Six Flags Over Georgia Fright Fest (with Small Children)

October 6, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

Complimentary tickets to Fright Fest provided by Six Flags Over Georgia. All thoughts and opinions are my own, as always.

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably noticed over the weekend that my family was enjoying a trip to Six Flags Over Georgia (SFOG). October may seem like a strange time of year to visit a place well known for its summer fun, but SFOG has a lot to offer over the holidays, including Fright Fest, happening every weekend through the end of the month.

I will be the first to tell you that I do NOT like to be scared. You couldn’t pay me enough to go to a haunted house, much less to walk about an entire theme park where folks can jump out and scare me at any given moment. If you are the type of person who loves that type of thing, though, the night time activities at SFOG are right for you. The haunts come out at 6pm and will absolutely terrorize you!

We left the park at 5:55pm, no joke. We soaked up every second of fun that we could right until the mood was about to turn ghoulish. And I saw plenty of families with younger kids who planned to stay in the park once things took on a decidedly scary vibe. SFOG actually offers special “ghoul be gone” rings to any child who wants the spooky characters to leave him or her alone, and I have been told that they are trained to do exactly that, and even run away from the sight of those rings. So if you have a little one who thinks getting frightened is cool, but who at the same time is still just a kid and might get a bit too frightened, the complimentary rings are the way to go. six flags over georgia fright fest 1

But during the day at Fright Fest, there is so much fun to be had and the thrills are much more gentle. We enjoyed complimentary pumpkin painting, as well as checking out all the great decorations all over the partk (some were super scary, and some were just a little spooky!).

In the Looney Toons section of the park, which is designed just for the kids, we found different characters handing out candy! SCORE!!! Kids are actually encouraged to wear their costumes to the park, but we had to forgo that option since it was really rainy the day we visited.

We also discovered story time happening in this part of the park. New spooky stories were shared every hour by a really great story teller. It was a very simple concept, but it was one of my girls’ very favorite things all day long! We actually attended story time twice per their request.

The other thing I noticed about visiting the park during the fall, ESPECIALLY on a rainy day, was the low crowds. We did not encounter a wait line all day long (though keep in mind my family wasn’t riding any roller coasters…I did see lines there, though they were very short!). Can I just tell you how much fun it is to visit a theme park and to just hop right on any ride you choose? It was AWESOME!!!

So low crowds, lots of thrills and lots of fun await folks who head to Six Flags Over Georgia for Fright Fest. My family had a ton of fun, and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to others!

Six Flags Over Georgia is open for Fright Fest Friday nights, as well as all day and into the night on Saturdays and Sundays. Detailed information about park hours and ticket prices can be found here.

Six Flags Over Georgia Holiday in the Park

November 25, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

Last weekend my family headed down to Six Flags Over Georgia to attend the media preview of a brand new event being offered select days and nights through January 4, 2015. Check out what we saw at the Holiday in the Park celebration.

The park has been transformed into 10 different areas with different holiday themes, and 1 million twinkling lights to really get your family in the holiday spirit.

Individuals and families can take a special train ride to the North Pole to meet Santa and snap a photo. You’ll see the ground covered in “snow” while you are there. And yes, you can even ride several different coasters, as well as some kid-friendly offerings.

My children really enjoyed the Looney Tunes holiday show, though if I had to do it over again, I would choose the bigger show that happened at the Crystal Pistol Music Hall. I thought we’d easily be able to fit all the offerings in during our evening trip, but it turns out that there is so much to see and do that you may have to make some choices about what to see and what to skip.

But even with all the entertainment being offered, I’d encourage you to take some time to simply enjoy the beautiful light displays.

I also think purchasing one of the s’mores kits available and heading out to the fire pits nearby is a great idea and a fun way to make some memories.

And don’t forget to take some time to play in the snow on Main Street!

This event is free to current season pass holders. Ticket information and dates can be found on the Six Flags Over Georgia website. I think this is a delightful way to celebrate the season; Six Flags Over Georgia did an excellent job for their inaugural year!

Hurricane Harbor at Six Flags Over Georgia is a Family-Friendly Oasis!

June 10, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 6 Comments

I serve in a compensated role as a Six Flags Supermom. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own, as always.

Last weekend my family took a little trip to the hottest “cool down” spot in the Southeast.

We spent close to 5 glorious hours splashing around at Hurricane Harbor, the latest addition to Six Flags Over Georgia (which has turned an already amazing park into a one-of-a-kind experience!).

