I’ve lived in Georgia most of my life and visited Six Flags a dozen or so times during my youth. I have many fond memories of days at the park from the time I was five until I was in high school. I’m now in my thirties and have not visited Six Flags Over Georgia in more than 20 years. Now that I have kids of my own I visited again to show them the place I enjoyed when I was young. This review of Six Flags Georgia includes my take on the park as an adult and a returning visitor. If you decide to visit we have a page for Six Flags over Georgia discounts where you can get tickets and ticket combos for a better price than at the door. Even if you don’t use our page do look around as there are many coupons and other deals to save money on tickets.
Roller Coasters
When we arrived just after opening at 10:00 AM we noticed the Batman ride 
and other roller coasters, and this brings me to my first point about Six Flags: You won’t find a better place for roller coasters in the world. Six Flags has the best roller coasters I’ve ever seen anywhere, and I’ve visited a lot of amusement parks.
Thomas Town
Six Flags isn’t just roller coasters though and there are many things for kids of all ages to enjoy. We brought our two year old so he could enjoy Thomas Town (of Thomas the Train fame). He liked the train ride and really enjoyed the playground. I was a little disappointed at the size of Thomas Town as the TV commercials make it look much bigger and grander. Regardless of my interpretation of the size the young kids enjoyed it, but I don’t think it’s worth a trip on its own.
Buying Food at Six Flags – Don’t
When I was a kid we always brought a picnic lunch and left the park to eat (you can return with a paid ticket on the same day). Now I know why. The foot is overpriced and of poor quality. We ate at a cheesy themed Western restaurant that offered expensive hamburgers and chicken fingers that tasted terrible. The restaurant was dirty and the floor slippery. To top it off the staff was…ehhh. If you do have to eat in the park avoid the themed restaurants and stick to the chains like Papa Johns Pizza and Panda Express. At least with these you know what you’re getting – overpriced or not.
Six Flags Employees
Six Flags hires outstanding people overall. Often an employee will smile and welcome you to the park, or go out of their way to help you, but Six Flags also has a few employees that are complete opposites and are apathetic at best. Some employees can’t even communicate and just short of refuse to help you (we had two kids and a stroller so we needed all the help we could get).
Overall Impression
Six Flags Over Georgia, Atlanta is a fun place for families. It isn’t cheap, but it is also the best amusement park north of Florida. And when it comes to thrill rides Six Flags can’t be beat. If you’re visiting Atlanta be sure to include a day at Six Flags, especially if you have kids, as it will be a highlight of your trip.
