The gates to Six Flags Over Georgia swung back open today for a new season filled with high-flying excitement and thrilling experiences for guests of all ages.

The park’s much-anticipated opening day festivities were headlined by the debut of Georgia Gold Rusher - a groundbreaking roller coaster that promises to deliver an exhilarating ride like no other.

Georgia Gold Rusher is the 12th roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, and the world's first 'Ultra Surf' model from Intamin Amusement Rides.

The unique ride features outward-facing gondolas that spin freely while zooming across a 590-foot, U-shaped track. Riders are launched back and forth at speeds reaching 60 mph, soaring to heights of up to 144 feet, while encountering gravity-defying airtime moments that provide weightless thrills. This innovative ride is expected to become an instant favorite among thrill-seekers and families alike.

Greg Fuller, General Manager at Six Flags Over Georgia, said:

“With a new roller coaster and a multitude of enhancements throughout the park, this season will build on our park legacy, bringing new energy and excitement for our loyal fans and future park guests”.

Georgia Gold Rusher was inspired by the state’s historic 19th-century gold rush. The theming is designed to transport riders back in time, giving them a taste of the past while they experience cutting-edge coaster technology. The ride features three gravity-defying airtime moments on gravity stall ramps and four unique airtime sensations as it rushes up the central hill, making each ride feel different from the last.

In addition to Georgia Gold Rusher, Six Flags Over Georgia has unveiled a variety of upgrades and new features throughout the park. Guests can look forward to a revitalized culinary experience, with the addition of three new dining concepts, fresh menu options, and an improved service operation. The park has also welcomed a new executive chef, who will oversee the refreshed culinary vision, ensuring that every meal is as thrilling as the rides.

The excitement doesn’t end with the new roller coaster and dining improvements. Six Flags Over Georgia has committed to enhancing the overall guest experience with theming upgrades and continued investment in the park’s older attractions. All these efforts are part of the park’s dedication to providing unforgettable entertainment and maintaining its status as one of the premier amusement destinations in the region.

Georgia Gold Rusher is now open and ready to thrill visitors, adding a new layer of excitement to an already strong lineup of attractions at Six Flags Over Georgia. Whether you're a longtime fan of the park or a first-time visitor, this season promises to be full of fun, thrills, and memories waiting to be made.
