A colossal theme park spread over 230 acres, Six Flags over Georgia is no place for the faint hearted. Famed for its spine chilling, nerve wrecking rides, this park was established in 1967 and hasn't witnessed a dull moment ever since.
The rollercoaster rides at the park range from the exciting to the extraordinary- the new Goliath is a monster of a rollercoaster. The largest in the south-east, this 200 feet long ride hits speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. The other rides like Acrophobia, which plunges you down a distance of 160 feet while on your feet- and the Déjà vu which flings you forward and then backward, don't lag far behind either. With a rush of adrenaline that's bound to keep you coming back for more, it's no wonder that the park sees hundreds of visitors swarming in everyday. And if rollercoaster rides are not what you are looking for, there's always Skull Island you can visit. With its three mammoth water dumping towers, six water slides and hundreds of interactive water elements, there's bound to be plenty of splashing around, so make sure to carry your bathing suit and a towel with you when you visit the park.
The Six Flags amusement park also aims to make the park a complete family experience. With this in mind, the park also features several attractions specially adapted to appeal to children of diverse age groups. The Bugs Bunny world is a colorful and child-safe theme area with an entire selection of rides dedicated to children. The larger than life characters gambol, climb, ride and explore with the tiny tots while catch your breath in between rides.
And if that's not enough, the celebrations never end at the Six Flags over Georgia amusement park. Whether it's a big name or an upcoming talent who's performing, you'll certainly find plenty of good music to groove to. The entertainment ranges from street performers to parades, something you'll remember for a long time to come. For those sudden hunger attacks, you can stop by at the numerous restaurants which stock everything, right from American and British cuisine to Mexican and Promenade fare. If you can't make up your mind and want to try a bit of everything, meal vouchers make a viable option. These vouchers have to be purchased ahead of time and may be used for specific meals at several restaurants at any time of the day.
For souvenirs, you can choose from an array of memorabilia inspired by your characters. From collectables to apparel, there's no saying just what you can find here. And you don't even have to bother carting your heavy shopping bags with you. Your purchases will be billed and presented to you near the exit, when you leave. The park organizes various events and concerts over the year, details of which are updated on the website.
