Rides at Six Flags Over Georgia

The theme park has many rides to choose from, including thrill rides, rides designed for children, and ones the whole family can enjoy.

Thrill Rides

  • Batman: The Ride. This is a copy of the inverted roller coaster found at other theme parks. The ride is 2,700 feet long and reaches a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour.
  • Superman: Ultimate Flight. This ride tries to simulate what it might feel like to fly through the air, as if you were Superman. It features a 101 foot drop and a top speed of 51 miles per hour.
  • Georgia Cyclone. This is a wooden roller coaster that is similar to the one on Coney Island. The ride is rough but worth experiencing.
  • Goliath. This is one of the newer rides in the park. It is a huge steel coaster, featuring a 4,400 foot track and a max speed of 67 miles per hour with a drop of 175 feet and 6 zero-gravity camelback hills. This one is a must ride for coaster fans.
  • Georgia Scorcher. This stand up coaster opened in 1999. The track is 2,768 feet long with a maximum drop of 107 feet and a top speed of 54 miles per hour.

Family Rides

  • Thunder River. This is one of the largest water rides in the entire Six Flags family of parks. Your 12-person raft will go into two tunnels and finish by going through a waterfall. Children must be at least 36 inches tall to ride.
  • Thomas the Tank Engine. This ride is one of the park’s newest attractions. It features a replica tank that takes a trip around Sodor Island. There is no height requirement when children ride with an adult.

Rides for Kids

  • Hanson Cars. Let your child get behind the wheel of these 4-person cars.
  • Dodge City Bumper Cars. These cars are not known for their power, but they make up for it in volume. Approximately 50 cars drive around on the track running into each other.
  • Skull Island. This water park area opened in 2005 and features slides and a volcano. There are plenty of ways to get wet on this island, so head here when you want to cool off.
