04 · The parks

What each one is.

Seaworld San Diego

SeaWorld San Diego sits on the shore of Mission Bay in San Diego, California. It's the original SeaWorld park, opened in 1964, and blends marine-animal exhibits with modern coasters: Emperor (a floorless dive coaster), Electric Eel (a triple-launch coaster), Manta (a launched family coaster), and the newer Arctic Rescue straddle coaster.

Southern California weather keeps SeaWorld San Diego open year-round, with peak crowds during US school holidays, Halloween Spooktacular and Christmas. Weekdays in January, September and October are dramatically calmer. Check live queue times for Emperor and Electric Eel on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek day for shorter waits. The park pairs well with a full-day visit to nearby San Diego attractions.

Six Flags Over Georgia

Six Flags Over Georgia sits in Austell, just west of Atlanta, and has been running since 1967. The coaster line-up includes Goliath (a 200-foot hyper coaster), Twisted Cyclone (a Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Batman the Ride, Superman: Ultimate Flight, and the classic Mind Bender. A Hurricane Harbor water park operates on the same site.

Georgia school holidays, the Fright Fest Halloween event, and Atlanta-area weekend visits drive peak crowds. Summer heat and humidity push queue times up in the afternoon as guests head to shaded and indoor rides. Check live wait times for Goliath and Twisted Cyclone on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek visit in May, September or October for far shorter waits.
