GET YOUR THRILLS

If gravity-defying corkscrews are more your speed, head over to Six Flags Over Georgia. New this year is a first-of-its-kind single-rail family racing coaster where trains running on parallel tracks race each other to the finish. Cool off at Six Flags White Water, a 69-acre water park full of slides, lazy rivers, and a giant wave pool.
