Georgia Amusement Parks
Six Flags over Georgia
Where can you go and spend the day with Superman,
Bugs Bunny, and Batman all in the same place? What
place will delight you with high-tech thrills as well
as beautiful landscaping? Curious? Well, put on your
walking shoes, load up your family and friends and
head to Six
Flags over Georgia, just west of Atlanta off I-20.
Six Flags, established in 1967, is a 331 acre park divided
into 9 themed areas. While there, you can enjoy thrill rides
like the Acrophobia, the Déjà vu, the Ninja,
or the Great American Scream Machine. However, if you like
to take things a bit slower, line up for the Monster
Plantation, the Log Jamboree or the Riverview Carousel to
name a few.
Six Flags is a great way to spend the day. You will make
lasting memories as you laugh at the different shows, scream
on the roller coasters and cool off on the water rides.
So, when you come to Atlanta, don't miss out on the fun
found at Six Flags over Georgia!
