Six Flags to debut a new attraction

Plans for the reopening of Six Flags White Water and Six Flags Over Georgia have been announced and include an unveiling of a new water slide and an updated version of the classic Great American Scream Machine roller coaster.

Six Flags Over Georgia will open for its 55th season on March 5, and Six Flags White Water will open for its 38th season on May 7. Six Flags over Georgia is a major economic engine for the South Cobb area. 

A news release from Six Flags says the Python Plunge, a fast-paced, two-person waterslide, reaching a height of five stories, is set to open this spring at Six Flags White Water in Marietta. At their park in Austell, Six Flags Over Georgia will unveil the new-and-improved Great American Scream Machine in celebration of the park’s 55th anniversary. Updates to the ride include a complete re-tracking and replacement of much of the wooden structure. The Great American Scream Machine is a designated American coaster enthusiasts landmark because of its historical significance, as is the Mind Bender.

“We consistently look at ways to refine our offerings to elevate the guest experience,” said park president, Dale Kaetzel. “And we’re eager to welcome guests back to both parks this spring.”

Apart from attractions, Six Flags Over Georgia is offering new, and old, events for guests that will be taking place throughout the year. Events like “July 4th Fest,” “Fright Fest” and “Holiday in the Park” are all returning in 2022. Park-goers can also look forward to events like “Spring BreakOUT” for students on spring break from April 1 to April 10, Six Flags Over Georgia’s 55th-anniversary celebration on June 14, and “Brews and Bites” where guests can sample food and drinks 

Currently, both parks are hiring over 1,000 new employees for the 2022 season. Those who are hired will be offered free park admission, flexible schedules, paid training, and more, according to the press release, and daily walk-in interviews are held at the Six Flags Over Georgia Employment Center from 12 to 5 p.m.Interested applicants or those who wish to purchase a 2022 season pass can learn more at sixflagsjobs.com.
