Editorial Review for Six Flags Over Georgia – by Mike DiPrima
The Scene
The big daddy is the Georgia Scorcher, one of the Southeast's tallest and fastest stand-up roller coasters. About a dozen others tempt thrill seekers like Deja Vu, a boomerang roller coaster and Acrophobia, a 200-foot rotating tower-drop ride. But the biggest attraction is Superman, the South's only coaster in which riders are suspended in a flying position. Also check out Viper's 360-degree loop, the Ninja's corkscrews, Mindbender's triple loop, the Freefall's 10-story drop and the Great Gasp's 20-story drop.
The Draw
There are plenty of tamer rides and other things to do. See that silly wabbit in Bugs Bunny Land, get spooked at Monster Plantation, swing in a cable car or take a breather while you watch a musical stage show. By the end of the day, you'll be exhausted, wet from the splash of the Log Flume and sticky from sno-cones and cotton candy.

I noticed that several good reviews seemed to have magically appeared that are completely adverse to the first. Oh there have been changes, but for the worse. The prices have gone up drastically. I remember paying $20 to get in. I understand that with an increase in minimum wage, fuel costs, consumer confidence down and an overall depressed economy, that people are less likely to have disposable income. So why so expensive for such a lousy visit? $45 per adult on premises/ $30 online (for now). Wow. I have been to prohibitively expensive theme parks all over this country. Some of them you walk away from saying, "That was pricey" but you've had a memorable time. Six Flags over GA IS NOT in that category. You have buyers remorse about a half hour (or less) into the visit. As for the staff being terrible, that's because the company will only pay sixteen year olds minimum wage so... that's what you get. Its a fast food level of customer service with rides. And for whomever is writing these positive reviews (one right after the other), glad you had such a great time.
Pros: Its in town.
Cons: Staff, staff, lines, staff, cleanliness, overall quality of visit

Staff was blatantly careless, indifferent, and at times flat out rude. $40 Admission was extremely overpriced relative to the quality and quantity of rides offered. I grew up 30 minutes from Cedar Point so I have high amusement park standards....but this was just pathetic. "Superman" was decent, but was extremely short. Batman was out of service. Food selections were limited to pulled pork, hamburgers, chicken fingers and pizza. Pizza was an even worse version of Papa Johns and they charged $25 for a whole pizza. They nickel and dimed us the whole day, forcing us to rent lockers for my GF's purse before boarding Goliath, $15 parking, $5 beverages. Above all, beyond the poor food, poor facilities, poor ride quality and poor ride selection, the unbelievably rude employees took the cake. I arrived at 6 flags excited and in a great mood. I left 6 flags wanting to go postal. And broke.
Pros: none
Cons: expensive food, poor quality food, poor scenery, poor ride selection, awful service
