Ninja was different this year with the addition of an Arrow Dynamics designed
train from the now defunct Great American Scream Machine that used
to be at Six Flags Great Adventure. Ninja is a Vekoma coaster but
Vekoma licensed the track and train designs from Arrow so it was easy to
switch out the trains. Supposedly the Arrow trains would make the
ride smoother but honestly I couldn't tell any difference.
A must visit for me at Six Flags Over Georgia is the Riverview Carousel.
Not only is it one of the most gorgeous and well cared for carousels out
there but my family has been riding this for generations.
In 1908 this carousel opened up at Riverview Park in Chicago where my great
grandparents rode it, then my grandparents and my parents. I rode
it at Six Flags Over Georgia and so has Bond. So far we have had five
generations take this carousel for a spin. What's great is someday
my grandchildren will get to ride it and so on.
