Past Rides . . .

Know of a past ride from SFOG that isn't listed? Please let me know! Be sure to include a short description, that will go up on this page with credit to you.

Deja Vu -- removed in 2008. Deja Vu opened at SFOG on August 25th, 2001, and was a "next generation super boomerang roller coaster" at the time. Riders flew forwards AND backwards over twisting, looping inverted steel track. Strapped in sleek ski lift-style chairs suspended from the track above, Déjà Vu sends riders flying out of the station like Batman The Ride, only this time it’s backwards too! Thrill seekers plummet from 196-feet, fly head-over-heels at 65 mph over the outside of a vertical loop and a giant 110-foot high boomerang turn with nothing but the sky above their dangling feet. One time forward, one time backward--it’s Déjà Vu. This ride was, more often than not, experiencing technical difficulties and often was not running.

Free Fall -- removed in 2007. Free Fall was a first generation Intamin drop tower that recreated the sensation of falling off a ten story building. Riders sat in four-person cars that were raised quickly elevator style; the car then moved forward, paused, and dropped those ten stories without warning.

The Great Gasp -- removed in 2005. The Great Gasp was a classic ride that best represented SFOG's skyline for many years. Riders were seated, legs dangling freely, in 8 buckets that held 2-3 people each. Riders were then taken slowly up to 225 feet, and after a brief pause, the parachutes extended and riders gently fell back to earth.

The Viper -- removed in 2001. (closed on September 16th.) Viper was The Coaster That Strikes Twice. An Anton Schwarzkopf design (see also: Mind Bender) this coaster was previously called the Tidal Wave at Six Flags Great America; 1978-1995. Three warning blasts sound before the weight-driven coaster's trains are shot from the station, reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds. The trains then go through a loop and up a 175-foot incline at 70 degrees, where the train stops for a moment and the riders experience a feeling of weightlessness. Then the train goes back down the incline and through the loop again - backwards. Viper's passengers were restrained with lap bars. This coaster had a 42 inch minimum height requirement.

The Great Six Flags Air Racers -- removed in 2001 to make way for an Intamin stand-up gyro drop tower. 12 open cockpit planes took riders up 100 feet and then tilted slightly inward, spinning around the 125-foot tower in slow circles. The wind force up there was absolutely amazing. This ride had a 36" minimum height requirement.

The Highland Swing -- removed in 1999 to make way for the Promenade park entrance. Riders were seated in swing seats, legs dangling, and were then slowly lifted, where the seats tilted slightly inward, spinning around the tower in slow circles. This ride is unassembled in the employee parking lot.

The Flying Dutchman -- removed in 1997 to make way for Batman: The Ride. Similar to the Looping Starship, only the ship didn't turn upside-down; it simply rocked its riders back and forth. This ride is unassembled in the employee parking lot.

Z-Force -- removed in 1988. An Intamin Spice Diver coaster, the only one ever made. It started out at Six Flags Great America, then moved to SFOG and resided in the spot next to the Great American Scream Machine, where the Ninja is now. Finally, it was moved to Six Flags Magic Mountain, where it is still operating, only under the name "Flashback".

MoMo The Monster -- removed in ????. A large "monster" with long, writhing arms with barrells attached. Passengers rode in the bucket, and were spun and lifted through the air. This ride changed locations in the park several times before it was removed.

The Original Log Flume -- removed in ????. Back in the day, there were two log flumes residing at the park, and the original one stood where the Georgia Scorcher is now before it was removed.

Ragin' Rivers -- removed in 1998/1999. This ride was a series of water slides - two open, two enclosed - that passengers were sent tunneling down in inflatable rafts. It was removed to make way for the Georgia Scorcher.

Buford The Buzzard -- removed in ???? (1997/1998?). Buford The Buzzard was a traveling buzzard puppet in a covered wagon who delighted in making wisecracks and insulting the audience. He also handed out autographed photos. I've heard that Buford was removed from the park when Premier Parks took over.

Okeefenokee Swamp -- removed in ????. This dark ride resided where Monster Plantation is now. Instead of monsters, there were wildlife animals.

Mini Mine Train / Yahoo N'Hooler -- removed in ????. A mini steel coaster that was replaced by the Convoy trucks in Bugs Bunny World.

Exxon Modern Car Ride -- removed in ????. These were convertible style self driven cars that were found in the old USA section of the park. Just like the original Hanson, Modern cars had two tracks. They were removed to make room for the Great Gasp, and the Gasp area Games. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