Tucked away in the far side of the park from its main entrance, you’ll find turnstiles into Hurricane Harbor. Admission to this part of the park is included with your ticket price (woo hoo!) but the guarded entrance and exit is there to ensure that visitors don’t head back into the main park area wearing just their swimsuits. I really appreciate their forethought on that one! 🙂 Once inside, you feel like you’ve stepped into a laid-back beach-side community, complete with very clean bath houses for changing, a grab-and-g0 eatery, and the ultimate in relaxation: deluxe lounge accommodations!

Cabanas at Hurricane Harbor: 5 Reasons to Try Them

We stayed in one of 11 private cabanas that are available to rent ($150 weekdays and $175 weekends). Now, as fabulous as my life is, it isn’t so fabulous that this is a price I would pay without careful consideration. After giving it a whirl, though, I’ll tell you why I think it could very easily be worth it.

1. Party time! If you are having a special event like a birthday party, you’ve just rented your party area. Fees for renting party rooms are normally around that rate, anyway, so that actually makes a lot of sense!

2. Cabana renters get private access to the wave pool. And you guys, my family spent probably 75% of our entire day at the park in this fun private area. It was SO nice having all that space in the pool that wasn’t crowded and where the girls could freely splash around without bothering anyone else.

3. Dedicated staff are on hand just for you! We had folks checking in on us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and happy, and offering to do things like snap family photos for us and clean up in our cabana. It was insanely awesome service. And speaking of awesome service, when you get hungry, you just place an order with your server, and s/he goes straight into the kitchen at the Tidal Wave cafe to place your order, where you have VIP status. In most cases, your food is back in your cabana within about 5 minutes of you placing your order, and you didn’t even have to move a muscle to make it happen. That means more time for this:

5. Luxury and security. Each cabana is equipped with a refrigerator that has 6 complimentary waters inside, as well as a HUGE lockable storage trunk. Our stroller fit in there with absolutely no problems. You also get a lock and a key. I had my nicer DSLR camera with me, and I really appreciated being able to lock it away before heading out into the waves. Hurricane Harbor does have other locker facilities for rent for any guest who wants them, but again, this one was HUGE and was right there in my cabana. I would have spent A LOT of time walking back and forth to the locker area for my camera if I hadn’t been in a cabana.

Was it an indulgence? Of course it was. Was it worth it? I think yes! It’s not something that my family could afford to do every time we visit, but it is a GREAT option for groups of folks (up to 6, I believe, for the standard cabanas) or for special occasions, or even just for an occasional splurge. You will be treated like royalty, I guarantee it.

So right outside of the cabana area you will find Calypso Bay wave pool. If you don’t want to do the cabana thing, there is still plenty of seating area around the entrance. We found the crowds to be very manageable (it was a Friday, so I’m sure weekends are busier) and the lifeguards to be abundant and vigilant. As a parent, I always appreciate knowing that the staff are on top of their game, especially as it relates to matters of safety.

Behind Calypso Bay you’ll see Tsunami Surge. We were told that it required at least 2 people to ride, so since we had small kids with us, we didn’t get to try it out. But it includes a zero-gravity element, so if you are able to do so, I’m gonna go ahead and say this is a MUST RIDE!

Not far away from the cabanas, but on the other side, you’ll find the Bonzai Pipelines. These are a series of 3 different slides that can each hold 1 or 2 riders together. Tim really enjoyed them and they are a fun option for anyone in your party who might not be feeling that zero gravity business!

And finally, closest to the Hurricane Harbor entrance and exit, you’ll find Paradise Island. This element of the park actually existed last year, and was such an enormous hit that it was one of the reasons that Six Flags decided to expand its water ride offerings. It is a great location for the younger set, and has fun slides, rope bridges, and plenty of spraying water features.

My family was thoroughly entertained at Hurricane Harbor for almost our entire visit to the park. For some folks, it might be the primary desination for the entire day, and for others, it might just be a place to go cool off for an hour or two. Either way, it is an AWESOME offering and I think it makes the park even more family-friendly (for families of all sizes and ages!) than it was before.

Save Some $ By Going for a Season Pass

The way to do Six Flags Over Georgia is definitely to get a season pass. We are season pass holders, and we weren’t the least bit concerned that we didn’t ride many non-water rides on this trip. We know we’ll be back, so there was no pressure to see and do it all. We just fully enjoyed where we were and what our kids wanted to do. It made for a more relaxing visit and frankly, when you are more relaxed you have more fun, anyway! Plus, we know we can go back as many times as we want this season; the entrance fee is already covered! Season passes are a tremendous value, so take a moment and check out all the great season pass options!

