With speeds approaching 70 mph, a height of over 200 feet and a size of 8.5 acres, Goliath is a giant! Opening April 1, 2006, Goliath was one of the biggest announcment in the park's history. Construction began in August, 2005 with the demolition of Looping Starship and the treasured Great Gasp, a 200 foot tall parachute drop ride that stood as an I-20 landmark for nearly 30 years. Goliath is a hyper coaster that takes riders across 4,400 feet of track on a 3.5 mintue journey outisde the park and back- it's the longest coaster in the park. It has no upside-down loops and uses "comfortable" lap restraints instead of shoulder harneses. The ride features 6 zero-gravity hills, 1 high speed banked curve, 1 double helix and 1 over-banked horseshoe. The first drop is a breathtaking 170 feet! I suggest you sit on one of the two outside seats for the greatest "thrill" and, if you can get away with it, try to make sure that your restraint is a little loose- you will get some serious zero-gravity sensations over the first couple of drops! Now, as far as rows go, the front row isn't all that great- there is so much air coming at you that it makes it a little difficult to enjoy the ride- but you might as well try it at least once (my favorite seat is on row #9- the very last row- on the seat farthest to the left). Once you get off Goliath, you walk down the very long exit ramp and get to see your on-ride photo (taken at the very end of the ride). From there you must pass through the Goliath gift shop in order to exit. This is by far the greatest coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. The Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain is nothing compared to this.

Oh, the classic 1978 Mindbender, located in the Gotham City section of the park. This ride is a triple looping coaster, although it only has 2 loops, the 3rd loop is just an overbanked turn. In 1997 it was planned to be re-named to The Riddler's Revenge to accompony the opening of Batman the ride and the re-theming of the Jolly Roger's Island section of the park into Gotham City. Although the plans to re-name the ride fell through, the ride was still re-painted into a Riddler's green theme to match Gotham City's theme (originally painted silver, then later brown). It's largest drop is 80 feet, its 3,253 feet long with a top speed of 50mph and a total ride time of 2 minutes 33 seconds. One feature I hate on this ride are the 2 loops. They really hurt as you go through them, but, that doesn't necessarily ruin the ride. It has plenty of drops even a green waterfall... well, green for most the year, other times its brown. A fun ride, just don't ride it twice in a row.

Built in 1997, this 105-foot high, 2,700 foot long, 50mph, 2 minute ride is a hanging roller coaster. Before the ride opened, the area now known as Gotham City was the Jolly Roger's Island section of the park, until it was re-themed in 1997 with the addition of Batman The Ride. This ride has 2 loops, many upside down sprials and always leaves me feeling a little nauseous after riding. This ride is in many Six Flags parks around the country and is Six Flag's flagship ride, with almost every Six Flags park having a Gotham City section. The ride exit takes you into a Batman gift shop with overpriced candy, Batman clothes and other Batman (and for some reason, Superman) themed merchandise.

This is patterned after the famous Coney Island Cyclome. With a drop of 90 feet, a top speed of 50mph, a ride length of 2,970 feet and a ride time of 1 minute 48 seconds, the Georgia Cyclome is sure to thrill. This is not a very smooth ride, so try to ride as close to the front as possible to lower your risk of back injury. It is located in the British area of the park and is the closest roller coaster to the park's entrance. It is a wooden roller coaster, the second to be built at Six Flags Over Georgia, opening in 1990.

The classic 1967 Mine Train, the first roller coaster at Six Flags over Georgia! With a maximun drop of 47 feet, top speed of 29 miles an hour and a ride time of 2 minutes 51 seconds, as you probaly guesed, this ride is aimed toward smaller guest. The best part of the ride is near the very end when you drop into a tunnel underneath Convoy Grande (former home of the Mini-Mine Train), which is where you reach the ride's top speed of 29 mph. This coaster may be a little uncomfrotable for adults, who tend to be jerked around by the ride a little more than kids because of the tight seats. Themed after a 1828 Dahlonega, Georgia gold rush, this coaster would be better suited for the Lickskillet area (built one year after the Mine Train) but instead it is in the Confederate area along with Acrophobia. This ride was refurbished in 1989, replacing wooden bracing with steel pole supports and re-profiling the final tunnel.

Built in 2004, this 900 foot long ride has a maximum height of 16 feet and a maximun speed of 30 miles per hour. This ride is a family coaster that isn't as jerky or long as the Dahlonega Mine Train. This ride is located near the entrance to the Monster Plantation in the Spanish area and is fun, just too short- they should let you go around the track at least 2 times to make up for the ride's (pathetic) length. The line for this ride however is usually long and the ride breaks down often, usually getting stuck at the last set of tires that bring the train back into the station (instead of using a lift chain, this ride uses rotating tires to bring cars up the first hill and on other points throughout the ride). Wild E. Coyote Canyon Blaster is an original ride, custom built for Six Flags Over Georgia.