The Sky Hook -- removed in ????. This huge attraction stood where FreeFall now stands. It was a large Y shaped ride that lifted an egg shaped cage to a great height to give riders a view of the park and surrounding area. As the cage was lifted the other would lower and the structure rotated. There was a recorded description of that was in view that played at the top. The Sky Hook was sold to Silver Dollar City in Pigeon Forge Tenn. It is not longer in operation. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Satellite Rides -- removed in ????. Located at the top of the hill that leads down and into Gotham City from USA section was a pair of rides called the Satellites. They were circular undulating rides. There is a similar ride in operation at Busch Gardens Tampa called the Crazy Camel. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Chevy Show -- removed in ????. Way before IMAX was popular or available in a theme park, was the Chevy show. Located in a domed building the Chevy show featured Cinema 180 which showed campy and zany movies that were meant to make the audience dizzy or motion sick. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Skylift (to Confederate Section) -- removed in ????. The current queue building for FreeFall was originally the queue house for the Modern Skylift. The old pad is still behind the building and is used for staff cookouts. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Petsville -- removed in ????. A petting zoo located in the area of the current Eattin' Time food court. It featured barnyard animals to feed, and a seal pool with underwater viewing window in back. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Great Gasp stand up chutes -- removed in ????. Then the Gasp first opened it featured 12 chutes. Four of them were stand-up chutes. After a couple of years, they were all converted to seated units. When Intiman designed a new operating system for its parachute attraction, 4 chutes were removed. Why? the new control system was larger and there was not enough room in the tower to house 12 systems. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Jean Ribaut's Adventure -- removed in ????. This was a comical boat ride along the rivers of Georgia where French explorer Jean Ribaut met his fait at the hands of some not to friendly Native Americans. Ribaut's was demolished to make way for Thunder River. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Lafayette's Shooting Gallery -- removed in ????. Located where the current Metro Arcade stands, the Lafayette's Shooting Gallery featured guns that shot B.B.s at mechanical targets. A real visual feast. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Skylift to USA Section -- removed in ????. The station and queue are now Six Flags Kids shop. The Sky bucket tower in the Crystal Pistol circle actually served both the Sky Buckets and Sky lift, with the Sky lift crossing over the cables of the Sky Buckets. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Casa Magnetica -- removed in ????. This was a gravity house where things seemed to be defying gravity due to the way the building was built. It was a walk through which later featured animated characters. The old Bullfrog review show was built in the queue area of the Casa Magnetica. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Mule-go Round -- removed in ????. This was a carousel type ride where riders rode in suspended gondolas as a mule provided the power to turn the ride. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Horror Cave -- removed in ????. Located in the current Bugs Bunny Playfort, the Horror Cave featured an entrance through a monsters mouth, bobbing creatures in a murky moat, a suspended bridge over a spider threatened man and a slide at the exit. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Playfort features now gone: (submitted by Rob McCullough)
    Sylvester Slide -- removed in ????. a large ball crawl that featured a slide mountain in the center.

    Porky Pig Play pen -- removed in ????. one time a large water filled bounce zone. The play pen is now filled with foam padding.

    Mini fort -- removed in ????. This was a separate area for children under 36". The Happy Worm is now in the alcove that once held the Mini fort.

    Net Climb -- removed in ????. There were two net climbs over the moat each ending in a long tube slide.

    Coyote Caves -- removed in ????. A series of caves and net tubes to crawl through.


Suspension Bridge -- removed in ????. The bouncing bridge from the fort to carousel hill I'm told has been removed. Although not an attraction on its own, I still loved it. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Drunken Barrel - removed in ????. A tea-cup type ride that stood where the Wheelie now sits. It not only rotated in 3 directions, it also lifted to give a falling feeling as well. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Spindle Top -- removed in ????. This ride was a round room which revolved, pinning riders to the wall ending with the floor dropping from the riders feet. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

LickSkillet Shooting Gallery -- removed in ????. There is another shooting gallery near the Bulloch's and Tatum's fudge shop now, but the first shooting gallery was between the current entrance to Thunder River and the old back gate. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

The Phlying Phlyrpus -- removed in ????. A circular ride with a large sail on the front of each bucket. By moving the sail, the rider could make their bucket swing left or right. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

The Round Up -- removed in ????. A carnival ride that was installed in Cotton States for a couple of seasons. It was never meant to be permanent, but was added to replace Mo-Mo until a permanent attraction could be found. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

The Ship Shape Theater / Graffiti's -- removed in ????. Originally located in the old Jolly Rogers section, the Ship Shape Theater was the original facility on the current laser tag lot. Ship Shape was an open air country music theater. Although never as big a draw as the Crystal Pistol, Ship Shape featured similar shows. Later, the boat theme was removed, the sides were enclosed and the building became a Teen Dance club called Graffiti's. The teen dance club closed after a few seasons and the building became a Magic theater featuring Bill Clarey. (submitted by Rob McCullough)

Elmer Fudd's Fewwis Wheel -- The word "Ferris" was spelled "Fewwis" because of the way Elmer Fudd usually talks in his cartoons -- using 'W's instead of 'R's. The ride was a very small ferris wheel located in the old Bugs Bunny Land. Not sure of what year it was removed, but it was taken down in the early 90's before the first major rennovation of the area. (submitted by Bubba Banks)

Showcase Theater -- Not many people remember this. But before the Drive-In theater, it was called the Showcase Theater. It had a huge waterfall/fountain pouring out of the front wall into a fountain below. Same theater layout inside the building, but very different on the outside. I like the Drive-In theme a lot better though. (submitted by Bubba Banks)