Do you have plans to visit Hurricane Harbor this season???

59 Days Until Hurricane Harbor Opens at Six Flags Over Georgia!

March 24, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 6 Comments

I serve in a compensated role as a Six Flags Supermom. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own, as always.

I spent this past Saturday looking long at hard at the place where Hurricane Harbor is being constructed at Six Flags Over Georgia. I even got to get up close and personal and see how everything was coming along. As of two days ago, it looked like this:

Oh my, they certainly have their work cut out for them! But the crew I met was confident about their progress, even with all the setbacks that the tough winter provided this year (we don’t do snow in the South, y’all!).

Let me show you around a bit!

This is Paradise Island (formerly Skull Island) and it is a place that kids of all ages absolutely love! This interactive water play area serves as the entrance to Hurricane Harbor, and has dozens of slides, water elements, and lots of fun. Last year my kiddos spent the better part of the day in the park right here!

But starting this year, there will be SO MUCH MORE when it comes to water fun at Six Flags Over Georgia.

As you pass Paradise Island, you’ll come to Tradewinds, which will have some fantastic shopping (forgot your swimsuit or your towel? No problem!). You’ll also see Tidal Wave Cafe, which will offer a fun variety of yummy things to eat. After all, you work up an appetite when playing in the water! This area is also going to have a bath house for changing, as well as locker areas if you want to rent one to stow away all the things you don’t want to get wet.

The Six Flags Supermoms were all pretty excited about what we saw next. The centerpiece of the 7 acre Caribbean getaway inside Six Flags has got to be Calypso Bay, the GIGANTIC wave pool. It has 38,000 square feet and will hold 800,000 gallons of water and produce 4 foot waves. It is going to be THE place to have fun in the sun at Six Flags this year. You can find me there on one of their loungers, to be sure!

For all you brave souls out there, this is going to be the ride for you. Tsunami Surge will be a tower of slides up against this hill. It will include a 5 story drop and a moment of zero gravity. Who needs to go to space camp? Just head down Tsunami Surge to experience weightlessness! 🙂

If you head to Six Flags Over Georgia in the next few weeks, be sure to ride on the Sky Buckets, as you’ll get a great birds-eye view of many of the slide pieces for Tsunami Surge, as well as for the Bonzai Pipelines, which is another awesome water slide element you’ll find at Hurricane Harbor. I’m sure glad I’m not in charge of putting those puzzle pieces together!

Hurricane Harbor may look like this today, but it is coming together VERY quickly, and in just 59 days, it will be an incredible tropical oasis right outside of Atlanta, Georgia. And the best part? Hurricane Harbor admission is included with your park ticket price. Are you ready to make some waves???

Opening Weekend for Six Flags Over Georgia is 10 Days Away!!!

March 5, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

I serve in a compensated role as a Six Flags Supermom. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own, as always.

Six Flags Over Georgia is kicking off the 2014 season in just 10 days. I CANNOT WAIT to get back down there! I’ll actually be headed down on the 22nd to take a peek at how the most anticipated addition, Hurricane Harbor, is coming along. Here’s a recent pic that went up on the Six Flags Over Georgia Facebook page of some installations happening right now:

While Hurricane Harbor won’t be open in 10 days, there will be PLENTY to see and do. The park has 14 thrill rides like the Georgia Scorcher, Dare Devil Dive and BATMAN. The SkyScreamer, which was new last year, is the tallest ride in the park (and #1 on my list of rides to go on when I get there in a few weeks, as the view of the Atlanta skyline is supposed to be AWESOME!).

Additionally, you’ll find more than 21 family-friendly attractions at Six Flags Over Georgia, including favorites like Monster Mansion and Thunder River. There are also interactive areas designed with toddlers and preschoolers in mind. I also really appreciate that Six Flags Over Georgia has more than 15 healthy menu options, as well as a line of gluten-free offerings. There’s something for everyone!

Make a Trip to Six Flags A Bargain

The best way to get get maximum value at Six Flags Over Georgia is to get a Season Pass. You’ll get unlimited admission in 2014, including to Hurricane Harbor and to Fright Fest in the fall. You’ll also get to enjoy special “bring-a-friend-for-free” days, exclusive ride time events and unlimited admission to all over Six Flags theme parks, should you be planning to travel to other parts of the country this year.

