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.

The Wizarding World's Hogsmeade is the park's most iconic area.

Like its sister Studios park, Islands of Adventure stays busy year-round, with Hagrid's and VelociCoaster consistently posting the longest queues. Peak periods are US school holidays, Halloween Horror Nights and Christmas. Check live wait times immediately on arrival and head to Hagrid's first.
