New Six Flags Over Georgia water park opens

Six Flags Over Georgia today opened Hurricane Harbor, its all-new water park.

The park is the largest expansion in the park’s 47-year history, boasts four new water attractions, including the world’s first hybrid zero-gravity slide, spans seven acres and is free with admission to Six Flags Over Georgia, officials said.

“Hurricane Harbor is unlike any other water park in the region, and will quickly become a must-visit destination for all of Atlanta and the southeast region,” park president Dale Kaetzel said in a news release. “Our enormous water park will create a ‘getaway atmosphere’, as guests are able to cool off on several one-of-a-kind water attractions and then take flight on one of our 11 world-class roller coasters, all in the same day. We expect Hurricane Harbor to have a significant economic impact to the community as it draws thousands of guests from near and far, which should positively impact future development in the area.”

The park features the 38,000-square-foot Calypso Bay wave pool that will create four foot waves in eight different wave patterns to mimic the high surf of the ocean. The new park also boasts three unique water slides sit atop a 41 foot tower at Bonzai Pipelines that will send guests barreling down through 180- and 360-degree curves.
