Did you know that the Great American Scream Machine operated with two trains comprised of four cars with three benches until the 2018 season when the the trains were replaced with those from the Georgia Cyclone when it was converted to the Twister Cyclone?
Six Flags Over Georgia is located near Atlanta in Austell, Georgia.

I never will understand the hate for this ride. I rode it before and after the retrack and I always enjoyed it a lot!

@Cat3465 7 ай бұрын

The hate was due to it being extremely rough. It used the old Georgia Cyclone trains, which caused the extreme roughness

I rode it in 1973, when it was brand new! It was scary back then. I was 11 years old. It was rough to me. I rode it again back in 2000. When the coaster was much older, and I was 39. After riding it, my back hurt for days!!! I can tell you that coaster had gotten rougher over the years! I’m very serious. I hope that it’s smoother now.

this was my favorite ride as a kid, when i was too scared to ride anything else. i couldn't ride it as much as i had wanted to because i couldn't ride without a parent, and the scream machine is infamous for messing up your back once you reach a certain age. the first time i rode it i was so scared that i couldn't scream at all. i let out a little noise at the scariest part and from then on the scream machine became the only thing i wanted to ride. i haven't been back to six flags since, but i would love to pay the scream machine another visit.

Gonna be honest here…my fav ride in the world and I’m 44 and rode it as soon as I was big enough…used to have season passes every year….rode it a million times…and I rode it yesterday …I saw no difference except the brakes. To me it was the same as always and just as good and I actually forgot just how good it is…even though I knew it’s my fav coaster. I just didn’t see a difference but at the same time…I didn’t want it different. I’m sure I missed a small detail like maybe I came out of my seat more back in the day….but either way…it felt just as rough but I love it that way. Goliath for instance is a good one…but too damn smooth.

I remember riding TGASM when it was brand new, I think it "invented" the riders holding their arms UP the entire ride. The last time I rode was probably 20 years or so ago and it was a rougher and slower ride due to the worn (?) "square" wheels on it. Still is a classic coaster Oh and I see that the "back up" wooden control levers have been removed

Just came from there yesterday, I noticed no such difference lol. It still beats you up and is still pretty rough. Don't know where this talk of a re track came from but if it is true it didn't do much. The most noticeable difference is a slower brake at the end compared to the old fast stop. But even yesterday when I went it's not as smooth in the video. Instead, you get like 90% of a break then a slow train move to the station around the corner where you finish breaking.

Wow, in all my years as a Kid we had Season Passes... This was one of my favorite rides.... But as the years went by Six Flags became so crowded it was no longer fun. Used to wait an hour to ride this coaster... Last time I went was 2002 and it was miserable, all day just a few rides... When you gotta wait over an Hour for the Monster Plantation (Mansion now) it was not fun. How was it that no one was in line as your train came into the station? What? I never saw that in all my years.... It would be worth the price of admission to have that experience! Have not been since 2003 but still think this is one of the best Wooden Coasters I have ever been on! I like the rougher side to wooden coasters! But I'm a Wooden Coaster Enthusiast!

This is such a pretty coaster and I really wanted to like it. Sadly, I found it rough and "Rampy" The airtime hills were devoid of airtime. Hopefully the re-track has fixed the roughness and will also help with the speed. It seemed to drag through the course.

@truelife974 3 ай бұрын

When they put the trains from the Georgia Cyclone on this ride it was the end of the airtime. The original trains had the lap bars that allowed you to float out of your seat.

PUT YOUR HANDS ON THR YELLOW/ORANGE LAP BAR AND FORCE YOURSELF INTO THE BACK OF YOUR SEAT WHEN GOING OVER THE LAST HILL AND YOU WILL FEEL LITTLE TO NO EFFECTS OF BREAKS :) Underrated ride :)

It's the trains. They aren't the native trains to the coaster. The trains on there now are from the old Georgia Cyclone which required the tighter fitting lap bars. The old trains had a lap bar that did actually come down on your legs and allowed you to float out of your seat.

I despise rides such as these. They don’t scare me. They’re either boring or make me sick. No inbetween. Seeing this POV video I was expecting to see or feel…..something….anything…anything at all. And…..people wait in line in summer heat after paying exorbitant amounts of money for tickets and food and drink…in line for an hour or more….and it’s three minutes long?!?!?!???!?!?? Hahahaha! Wow!
