Six Flags Over Georgia...Well, mostly just Hurricane Harbor

Uh.... that time I went to Six Flags Over Georgia and the only coaster I rode was Ninja?
Super busy random week day... that ended up being some stupid "bring a friend free" day for pass holders... The park was pretty slammed due to that so lines were massive all around and many things were skipped just out of lack of wanting to wait (also, the fact I've already visited the park twice this year and a good 20 other times over the past decade or so...) Over our day the only rides Deka and I even rode were Acrophobia, The Joker, Sky Screamer, and Ninja. Yeah..... thrilling.

The only 'new' ride for me was the recently opened Larson built park model Ring of Fire. Six Flags had built four of them at their parks for 2015 additions... this was my third time coming upon one this summer.. and also the first I attempted to ride.

(The one at Cliff's was broken and the one at Elitch was down and once opened had a massive queue, also, later this summer I ended up at Great Adventure and found their Ring of Fire... broken.)
I was also extremely amused that two of the four parks to receive the Ring's had in just the past 10 years or so removed their massive Intamin built Looping Starships, a ride with 3 times the capacity and same general ride motion and experience.... And that a third park to get one.... still has an extremely similar ride.... that's also inverted!
So uh, yeah....

Uh... The Joker Chaos Coaster
(not a coaster)

Six Flags opened four of these in parks across the country this summer.. and tried to pass them off as Roller Coasters.....
(not a coaster)

Although anyone who has been to a State Fair or County Fair would likely have seen one in passing... The parks got a pretty good share of backlash over the overstatement but its not like they even care, people will come regardless and odds are, will wait in ungodly lines for these things.
(not a coaster)

We ended up waiting a good 45 minutes for a ride that at a fair would only have 4 or 5 riders on it... Also the fact the park has Flashpass as an option for the ride that only holds 24 people a cycle meant maybe 18 people in the queue were loaded each time, with dispatches reaching EIGHT minutes.
(Completely unacceptable) 
(not a coaster)

Luckily, we ended up getting one of the ends, not having to squish into a middle car and look into the faces of complete strangers.....
(not a coaster)

Woo, and around we go... after 4 or 5 trips around with a quick inverted stop, the ride ends...
(not a coaster)

And people disembark realizing the time they've wasted for a sub-par carnival ride
(not a coaster)

The ride is also somewhat awkwardly placed in front of the old Batman Stunt Show Arena.
(not a coaster)

And one last time as I roll my eyes....It's not a coaster...
(not a coaster)
Also new this year in the parks Gotham City section....

Harley Quinn Spinsanity

A classic Tilt-A-Whirl flat ride.

It looked rather nice... but had a surprisingly long wait for it. So it was skipped in favor of riding Sky Screamer.
I was also kinda amused how Six Flags installed a ride at Over Georgia that as a company had been ripping them out of its other parks because the CEO felt they were cheap.
(Magic Mountain, America....)
So after some general annoyances (we were having a Six Flags day) we made our way to the far back of the park to go for a swim... and stuff.

Ah.... the reason we came to Six Flags today, Hurricane Harbor.

Whats this? Theming?.... at Six Flags?!
Who knew...

This amused me
(although I've seen a Florida version that used a coconut)

<3 yeesss!
Why didn't they sell this on a shirt or something!

Paradise Island opened almost 10 years before the rest of Hurricane Harbor did, in 2014.
It was named Skull Island when opened in 2005.

Slides... and stuff.

Bonzai Pipelines is home to 3 of the parks 4 major slides.

It features 2 standard tubing slides and a ProSlide CannonBOWL 30 model. But we were being lazy and didn't wanna wait in lines for any of the slides.

'I'm having fun!'

The 38,000 square foot Calypso Bay Wave Pool

Every hour or so they would clear the wave pool and have the lifeguards do some sort of...check.
Uh

And lastly, the parks standout attraction, Tsunami Surge.

The slide starts off with a large bowl, taken rather slow due to the lack of any real drop before entering it....

After one trip around the bowl, you drop down into Tornado Wave feature.

And... the Tornado Wave itself, this was my second time encountering one.
(Having ridden the first to open in the US back in 2012, ha)

Annddd... one last over view of the entire Tsunami Surge slide.

So yeah... Overall, Hurricane Harbor is a nice little water park. I was pretty shocked Six Flags didn't expand it this summer and opted to add a flat ride (not a coaster). If they just added a lazy river and a second slide tower with 2 or 3 more slides the place would be a worthwhile stop during a visit to the park... But for now I guess I'll stick with Goliath, Mind Bender, and Acrophobia and I'll head over to White Water for my slide action.
