Welp lol. Good addition though, I'd imagine more Six Flags parks will get the in the future if it works out well

I was rooting for the launched Raptor.

Even with the spinning cars, it still looks subpar to the Mack version? And hooray, single train!

Golden Horse Lichtenstein strikes again.
The Mack versions good fun so I imagine the intamin knock off will be fine too. Fairly decent mid level ride for the park

Little info nugget relating to the lack of a name, it was announced that the name will be decided by the general public. So yea

I look forwards to hearing reviews of Splashy McSplashface next year.

At least we have a chance for it not getting named after some DC character?

Why the tears, yes a hot racer would be better, but this is what Over Georgia needs to bring in crowds! We are finally getting a launched coaster, and combined with going it being a spinning shuttle coaster with water effects for a hot, humid day in the south, this will be a hit! It's not too thrilling to scare families because it has no inversions and it's easy to see the entire ride, yet enthusiasts, teens, and adults will love it. Also don't underestimate how big the water will be, cooling off people however also being a more thrilling ride than Powersplashes.

This is not a water coaster, this is an extended halfpipe coaster with external water effects like Manta or Shambhala. I would be incredibly surprised if riders get wet at all.

I know that, which is why I said that it will be better than a power splash because there is no water to slow the train down. However six flags will probably spray a lot of water, as I see this as their cloneable water ride and coaster they were hoping to get when they bought Aquaman for Over Texas.

I don't really see the draw to this over a power splash. I guess maintenance wise it will appeal to the park more but rider appeal wise the Mack model nails the combining a launched coaster with that great anticipation of a drop into the splash zone and the inevitable soaking. (Like a good log flume drop). Possibly getting sprayed with a water fountain while on an elongated half pipe won't be a patch on that feeling.
If anything it feels Intamin looked at the Power Splash and while trying to differentiate their (quite obviously ripped off) product they removed the best bit about the original.

Intamin also already have a Power Splash rip-off - https://www.intamin.com/product/ultra-splash/
This is just another model, a modernised half-pipe.

That's what I was expecting SFOG to get. Pretty surprised that they choose a half pipe.

The draw? Well first of all this ride is much more interesting to market for the GP, because this has spinning cars compared to a regular water version, and also this one is longer, higher capacity, possibly cheape since it's not mack, and hopefully more.reliable since it doesn't use the water mechanism