The black belt of roller coasters. It was relocated from the New Jersey shore at then named Conko's Party Pier (now re-named and no longer used for amusement rides) where it was named Kamikaze. It ran there from 1989 until 1991 when it was relocated to Six Flags Over Georgia where it was re-named Ninja. It replaced Z-force that ran in the current queue house. In 2006, Ninja recieved a makeover and was fully repainted- the white supports were repainted black and the track was given a fresh coat of red paint. Ninja is situated over a lake and features a 2,743 foot long track, speeds up to 52mph, a ride time of 1 minute 20 seconds and many loops and spirals that make the Ninja a truly unique ride! Though it is hated by most people, if your ears are above the top of the shoulder harness and you are sitting in one of the first 4 rows, the ride shouldn't hurt too much. Remember, the farther you sit back in the train, the more your head will get knocked around. I would never sit more than 4 rows back... if you do, you're in for a true "knockout" experience. There is hardly ever a line for the ride (unless they are only running one train)- you'll see why after you ride.

The Six flags Over Georgia classic, The Great American Scream Machine. Built in 1973, it was the second coaster to open in the park with a drop of 87 feet, a length of 3,800 feet, a top speed of 57 mph and a ride time of 2 minutes. It has an out and back design that takes up 5 acres of space. It is located in the Cotton States Exposition section of the park, with half of the ride being over a lake, the other half above land. At the end of the ride, be ready for an abrupt stop and try to ride as close to the front as possible to avoid the jerkiness of the ride.

Superman Ultimate Flight opened in 2002 featuring a 101 foot drop, speeds of up to 60 mph and a ride time of 3 minutes. This is the south's only flying coaster. Superman replaced the Viper, which was built in 1976 at Six Flags Great America and was relocated to Six Flags Over Georgia in 1995. In 2003, it opened at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and was renamed to Greezed Lightnin'. The Viper's loading platform still remains and is now painted with clouds and is used as a huge Superman cutout holder. Superman Ultimate Flight's best feature is it's huge pretzel loop near the beginning of the ride right after the first drop where riders enter the loop from the top. Riders sit in awkward (yet funny) positions and are kept that way throughout the duration ride except when loading and unloading. The seats don't let you look up to where you are "flying" but are suprisingly comfortable. One feature I hate on the ride are the barrel rolls at the end of the ride. The ride exit leads you into a mini Superman gift shop where you can view your on-ride photo from the pretzel loop. The exit of the shop is right outside the entrance to Skull Island. Sit in the front row for a better view (you get to see where your going, not just somebody's feet) and a better ride- the ride makes you less nauseous when your sitting in the front versus any other row.

Intorduced in 1999, this 107 foot tall, 3,000 foot long, 54 mph stand up coaster replaced Ragin' Rivers (opened in 1991), a set of 4 water slides (2 enclosed, 2 open speed slides). Originally named "Jezebel", it was fortunately renamed before the ride opened. This is a unique stand-up coaster with loops, spirals and a figure 8. Be sure not to stand too low or too high when you board before the train locks, or you could be in for a very uncomfortable ride. Located near the very front of the park, in the Georgia section. Can you stand the heat?

Riders on Deja'Vu fly forwards and backwards over twisting, looping inverted steel track on this totally unique and hard to describe coaster. With a maximum of 4.5 gs, a top speed of 65 mph and a nearly 200 foot tall 90 degree drop, you will surely want to experience Deja'Vu over and over again! It opened in 2001 but for much of the time before the 2006 season, it was closed due to technical malfunctioning. Riders are first backed out of the station then lifted slowly up a 90 degree, 190 foot tower to where their bodies are facing the ground and are then suddenly dropped and sent back through the station at 65 miles an hour. They are sent through loops and spirals before reaching the second 190 foot tower. After reaching the top of the second tower, their bodies are facing the sky. You are then dropped and sent backward through loops and spirals until you travel back through the station and up the first tower for the second time, this time only half way. You then slowly go back into the station where you are unloaded. You've just experienced Deja'Vu. Try to get an outside seat in row B, either in the very front of the train or the very back. Avoid sitting in row A because you can't see where your going and have less room than in row B. Unfortunately since there is no reserve seating and a ride attendant tells you where to sit, you can't choose where your going to sit. Deja'Vu was in the
Lickskillet area of the park and went right along with the western theming. Without notice at the end of the 2007 season Deja'Vu was removed to make way for Thomas Town.
