The mine train was sooo crazy, I loved it in 1968!
I remember the gift bag! Oh my gosh! Thanks for the memories!
Cool stuff, I have not been in years, but would go every year or so when I was younger
LOVE!!! Thank You...so many memories...
Enjoyed your postcards and narration. I remember the park from 1972 vividly. Great memories. The haunted cave freaked me out. Would love to see a pic of it again.
I can still remember things about that place - the tongue on the opening. The dropping bridge "it will all be over in a moment" , the slide at the end. I think if I was to see it today it would all seem kind of cheesy but it sure was neat then!
That tongue told me real quick that Mom and Dad wasn't taking me in to a kiddie ride. :-)
I'm two years late here, but here's something you fellas might enjoy: th-cam.com/video/OkXXub-hNek/w-d-xo.html
The original 1968 Horror Cave entrance music, recorded by an employee at some point in the seventies.
Very nice to see this! I was pretty young but I remember riding Jean Ribault's River Adventure. They would simulate shots or cannonballs hitting the river water out in front of the boat using some sort of small "blast" in the water. Also as the men & indians were battling there was an indian figure and sound effects so he "fell" backward after getting shot. It was fun.
Also I remember the Casa Loco & later the Horror Cave. The mini mine train was boring but the Dahlonega mine train was more fun. My mother said that the old log flume ride used to have a laughter track when you reached the top before you go down the steep slope & splash at the bottom.
Unfortunately some of the surrounding areas where the old hotels were don't look so nice anymore.
What exactly was Casa Loco?
@@carterdunlap9957 Hi, it was basically a house you'd walk through with sloping walls/floors etc that made it seem to defy gravity. They also had things like a tap faucet with no pipe attached floating in the air, pouring out water, and chickens popping out eggs that appeared to roll upwards instead of down. Kind of like a unique little fun house. I think they had a small show you could watch in one room.
There's some old pics out on the internet.
That was exactly how Six Flags was when i went there for the very first time. Tickets was $5.50 for kids $6:50 for adults 1970 or 71
Thank You so much! I was wondering what the name of the river boat ride. Jean Ribauds French river boat ride. Love it!
Thank you so much for this video. An annual visit to the park for my family started in 1969. I, too, loved the river adventure of Jean Ribault. Even the queue was fun for me for that ride. I remember it as a dark covered shed of sorts, a nice shade from the summers' heat, with interesting timber beneath the roof. Every bend of the river had sights, and I always turned looking to the left and right of the boat to spot the animal and human animatronic features. It was always a thrill.
I would love for someone to comment on the Spanish fortress. My folks did not like or allow any haunted/spooky stuff around us, and I was given to understand that some scare show was featured inside that marvelous structure. My father did allow to shoot the cannon/BB guns from the parapet into the moat, however. That was great fun.
As for the Dahlonega Mine Train, it was to blame for my shortest visit ever to the park. I was too young to ride it, but it was a favorite of my father. It was in the first 30 minutes at the park that my mother and grandparents waited outside for him to ride that coaster. When he came out of the exit something was wrong. A kidney stone had been shifted during the fine jostling that ride provides. Naught but boring hospital for the rest of the weekend.
So, you want to know about Horror Cave? Well, not many people’s memories are nice. It was Terror Immaculate
You have any of former river boat ride where thunder river is now or tales from the okefenokee ride
I have not found anything of that. I was hoping somebody would have a film of it. Wish my family had filmed it.
I know we took the 8mm camera to Six Flags because my mom filmed us getting on Mo-Mo the Monster. Not riding it, just getting on it.
There are some short clips out there about the Tales From The OkeeFenokee ride if you search. I found them when looking for old memory reminders. :)
cool memories
Mardigrasman23 It is like watching your kid grow up. Well, not really. But I have seen that place change a lot in my lifetime. That riverboat right is special to me because that is where I found out my cousin's name was "Carl" and not "Possum"
it was cool but they forgot about about the sky hook and the satelite rides and the wheel burrow that big double skydiver
Nice. Too bad that “theme” has been removed from the park and the Batman crap has taken over.
Aww I like Gotham city, and I still feel that they have themes in different areas
Not sure if you were in rides but do you remember doing foreman follies at the Crystal Pistol? :)
+abigllama I remember that. I was not in rides though
Hi Joseph. We have a Six Flags over Georgia history page on Facebook. Six Flags over Georgia History. On that page we cover the history of the park via photos and there is some footage that I have posted which has some converted 8mm footage of the river boat ride, no sound obviously, but there is video. Check us out if you would like, and I hope to see you there.
On the card with the flags I recognise the American flag but what are the other five?
I guessed one might be the state flag of Georgia and a quick google confirmed it. Then further research on Wikipedia shows the others represent Spain, France, Great Britain and the Confederate States of America. Looks like I just answered my own question.
Barry Francis yes,. we had the same theme park designers in Australia, the same thing happened in 1960's Australia, theme parks did the same theme. river cruise, and live action , flume ride and rollercoasters,. the flags are similar to regional Australia as well, we use , federal flag , state flag , state flower as a flag, English flag as our historic invaders. French would have had Australia but they liked the tropical islands of Pacific. in 1770's
Barry Francis They had different themed sections in the park - but it is indeed Georgia, USA, France, Spain, Great Britain, and Confederate. It is funny because the French section became harder to discern over the years. But to this day I still call the steep hill in front of the Monster Mansion, French Hill. After the riverboat ride was done away there was very little else French about that section
1956 GA, Confederate 1st National, British, French and Spanish
