Rivers outside of Six Flags Over Georgia have risen and have flooded Six Flags over Georgia in Austell, Georgia Monday. Half the park remains underwater and plans on opening Saturday, a week before the Fright Fest season starts.
Great American Scream Machine remains under water after Monday’s flood. If this part of the park is still under water, it will remain blocked off on Saturdays opening.
Batman remains towering over the water, but won’t open from the queue still being under water. The parking lot also pictured above has been flooded. But luckily, Six Flags Over Georgia has one more parking lot on the other side of the park. Note: The parking lot lights only stand over the water.
UPDATE: A birds eye video of the park can now be found on YouTube:

Cedar Point‘s popular Halloween Event, HalloWeekends is celebrating its 13th year of horrors. This year will bring in two new haunted houses, new shows, and lots of thrills, chills, and spills. Cedar Point recently uploaded a terrific comercial for its HalloWeekends event. It is dubbed as the Overlord hyping up all the monsters and several guests running trying to escape these monsters. While not all the footage is exactly in the greatest park, it is still good.

After what many people thought were extremely far off, crazy rumors pointing to the removal of Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom’s star coaster, Chang, it seems as if its actually real. Local news station WLKY has reported that removal of the B&M Stand-Up coaster will begin Monday. In return for losing their flagship attraction, the park gets a water park expansion… yes, you read right, a water park expansion. Unfortunately it seems as if we may have another Geauga Lake story on our hands.
The news source says that Chang will be moved to another park, which I assume means it isn’t being sold, but instead being moved within the Six Flags chain.
If I was in charge of making the decision of where to move this ride, It would definitely be headed to Six Flags America, a park that hasn’t seen a new coaster in a very long time, not to mention the park’s are pretty close together, which allows for much cheaper shipping costs, and in Six Flags financial position, they need to save money where ever they can.
Mythbusters has added a great quiz to their website to test how well you know the theme park myths. Most of the questions are pretty obvious, but there are a few that I really had trouble with.
Take the quiz and post how you did in the comments!
La Ronde, a Six Flags owned park in Canada, has a fairly nice collection of coasters. Their coaster collection includes everything from a B&M Hyper, to a Batman clone, as well as a Vekoma Boomerang. However there is one unwelcomed addition that appears to be entering the park this year. From Six Flags Astroworld which closed in 2006, what has...
Freestyle Music Park isn’t really known for its coaster collection, but the 5 it does have all very solid attractions that everyone seems to really love. Here’s a video run-down of these coasters:

For about 2 years now, Vekoma has been marketing their Big Air coaster. Essientally it is a massive half pipe and the cars rotate so you can drop backwards or forwards. The ride is being built in a new park, under construction in Tawian. E-DA World, the name of the theme park, seems to focus heavily on architecture which is...
