Six Flags Over Georgia
Austell, Georgia
Located near Atlanta, this park opened as the second park in the Six Flags chain when it debuted on June 7, 1967 with two roller coasters. Two years later, the land's ownership was passed to a limited partnership, Six Flags Over Georgia, LP, while Six Flags Theme
Parks (SFTP) became responsible for the park's operation. After being controlled by several corporate entities, SFTP was finally purchased by Time-Warner, Inc. Feeling that their interests were being ignored by SFTP, the LP sued Time-Warner in 1997 for neglecting the property.
The LP was awarded the staggering sum of $197 million in compensatory damages and $257 million in punitive damages. Time Warner sold all of its Six Flags holdings to the Six Flags Theme Parks organization in 1998. Six Flags will
take full ownership of the park in 2027.
Six coasters have been removed from Six Flags Over Georgia:
- Déjà Vu (2001-2007) was Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang. It was relocated to Mirabilandia in Olina, Brazil where it was expected to operate as Sky Mountain, but it
was never assembled there. (See pictures below for more.)
- Georgia Cyclone (1990-2017) was a wood coaster built by the Dinn Corporation. It was converted into the steel
Twisted Cyclone by Rocky Mountain Construction. (See pictures below for more.)
- Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster was a "P'Sghetti Bowl" single rail steel coaster built by Skyline Attractions. It opened in November 2023, but closed in August 2024. It was less than 25 feet tall.
It had two tracks, each less than 600 feet long. Skyline Attractions has had a horrendous
history with each of the Single Rail coasters it has built suffering from technical problems. An identicalKid Flash Cosmic Coaster ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas was removed after nine months of operation,
the Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom operated for just one year, and a similar Tidal Twister at
SeaWorld San Diego was demolished after just years.
- Mini-Mine Train (1969-1988) was an Arrow Dynamics mine train. For its early years, it was called Yahoola Hooler.
- Viper (1995-2001) was a Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop that utilized a Weight Drop to launch its train through the vertical loop.
It was originally Tidal Wave at Six Flags Great America from 1978 to 1991. It ended its life as
Greezed Lightnin' at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom where it operated from 2003 to 2009.
- Z-Force (1985-1987) was an Intamin Space Diver steel coaster. The coaster started as Z-Force at
Six Flags Great America from 1985 to 1987. It then operated as Flashback at
Six Flags Magic Mountain from 1992 to 2003. It was then Standing But Not Operating from 2003 until it was demolished in 2007. (See pictures below for more.)
