Six Flags Over Georgia brings big coasters and family fun to Atlanta

A message from: Six Flags Over Georgia

Spring break is around the corner, and summer isn't far behind — for families around Atlanta, that means one thing: it's time to get out and make some memories.
What you need to know: Six Flags Over Georgia is kicking things off with 10 days of nonstop excitement from April 3–12 before the rest of the 2026 season ramps up.
- Plus, when spring break ends, the good times keep coming with bonus Fridays on April 17, April 24 and May 15.
Here's what else: For the best value, snag a 2026 Gold Pass for the price of a Silver Pass through April 12 and get access to more parks and free parking all season long.
The plan: The second-oldest Six Flags park in the nation squeezes a lot into its 290 acres — more than 40 attractions, a seven-acre Hurricane Harbor water park, family-friendly experiences, diverse dining and seasonal events.
🎢 For the thrill seekers
Six Flags Over Georgia boasts a 12-coaster collection that includes some heavy-hitters.
- Goliath: A hyper coaster that earned national recognition for its intense 70 mph speeds and high airtime.
- Twisted Cyclone: A hybrid coaster made of a wood structure and steel tracks with a 75-degree drop.
- BATMAN: The Ride: An intense inverted coaster with multiple zero-G rolls.
- Georgia Gold Rusher: New in 2025, this ride is the first of its kind — a free-spinning launched gondola coaster with water features.
🌊 For keeping cool
Admission to Six Flags Over Georgia includes Hurricane Harbor Atlanta, located inside the park — and a free Gold Pass upgrade during the Spring Sale gets you into nearby Six Flags White Water in Marietta.
- Bonzai Pipelines gets a high thrill rating and three different slides — dart through tight turns on two or test your courage with a four-story drop on the third.
- Calypso Bay Wave Pool features four-foot crests in the deep end and kid-friendly ripples in the shallows.
- Tsunami Surge is a zero-gravity single slide, the first of its kind that combines some of its competitors' most extreme elements.
🍴For fueling the crew
Choose from classic theme park favorites — yes, including funnel cakes — or go off the beaten track and explore:
- Along the Rails Tavern, a Peachtree Square stop for beer, wine and cocktails when the 21+ group wants a coaster break with something cold in hand.
- Birds of Prey Café, a Gotham City pick for cheesesteaks, chicken tenders and beer that covers both picky eaters and hungrier parkgoers.
- Firehouse BBQ, a smokehouse option with brisket and pork smoked for 12 hours, plus Southern sides like mac and cheese and collard greens.
- Georgia Sandwich Company, a newer Peachtree Square hangout with fresh-baked bread, hand-sliced deli meats and a full outdoor bar with cocktails and mocktails.
- Strutters, the Peachtree Square chicken spot known for wings and chicken bowls when the crew wants something hearty but fast.
💰Take note: For the best value, take advantage of the Spring Sale through April 12 and snag a free upgrade to a Gold Pass for the price of a Silver Pass ($65).
- A Gold Pass gets you access to more Six Flags parks, including Carowinds — plus, free parking at all locations.
