Park News - (8/24/2026) Six Flags over Georgia has revealed their Fright Fest line-up for 2026. It will feature five haunted mazes (Finklestein’s House of Fun, Infestation, Camp Slasher, Saw Legacy of Terror and The Conjuring Universe) along with five scare zones (Disciples of the Beast, Dreadwell Brothers Carnival of Curiosities, Nevermore, Rockville Festival of Fright, The Rotted Ones). Look for it to take place on select nights from Sept. 12 through to Nov. 1st, 2026.
(7/9/2026) Six Flags over Georgia will host the DC Heroes and Villains Fest this summer on select dates from July 11th through August 2nd, 2026. You can witness “the ultimate battle between good and evil” as the characters collide as the park “brings the world of Gotham City to life in an all-out theatrical adventure” as part of an “large-scale experience that brings the world of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains to the park with exceptional production design and the pulse of a live festival.”
 “Set across a full evening timeline on select dates, July 11 – Aug. 2, the fest unfolds as a real-world, interactive story that surrounds guests with live-action moments, stunts, music, comedy and crowd-powered theatrics.”
“To start the night, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin of the Justice League arrive in heroic fashion, only to have their celebration taken over by a full-scale villain breakout orchestrated by Lex Luthor and carried out by The Joker, Harley Quinn and Catwoman. Guests become citizens of Gotham City, caught in the middle as villains unleash chaos through mischievous music shows, engaging themed dance parties, midway madness and surprises throughout—each element seamlessly advancing the unfolding story.”
“The event features multiple segments brought to life with a full cast and crew of actors, stunt professionals, dancers, technicians and effects teams. Every performance is an invitation for the audience to participate, cheer, dance and choose a side—hero or villain. With Six Flags Over Georgia as the stage and DC’s legendary Super Heroes and Super-Villains driving the experience, the festival engages fans of all ages in an unforgettable adventure.”
“Taking place in the Gotham City themed area, one of the park’s most popular areas, DC Heroes and Villains Fest is the ultimate destination for thrill-seekers and DC fans alike, featuring themed music, food and drinks and entertainment, the opportunity to meet a lineup of exclusive DC characters, an unprecedented lineup of thrilling DC-themed rides and attractions and much more.”

(7/8/2026) A sudden violent storm struck Six Flags over Georgia over the weekend, causing a tree to come crashing down on the walkway from the park entrance to a parking lot, causing injury to four young guests. At least one of the injuries is reported as being serious, so we hope everyone ends up ok.
(6/30/2026) Six Flags over Georgia surprised everyone with an announcement earlier today. This is a bit of good news / bad news… as the park confirms that the Georgia Gold Rusher ride that just opened in 2025 will now be closed for the remainder of the 2026 season.
“To improve the ride’s performance, availability and reliability, the manufacturer will be making enhancements to the ride’s vehicle. Unfortunately, these enhancements will not be complete until the 2027 season.”
So the good news is obviously, we should be able to expect and better and more reliable ride experience going forward, once Georgia Gold Rusher reopens. Let’s just hope that it will be ready in early 2027 instead of by the end of next year.

(6/28/2026) This has been a long time coming, but at long last it is being reported that the pieces of the closed Kid Flash coaster are now being taken down at Six Flags over Georgia.
(6/20/2026) According to some posts on social media several of the B&M Stand-Up train cars used previously on Green Lantern at Six Flags Great Adventure have been spotted in a staging lot at Six Flags over Georgia. We can only assume they’ll be either repurposed for use on Georgia Scorcher, or stripped down for parts to maintain the existing trains on the Scorcher.
(6/3/2026) The new Park President of Six Flags over Georgia, Richard Pretlow II, says that he wants the park to be the best it can be, and that includes making it safer than it ever has been. “We're not blind or oblivious to the things going on in the world. We know about the takeovers and all those things. Having the relationships with the local authorities is critically important, but also our staff here on the ground.”
According to Pretlow, there is a renewed sense of security at the park, both in terms of guest safety on the rides, as well as in relation to the general guest experience within the park itself. “The biggest part of correcting any problem is acknowledging you have one.” “We know we’ve had one, and we’re taking the right steps to fix them.”
If the name Richard Pretlow sounds familiar to theme park fans, you have heard it before, as he also previously served as Park President of Six Flags America for one year during the park’s 2021 season, where it was often said that he led a remarkable turn-around of that park for the season he was there.
(5/10/2026) Six Flags had some good news last week for fans of Six Flags over Georgia and Six Flags Great Adventure. The company announced that they were going to bring back the “Holiday in the Park” winter festival event after cancelling them last season. The returning events will be “reimagined” and feature new themed lands, live entertainment and more family friendly activities. Six Flags says they are now planning on making this a multi-year investment to bring the Holiday in the Park event back to these two parks, so you can expect the experience to grow and add new features each year for the next few years.
According to Six Flags, this version of Holiday in the Park will have been “completely redesigned from the ground up”. The exact line-up of entertainment and rides that will be available will be announced at a future date.
Now… you may be wondering… who is being left out here? The answer is Kings Dominion, who saw it’s WinterFest event cut from the 2025 schedule and it will not be returning for 2026 either. Kings Dominion was also left out of the list of major parks who were bringing back the Park President position, so it does make one ponder what Six Flags has in store for Kings Dominion going forward. As such… I would think that the 2026 Summer Season is going to be a very important one for the park, as I think they will be keeping a very close eye on how operations go this year.
2027 - Six Flags Entertainment will exercise the Option to purchase 100% Ownership of the Six Flags over Georgia property. For more details, click here.
???? - New Attraction Guest Survey Concepts - (10/18/2025) I don’t know all the details, but apparently a guest survey sent out to some Six Flags over Georgia guests was showing off a proposal that seemed to indicate that the current Dahlonega Mine Train (1967 Arrow Mine Train) could be replaced by something more modern. The idea was to keep it as a themed family coaster experience, but replace it with a new “hybrid” family coaster experience that would send riders through a terrain or “twisting wooden trestles, dive through steel-forged canyons, and race along a breaktaking mix of airtime hills, banked curves, and family-friendly drops.”
Other proposals for Six Flags over Georgia included a new Launch Coaster (artwork of AlpenFury at Canada’s Wonderland shown), a plant to fully retheme all the park’s kiddie areas “under one cohesive and exciting new story”, as well as a proposed expansion to the waterpark. For the later, it wasn’t clear if they meant to expand the nearby WhiteWater waterpark, or if this was intended as an expansion of small internal Hurricane Harbor waterpark.
