Six Flags Over Georgia | Georgia Surfer | Intamin Ultra Surf | 2025

Seen it yesterday - pics on my phone but they're too large to upload and no clue how to make them smaller without my laptop.

Luckily they haven't added a year on their "New for summer" signs...
 
But they have to put the station in, the active components, the water pumps and filtration - and then comes the train. I guess 2-3 months until everything is in place to start testing. And then I already see the sign "Due to late parts from Europe..."

Most likely yes, but there isn't much track so most of it is ground level work.

They still have the "opening in summer" facades up, and there was a lot of workers on site. If it's not open in August I could see them delaying it to next year.
 
I mean, at this point they only have *six* weeks left of daily operations for the 2024 season, while August might scream summer for most, in the south, a lot of schools go back into session. So yeah, in six weeks, the park goes to weekend only operations and the ride basically missed its season. getting it open for random weekends doesn't really cut it when people expect your new ride to be like.... open.
OG is my local SF park but is not really local but it makes me mad knowing this park can actually be good and is just....not (anymore)
 
Sorry if this has been asked before, but what exactly is going on with this? Why the delays?
 
Some words from CoasterFest about Georgia Surfer and its delays;
  • Permitting took about 12 weeks longer than anticipated
  • Project is costing them $13 million, even without the bulk of the manufacturing bills
  • Train literally just shipped as of August 14, is on the water right now
  • Delays have also been attributed to it being a prototype
  • Extra time means that post-merger Six Flags leadership is bringing on their frequent theming collaborator (Adena Corporation) to do additional work on the coaster.
  • Current intention is to have it ready for opening day in March 2025

The other big bone here was that Goliath will be receiving a full repaint beginning this Fall, based on an internal survey and recommendation from new Six Flags leadership. Sooo yeah, anyone have thoughts on this?
