done every coaster now except Invertigo (I think that's what it's called?). Excellent lineup of rides here. Beast was awesome and surprisingly smooth thanks to the retrack.
Crowds are at comfortably low levels and everything hasn't been a major wait except flight of fear, which was a ridiculous 45 minutes. That thing has horrible dispatch speed.

Seems like B&M hypers/gigas are your speed - they're mine too, with Orion and Fury 325 being at the top of the must-do list!

I'll be able to compare notes with you on Monday. Good tip about Flight of Fear. I'm going to go there and Orion first thing so that I have a chance to do them a second time.
My first trip, though, will be a place called Cedar Point on Friday. It will be my second time there, but the first time I didn't get to ride any of the major coasters. Oh and be prepared for a surprise when I review it.
