As you read on AtlantaMoms.com reently, I am thrilled to be a Six Flags Super Mom for the next year and hopefully longer. Being a super mom has its benefits.. such as learning about new and exciting developments at Six Flags Over Georgia. Holding this fabulous secret in has been tough and I am so glad to get to share it with you today!
Six Flags Over Georgia officially announced the addition of Hurricane Harbor, opening in 2014, today! Hurricane Harbor will completely transform the area that past park goers know as the Southern Star Amphitheater and will be free with park admission.
Hurricane Harbor, an all-new water park element of Six Flags Over Georgia will open Memorial Day 2014! Not only can parents take their kids to get the thrill of a lifetime on Six Flags traditional roller coasters and rides, starting Memorial Day of 2014 parents and kids can relax in the 800,000 gallon wave pool or enjoy a (gigantic) splash on Bahamas Blaster sporting a four story drop in the 7-acre Caribbean landscaped Hurricane Harbor. Younger kids will enjoy the wave pool and interactive children’s water play area.
Park president, Dale Kaetzel, informed us that the Caribbean Island themed water park will include cabanas, shaded areas, dining locations, and shopping. The addition of Hurricane Harbor to the South East’s premier theme park, will make Six Flags Over Georgia a must-visit park for residents and tourists alike. Six Flags Over Georgia is located at 275 Riverside Parkway SW in Austell off of Interstate 20 west of Atlanta, just a quick drive from Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Hurricane Harbor, set to open in late May 2014, will include an 800,000 gallon wave pool, a multi-slide tower, and a “world’s first” single slide tower combining two extreme slide thrills, plus an interactive children’s water play area.
Construction plans for Six Flags Over Georgia’s largest expansion in history, Hurricane Harbor, are in the works and groundbreaking of the site will begin in September. The new Hurricane Harbor will kick off its’ inaugural weekend with an opening spectacular that will be an historic event and remain open throughout the summer season. In addition to supplying families with tons of splashing fun, the new water park addition will add 200-300 seasonal positions to Six Flags Over Georgia, a great local economy booster.
Admission to Hurricane Harbor will be included in any one day admission ticket or a Six Flags Over Georgia season pass. Six Flags White Water in Marietta, Ga. and Six Flags Over Georgia will continue to offer combination passes for guests to enjoy both destinations at one low price.