So, see you there???

Six Flags Over Georgia Fright Fest: Awesome Thrills, Day or Night

October 11, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

Thanks to Six Flags Over Georgia, for naming me a Six Flags Supermom and partnering with me for this compensated opportunity. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

As we are getting closer and closer to Halloween and are being fully immersed in all things spooky right now, I just want to give a special shout out to all the fraidy cats out there. Raise your hand if you could never get through a full episode of Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark?, even once you were far too old to be freaked out by it.

Yup, that would be me. I still can’t watch that stuff, so nobody send me Youtube clips or you’ll cause me to go hide in my closet with my flashlight.

So haunted houses, night-time corn mazes and all of that scary stuff just isn’t my thing. Even if it is done extremely well, like Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia. For those of you who love to be scared (and there are SO many of you! I don’t get it, but to each his own…), I’ve got some more information to share with you on how you can spend your evenings with Six Flags. Just bring an extra pair of jeans, as you just may have the pants scared off of you. Don’t say you weren’t warned!

Thrills by Night

On weekend nights throughout October, you’ll find zombies, Vampires and ghouls roaming throughout Six Flags Over Georgia. For 2013, there are some brand new attractions that are going to make fans of fear totally freak out (but that’s what you want, am I right?)!

Monstrosity Championship Wrestling – It’s Frankenstein vs. Dracula or a Werewolf vs. Zombie at this unbelievably frightening show! Watch age-old monsters battle it out in this amazing epic battle.
Terror Trail Backwoods Bloodshed – The cannibalistic carnivores are back and more brutal than ever. Visit the Bloodtown Lumber Yard where the murders began years ago and try to survive where so many before have not. (Additional fee required)
Asylum – Dr. Fright releases the mentally insane from the institution. The most evil, sadistic patients are escaping and roaming the grounds near Axis Asylum!! (Additional fee required)
Kill Island –As chaos runs wild in the streets of Six Flags, groups are formed and factions begin fighting, the secrets of Kill Island are revealed and the evil just might catch guests as they escape from the island. ! (Additional fee required)

In addition to these new attractions, you’ll also find 5 new scare zones. These are basically great places to do a little trespassing, and then really regret it!

Mummy’s Tomb – Beware as mummies terrorize anyone who dares to disturb their slumber. It is a life or death race before the Pharaoh casts his curse to forever entrap anyone that ventures into his tomb.
Monster Graveyard –Dracula is building an army with everyone’s favorite classic monsters intent on terrorizing those who make the mistake of entering the Monster Graveyard.
Dracula’s Lair – Dracula and his brood of bloodthirsty vampires are hungry and have been waiting for prey! The Monster Graveyard culminates in this den of the undead.
Freak Show – Step right up to see some of the most grotesque creatures Dr.Fright has to offer. Stare in wonder at the half man/half animal mutants!
Zombie Quarantine – Dr. Fright wages mass chemical warfare in the British Section of the park to build an army of zombies to help Baron von Vile retain control of Fright Fest.

And of course, fan favorites will be on hand this year, including attractions like the Terror Train, The Last Ride, and the scary show Dr. Fright’s Dead Man’s Party.

So all of that sounds like something that would cause me to have multiple heart attacks because I’d be SO scared! But if you love the scary element of Halloween, then you pretty much can’t do it bigger and better than Six Flags, so be sure to go and check it out!

Thrills by Day

As for me and my crew, we are much more interested in what Six Flags is offering guests during the day. And they have a TON!

It’s all about family fun on weekend days. BUGS BUNNY’s Spooky Town is the hub of much of the fun, and that’s where you’ll find trick-or-treating, pumpkin painting, spooky story time and other fun surprises.

Kids are encouraged to wear their costumes and register for the costume contest at the BUGS BUNNY World Theater. I love the costume element, as my little ones want to wear their costumes pretty much any chance they get!

And speaking of costumes, I absolutely love that you’ll find some of the loveable characters in the Monster Mansion getting in the Halloween spirit and sporting their costumes, as well!

Perhaps what I’m looking forward to the most, though, is a brand new feature for 2013: the Lickskillet Harvest Festival. In the playground area, they have arts and crafts, festival foods and photo opportunities set up. Fall festivals are one of my favorite things to do this time of year, and I think it is so awesome that I can get a taste of my favorite thing to do this season while also having an awesome day at Six Flags with my family.

