I was very disappointed with the spectacle that is Shake, Rattle & Roll, especially considering how highly regarded Astrophere is on this site. The building left me wonering what was inside, and after skipping it all of last year due to long lines, I took a spin when it was a walk-on today. Once inside, I was discouraged by what (to me) looked like cheap themeing with the banners on the scramblers arms simply painted fluorescent orange and green, but I got over that when I saw a ton of lights, speakers and disco balls. I hopped on and the lights were killed. Then we started spinning and the music began to play. I thought that the choice in music was great, especially seeing that it is located in the USA section of the park, notably themed to 50s Americana. The sound system was also great, one of the best systems on a ride Ive heard. The ride was ok, fast and intense, but... it was a short duration, which was a big let down considering the park was empty when I rode and there was no need for that. The light show was weak too, very limited, and nothing like some of the photos Ive seen out of Funtown, so I think that a 5 will suffice. The scrambler itself would probably get a 5, and this particular light show didnt add to it very much. Still, a fair ride to try when you visit Six Flags Over Georgia.Updated, reason explained in my review comments.
