WooferBearATL Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, the Monster Plantation is to become Monster Mansion: http://www.sixflags.com/overGeorgia/rides/...terMansion.aspx Sigh....... Where to begin. Well it's good that they're keeping the concept and characters, but why on Earth would they change the name from Plantation to Mansion? This is what happens when ya let Yankees make decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, that and when you have a guy from Disney running the company nowadays. I know someone who just found out today he won't be at Kings Island closing weekend. Some things are just too important and need to be said goodbye to.

The Interpreter Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 AUSTELL - "It was awesome!" exclaimed Justin Osofisan, a third-grade student at Mount Paran Christian School, after he rode Six Flags' Monster Mansion. The third-grade chorus from Mount Paran Christian School in Marietta was part of a group of about 100 people who got a sneak peek at Six Flags' Monster Mansion, formerly known as Monster Plantation, on Thursday afternoon. The chorus serenaded the group with the ride's infectious theme song before people climbed aboard the six-person boats to travel through the monster family picnic. The newly "re-furred" Monster Mansion reopens to the public on Saturday. "Reopening Monster Mansion is very special for us because it's the tried and true location in the park that families can enjoy together," said Park President Melinda Ashcraft. "It was important to preserve something we thought was history. Millions of people have ridden this as a family." ... http://www.mdjonline.com/content/index/sho...tem/133234.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 See also this thorough review from The Atlanta Journal Constitution: ...Waiting just outside the exit to eavesdrop on their reactions was Gary Goddard, the ex-Disney Imagineer whose company built the old monster ride in 1981 and remade the new one for a 2009 kind of audience. “Did you hear that?!” he whispered. ” ‘Best ride ever. Awesome.’ Rar! See that? They’re making monster faces!” Other audiences were impressed, too. Phil Mendez, another former Disney guy who worked on the old and new monster rides, said it turned out better than he expected: “These guys did a heck of a job re-furring those characters,” he said.... Good friends and Six Flags Over Georgia fans and experts Robert and Peggy Ulrich get quoted too! http://www.ajc.com/services/content/printe...chbuzz0516.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've been to SFOG quite a few times but Never rode Monster Plantation, Mine Train, or Wile E. Coyote Canyon Blaster. I always end up re-riding Goliath and Mindbender all day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
