The 44th season at Six Flags Over Georgia is kicking off this weekend. Here are the Top 5 Reasons to get over to Six Flags now…
1. The weather is cooler – so you won’t feel like passing out waiting in line for Superman
2. You won’t be waiting in line for Superman, or any other coaster – as crowds are a lot smaller this time of year
3. Tickets are just $20.11 (if you donate food) – you can’t beat that, even with a Groupon or a two for one ticket on the coke can (or get a season pass for $49.99)
4. You’ll be doing something good for those less fortunate by donating 6 or more food items to MUST Ministries (ideas: canned fish, ham, beef, jelly, dry milk, beans, rice – see a complete wish list at www.sixflags.com)
5. If $20.11 is still too much, Field Trips with Sue is giving away a Family 4-Pack good this weekend!

New This Summer (but won’t be open for this weekend)
Dare Devil Dive roller coaster, a thrilling experience that takes riders up a 10-story vertical lift before plummeting down a beyond-vertical first drop. Dare Devil Dive will open in late spring. A live web-cam of the construction as well as a video animation of the ride can be found online at sixflags.com. I watched it and there is no way I’ll be going on this ride.
Show Stoppin’, a high-energy musical showcase highlighting contemporary hits across all music genres and Soda Shoppe Sweethearts, a show that takes guests back to the era of poodle skirts and classic radio hits.
how exciting! we love the little train in the toddler zone
I have always loved the Monster Plantation!
Haven’t been there since high school in the 80′s. I guess it’s time to go back!
Our little girls love the log ride. We got stuck on it the last time we were there and they still want more!
I love Six Flags. I guess my favorite ride was the Shooting Spaceship that went upside down. But that is no longer at Six Flags over GA because of the Goliath so I guess my next favorite is the Mind Bender.
My family really enjoys the Peachtree Square Sky Buckets. We would also really love to win the family four pack for the opening weekend. Please pick us!!!
My favorite attraction is the Superman roller coaster! It makes you feel like you’re flying and it made my grown brother scream like a little girl.
of course the classic scream machine but Goliath is our favorite space experience!
I love love Superman! But I also have a place in my heart for the Mindbender because it brings back memories of when I was a kid!
After all these years, I still love the Mine Train!
I would have to say the mine train because that is the first “rollercoaster” lol that I rode and the first one my DS rode.
So it brings back good memories for us. And every time we go that is the first ride we go to.
The Scream Machine is my all time favorite! I used to ride it as a kid at Six Flags in St. Louis, MO. Now I ride it in Georgia! My family is coming in town from Ohio this weekend for their spring break. It would be awesome to surprise them with a trip to Six Flags!
We went last year for the first time in years. Goliath was incredible. We can’t wait to ride again.
I haven’t been in so long… Not sure I even know what all the current rides are anymore.
I’m old school! I still love the Mindbender!
I haven’t been to Six Flags since I was young, but I always loved the Scream Machine. Can’t wait to share these memories w/my kids!
I love the Antique Cars! The kids feel like such grownups when they “drive”!!
My family likes the mine train!

we try to go every summer, can’t wait to go this year. My daughter loves the kiddy roller coaster and this year…..she is tall enough to ride the BIG COASTERS!! I’m sure we will have a list of NEW favorites
Wooooohoooooo! It’s time to visit the one of the best attractions in GA. Six Flags….. Where else can you go that has something for everybody in your family. My family is particularly partial to the newly improved Monster Plantation. It was my favorite when I was a child and has become a favorite for my children. You get a good story, good sound, good set, and you don’t have to walk through it! Love the eyes that meet us.
my daughters would love to go to sixflgs to ride superman,batman,most of all they love the mindbender i got a scooter now i would love to go with them just hope we are lucky enough to win.
Our winner is Natalie Wills! Congratulations Natalie.
I have not been in a very long time (since I was in college.) I would love to take my kids. Are you still announcing the winner tomorrow? I would love to win the 4 pack for my kids.
Ronnie, We’ve already announced the winner.
