Park History
Six Flags Over Georgia is the second Six Flags theme park and one of only three parks in the entire chain to be built by Six Flags founder Angus G. Wynne. The other two parks are Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags St. Louis.
After the success of the original Six Flags theme park in Arlington, Texas, Wynne started to look for a second location to build another park. Wynne found this property just west of Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River in 1963 and immediately started to design the park. When Six Flags Over Georgia opened on June 16, 1967, Six Flags became the first theme park operator in the United States with more than one gate.
Six Flags Over Georgia was similar to the first park in Texas. The theme was inspiried by the six different flags that have flown over the state - France, Great Britain, Spain, United States of America, Confederate States of America and the state of Georgia.
Over the years Six Flags Over Georgia has changed with many new attractions built to keep the park fresh. Today, only one of the park's original rides remains, the Dahlonega Mine Train roller coaster.
