    This Vekoma is surprisingly nice to ride. The newer trains remove any chance of head banging! There are a couple times you do get jarred into the turns but it’s not bad considering the age of this coaster. The paint job is beautiful. The inversions are forceful and really lay on the positive Gs. The front will give you a slightly smoother ride.

    Good ride, you don't see a lot of Vekoma mega loopers in the United States and it's a great ride to go to if you're at Six Flags over Georgia if you're a decent amusement park.

    It's a very scenic coaster, with its flashy blue and gray paint over the water. The layout is unique as well and definitely looks intimidating to newcomers. Unfortunately, the track is not exactly the smoothest. While the vest restraints help with this problem to an extent, this does not fix the problem entirely. If you plan on riding this, in order to get the most comfortable ride, I recommend keeping your head off of the back seat, and to be as close to the front as you can.

    New life for the little Vekoma that could! New trains and reinforcement to key supports on the trickier inversions worked wonders! It's forceful, smooth, and extremely enjoyable! I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement since the Ninja days. Easily one of my favorites at the park now <3

    I hit my head on this and I don’t think it healed quite right as I now have head pain in that exact area whenever I ride rides now. It’s still a pretty rough coaster although the refurbishment did help smoothen it a bit.

    Exciting closer on its own but not quite up to the standard of other rides within the park…also jerky compared to some others

    I like the coaster quite a bit, its a classic tightly built steel coaster and i have never experienced the head banging side to side i always heard about even back when it was still the Ninja. However the brakes at the end.....they are really really powerful and used strongly if the train ahead of you isnt finished loading yet. I wouldn't risk this ride if you are sensitive to that extreme stopping force

    Bumpy. Lots of twists, turns, super crazy. Apparently the only coaster to have three pretzels? I definitely recommend this ride.

    The new paint is absolutely gorgeous and the new trains are extremely comfy. Unfortunately, this is basically putting a band-aid over the underlying problem: Blue Hawk just rattles throughout its layout. Even though you no longer have anything to hit your head on, the shaking in tandem with high G forces and some awkward transitions can give you a headache. It's fun if you're feeling lively and hydrated, but if you're tired after a long day or are easily sickened, this ride is not a fun time.

    One of my favorite coasters at Six Flags Over Georgia! The triple loop did make my vision a little blurry but not a full blackout, just a warning. Very smooth ride and I loved it!

    WORST RIDE BY FAR. Anyone on here saying it’s a good ride is someone paid by six flags to say it. Literally everyone has headaches and neck pain after riding. Horrible

    Once in the old early Ninja days I rode it 6 times back to back. It was slow so the operator just let us stay on. Needless to say I needed excedrin afterwards! Good times...

    Favorite coaster. If you haven't tried it since it was Ninja then TRY IT!!! It is truly smooth now. (Too smooth, if you ask me!) I recommend the front seat. This coaster has 5 inversions -- meaning you go upside-down 5 times. Twice right off the drop hill in what's called a "Butterfly". Then you hit a sidewinder loop that exits straight (my favorite loop). Lastly, you go through a double corkscrew. It is SO much fun but less intense than some of the more modern steel coasters like Batman which are sometimes a bit much for some riders. Highly recommend for younger riders before going on to Batman/Superman/Goliath. Just a fun coaster overall-- and it is over the water! Wish they had named it Aquaman, lol!

    5th best coaster here, I love that this has so many inversion and all of them are smooth and snappy. I think that they did this coaster a favor by having Vekoma come to fix it.

    Hate the part when you feel like you gotta duck your head by the tracks. I recommended no tall person to do but it’s optional to them

    Pretty rough, no airtime, weak inversions. Gave me a headache afterward

    There's nothing wrong riding this rare Vekoma looping coaster. But that wasn't the case back when it was Ninja. The setting of this ride is breathtaking.

  • 5/5 Alex W. 2 years ago on Google
    After the redo, I really like this ride. It's normally a one and done for me when I'm at the park because they have a lot of much better rides, but it is a really smooth and fun experience.
