This year, Six Flags delivered a brand new coaster, new food offerings, and a fresh paint job to Over Georgia's signature hypercoaster as part of a $1 Billion plan to invest in all 40+ of its properties. It's also chosen to make cuts to several parks in its portfolio...
Those wanting to get one last ride in at Six Flags Over Georgia before 2026 have until Sunday to do it. That’s a shorter window than in years past.
