04 · The parks

What each one is.

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.

Six Flags Over Texas

Six Flags Over Texas is the original Six Flags park, opened in 1961 in Arlington - the location that gave the whole chain its name. The coaster line-up includes New Texas Giant (a record-setting Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid), Titan (a 255-foot hyper coaster), Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast, Judge Roy Scream, Shock Wave, and the classic Runaway Mine Train.

Texas school holidays, the extremely popular Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park events drive most of Six Flags Over Texas's peak crowds. Summer heat can push queue times up as guests seek the shadier rides and water attractions. Check live wait times for New Texas Giant and Titan on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a cooler, lower-crowd midweek date.
