Mindbender runs only two trains
now but with all of it's block brakes and this long brake run I believe
that it opened with a third train.
Another ride that you used to see
at many parks back in the 1980's is the Free Fall. Check out the
logo for it, doesn't it look like the logo for Pac-Man or another classic
80's video game?
Again these rides have fallen
out of favor for newer drop rides but there's so much more anticipation
built up on Free Fall than on rides like Acrophobia.
I mean you're slowly hauled
up the elevator shaft with clangs and knocks all around you from the
ride. Once reaching the top there's the slow move out to the drop
track where you wait for a few seconds waiting for the drop to come
when out of the blue suddenly you're plummeting ten stories and ending
up on your back. I'd take this any day over a taller drop ride.
Fearman's Manner is a off shoot of
the annual Fright Fest that is now open at Six Flags Over Georgia all
year long. It's an additional charge haunted house. The
additional charge is why I'm not going to go check it out...there's
plenty to do that I don't have to pay extra for at Six Flags Over Georgia.
