The latest from the park is that the coaster will open up on July 4th. Last week they posted some great shots of the trains, and I still love them. From one of our previous posts I said I loved everything about them, but they looked like they might be uncomfortable. I feel the same about them now, but it’s amazing how close the “concept art” and the actual cars came out to be.
 

Yesterday, at about 2pm, a boy was decapitated by Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Over Georgia. He and a friend had left the park for lunch, and instead of going back through the main gate hopped over a perimeter fence, and then another fence into the ride area. When he tried to grab riders feet on one of the low points of the ride, his head was removed by the training, which was travelling at around 40mph.

What do you think of the new site?

Took me a little bit, but I finally got the Fahrenheit footage together and made this video. I’ll put up a better resolution, but not much better, for download on the site sometime soon. Hope you enjoy it and sorry for the terrible music transitions. Off site link.
