1 month ago 5

Six Flags Over Georgia is about to roll out an exciting new attraction that promises to take park thrills to the next level. On March 15, the park will officially open its gates for the 2025 season with Opening Day festivities. Among them will be an invitation to guests to experience the highly anticipated Georgia Gold Rusher, a revolutionary new roller coaster that marks a significant milestone for the theme park.

"As the park's 12^th coaster and the world's first free-spinning gondola coaster, this attraction represents our team's commitment to delivering unmatched thrills, immersive entertainment and lifelong memories," said Greg Fuller, general manager at Six Flags Over Georgia. "With a new roller coaster and a multitude of enhancements throughout the park, this season will build on our park legacy, bringing new energy and excitement for our loyal fans and future park guests."

Designed to offer a one-of-a-kind ride experience, Georgia Gold Rusher is the first attraction to boast free-spinning gondola seating, ensuring that no two trips over the track feel the same. Riders will be launched back and forth along a 590-foot U-shaped track, reaching 60 mph and soaring to 144 feet in the air. The coaster features seven “airtime” moments, including three gravity-defying moments on gravity stall ramps and four weightless sensations on its central hill.

Key Ride Stats:

Height Requirement: 52 inches
Top Speed: 60 mph
Track Length: 590 feet
Maximum Elevation: 144 feet
Airtime Elements: 7

Drawing inspiration from Georgia’s historic 1800s gold rush, the roller coaster also incorporates dynamic water features and detailed thematic elements that showcase Six Flags Over Georgia’s commitment to immersive storytelling and enhancing the guest experience. This season, the park will introduce a range of thematic upgrades and improvements designed to bring new energy and excitement to its visitors.

Beyond its thrilling new ride, Six Flags Over Georgia is making significant upgrades across the park to enhance guest enjoyment. Three new dining concepts, refreshed food options and improved service operations are among the highlights. A newly appointed executive chef will lead a revamped culinary program, introducing fresh menu selections to elevate the park’s dining scene.

The 2025 season is also packed with an exciting lineup of events. The park will operate on weekends from March 15 through May 18, with daily openings during Spring Break from April 5 to April 13. The Hurricane Harbor water park is set to welcome visitors starting May 24. Fans can also look forward to new and returning special events, including the debut of Summerbration (May 31–July 29) and reprisal of the beloved Holiday in the Park (November 22–January 4).

Guests who hold 2025 Season Passes will enjoy exclusive perks, including priority access to Georgia Gold Rusher on Opening Weekend (March 15–16) from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Season Passes, currently available at the lowest prices of the year, provide unlimited access to all the thrills and events planned for 2025.
