looks to be themed well (for a six flags park!) from some of the pictures. by the way, this picture makes an excellent 600x800 wallpaper:

do the right click, and save it to your computer and set it as wallpaper, or just click on set as wallpaper, easy!
Yes, it does have an on ride photo. The Six Flags guys are going to get out there today and move the camera so it points at the right spot. Right now the camera is just looking off into space, It will be pointed at the Pretzel loop as you exit the element. So it will take the picture as your flying back up outta tha Pretzel loop.
Plus, this ride is absolutely amazing. Its been a while since I've been blown away by a coaster. This one did it. I rode 20 times, and every time was better than the one before. My favorite seat is the back seat. As the paint wore off during the day, the ride got faster, and faster, and faster. This thing is going to be really fast once all the paint wears off.
While at SUF media day I asked an old friend from B&M which flyer he prefered...he said SUF. He also said Alton asked for the family version of the ride, and that's what they got.
Regarding SUF, the pretzel is absolutely stunning. I cannot believe B&M made it! If you ride this first thing in the day, it will definitely be slower....it took a few hours for it to warm up, but it certainly warmed up!
I think they entire ride is good, but wish the ending had more zip. I think with time, the bearings will break in and paint will wear, so it should pick up some speed at the end...the roll is a little awkward (but really cool) at slow speeds, wonder what it'd be like fast.
Also, the "tunnel" should have mist in it at some point.
I can't wait to see everything grown in on the hillsides soon! With grass it should look much nicer.
Glad to have such a great coaster so close!

Alton had no choice but to go for a slighty less intense experience, Their Height Restrictions dont help for a start which means they cant buid high, so they had to make do with what they could manage.
Personally, I am still happy with AIR, and I think its a fabulous Coaster, It doesnt need to be tall, and intense, I think its perfect all the way through, Its definatly a coaster that is starting to grow on me the more times I ride it.
SUF does look awesome though, the Pretzel Loop just looks insane. Hopefully I can get around to visiting Georgia some day :)
For those intersted I have posted my SUF Media day photos. Check them out if you like.
