SIX FLAGS OVER GEORGIA & White Water Atlanta Six Flags Theme Parks
Buy Six Flags over Georgia Tickets
Park News - (3/13/10) I’m told that SF over Georgia did add a new attraction of sorts… a Helicopter Tour that provides short tours over the park and surrounding areas. Prices as of opening weekend were $30 for one guest, $50 for two, $70 for three. The chopper lands out at the park’s “old on site gas station in the corner of the parking lot”. Last weekend the park held a endurance competition on the Great American Scream Machine which was won by a member of CoasterForce, Allison Feldman, who rode it 152 times. Apparently of all the people who started, four remained until the end and the winner was chosen at random. The prize… tickets and travel to the Six Flags park of her choice and a $250 gas card. Man, I never hear about fun events like this… where was the sign up sheet for this? (2/8/10) SFOG locals who also enjoy trips to American Adventures (next to Six Flags White Water) will find American Adventures is currently closed. A notice on their website says, “Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be closed until further notice. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”. It’s not sure exactly what has caused the attraction to close down. Starting back in 2008 the attraction was leased by Six Flags to Zuma Holdings which ran a number of other smaller FEC style attractions. The weird thing is that in late 2008 all of the Zuma parks were sold to Parc Management to become part of their PARC Fun Centers chain, but this deal did not include American Adventures which ended up with the Mega Fun Parks Company. (12/30/09) I’ve got a quick update and some more close up shots of the new Blue Batman. It seems what looked like yellow paint on the rails from far away
was really just plain gray rails as you can see in the close ups. (12/29/09) A reader went by SFOG over the weekend and send in a couple of pictures showing off the new Blue and Yellow paint job on Batman: The Ride. It looks like the track has been painted a medium blue color, and the rails may have been painted yellow. (12/7/09) According to a source that went by the park the other day, the noticed that some large sections of Batman have indeed been repainted Blue. Given the location however, this may be a difficult thing to get pictures of from a public area unless someone local knows a good spot. (12/4/09) A great photo trip report from Six Flags over Georgia has been posted to Westcoaster this week. (11/2/09) A few pictures (see sidebar) were sent in from a reader who took in a day at Six Flags over Georgia yesterday, last day of the season. In the Lickskillet section of the park they noticed a few buildings had been gutted inside to the framework, so I’m guessing this is to repair damage from the flood a month ago. They also noticed that all around Batman: The Ride are sections that have been painted blue all over the place. Mostly a light blue, which I’m going to guess is likely some kind of primer coat maybe. But there was one section with a nicer dark blue coat near the bottom of a support, so perhaps they are considering some new colors for Batman next season. Maybe a dark blue support and yellow track look, like they’ve done to so many of the others. Anyone know more? (9/29/09) Due to all the rain last week Six Flags over Georgia experienced another one of their periodic floods as the area took on about 18-20 inches of rain of just 3 days. The river waters rose to cover over not only the parking lot, but also put the drops of the Mindbender and the Great American Scream Machine under water as well. (Click here for a couple of pictures) SFOG is prepared for this kind of thing however, as it seems to happen to them about every other year or so it seems, and the park was able to clean things up and reopen in time for the start of Fright Fest over the weekend. (9/2/09) A brief photo trip report from Six Flags over Georgia has been posted to Coaster101 this week.
2010 - Nothing New this season.
2011 - Expanded Kiddie Land - Rumor - (6/17/09) Some readers are now reporting hearing the rumor that Splashwater Falls may be removed at the end of next season (2010), with the rumored plan being to use the site to add and expand the park’s kiddie land offerings. The question is… will they expand the current land or is it time to bring in Wiggle’s World?
