I'm normally not a big fan of Batman and maybe it was due to the many months since I had last been on any coaster but Batman really rocked!



There was plenty of thrills in the back seat and it was smooth as silk.  It wasn't just me saying that something was different because everyone else was saying the same thing.



Sadly the Mindbender wasn't ready for us that day.  As you can see it has a new paint scheme and is having extensive maintenance being done on it.



Here's the wheel assemblies for Mindbender.  For 2005 Mindbender has a new train acquired from one of Six Flags California properties meaning that it's either from Zonga or Greezed Lightning.  In addition to that the trains are being rebuilt from the ground up and a bunch of work is going into the the entire ride to put it back into what we were told is "brand new" condition.  Later in the day the manager of Six Flags Over Georgia said that one of her goals was to ensure that the Mindbender stays at the park forever so I can deal with not riding it this visit as long as it keeps thrilling people way into the future.



Here's Andi taking a spin on the best carousel in the Six Flags chain;  The Riverview Carousel.