Operating hours for Fright Fest are weekends only (including Friday nights) now through October 27th. The park is open 6pm to midnight on Friday, October 18 and 25. It is open from 11 am to 11 pm on Saturdays and noon to 10 pm on Sundays. The transition from daytime thrills to nighttime frights happens at 6pm, and if you happen to still be there with little ones at that time, you can pick up a ghoul-b-gone ring for your child to wear. All scary creatures roaming around will be warded off by that ring! I really appreciate that Six Flags thought of this idea. Now does the ring come in adult sizes, as well???

If all of the fun stuff happening this month at the park wasn’t enough of a reason to come check it out, you should also be aware that Six Flags Over Georgia 2014 Season Passes are currently on sale at the absolute lowest prices of the year. If you purchase them, you are treated to unlimited visits for the rest of the 2013 season as a bonus. Woo hoo! And when you purchase a Season Pass four-pack, you get a free upgrade to a Gold Season Pass, which includes free admission and free season parking to any Six Flags Theme Park. This offer expires October 27th, so jump on it before prices go up!

You Won’t Believe What is Coming to Six Flags Over Georgia!

August 29, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 4 Comments

I am serving as a Six Flags Super Mom with Six Flags Over Georgia, which is a compensated opportunity. As always, all opinions shared are my own.

I have been on pins and needles waiting for this morning for about a month now. I finally get to let the cat out of the bag on some BIG news.

No, it isn’t a baby.

No, I’m not moving.

No, I’m not the Powerball winner that hasn’t claimed their millions yet.

My news is EVEN MORE AWESOME! (Ok, maybe the Powerball thing would have been slightly more awesome…)

Today Six Flags Over Georgia has announced a MASSIVE park expansion that is going to surprise and delight everyone who sets foot in the park.

Hurricane Harbor

Oh friends, I was so excited about this idea from the moment I heard about it and tried to envision it. And when I saw this beautiful rendering of what it will look like this time next year, I swooned! This all-new water park element of Six Flags Over Georgia is going to be yet another AWESOME answer to the worry some have about just how much fun Six Flags Over Georgia can be if you either have young kids or if you just aren’t a roller coaster person. I already mentioned some of my findings when visiting Six Flags Over Georgia with young kids, myself, but Hurricane Harbor is going to take the fun factor to a whole new level!

You are looking at 7 acres of space that Six Flags Over Georgia is turning into a Caribbean landscape. This is a place to go, kick your shoes off, and RELAX! One of my only disappointments about living in Chattanooga is how far we are from a beach. But if I just head 2 hours south to Six Flags, I can get a tropical getaway, right inside the park.

Opening Memorial Day 2014

My calendar is already marked for opening day of Hurricane Harbor. And what a perfect choice: the unofficial first day of summer! If you live within driving distance to the park, I hope you will check it out next year, as well. One thing I can guarantee you, based on what I already know about how Six Flags Over Georgia runs its business, is that you will be absolutely delighted by your experience. They insist on providing nothing less!

Hurricane Harbor Attractions

I wanted to give you a run down of the new elements that will be in this part of the park (which is replacing the old amphitheater/concert area of the park…no roller coasters will be harmed in the making of Hurricane Harbor!).

Gigantic Wave Pool – Hurricane Bay

This 38,000 square foot pool will have rolling waves up to four feet high!

Dual Slide Complex – Calypso Cobra

You have to be at least 48 inches to ride this thrill ride, which incidentally, is the first of its kind in the world! Four riders at a time will barrel down an enclosed 5-story drop before plunging into a 40-foot wide bowl. But that’s not the end of it! Right at the end, you’ll be sent perpendicular to the ground and will be suspended in a moment of ZERO GRAVITY! Omg, I can’t wait!!!

Multi-Slide Complex – Bahamas Blaster and Runaway Pipeline

Two riders at a time will go down a dark watery tunnel that twists and turns with 180 and even 360 degree turns for the Runaway Pipeline. Riding with their family and friends in an inner tube, guests will careen down a dark watery decent through the enclosed tunnels and soar down 180 and 360 degree curves. Also part of this complex, the Bahamas Blaster takes you down a four-story drop into a gigantic bowl and hurls you around before dropping you through a corkscrew chute into the splash pool below.

Children’s Activity Area – Paradise Island

This is the place for the little adventurers to get a taste of adventure! Paradise Island is an interactive water playground that includes three giant water-dumping towers and hundreds of interactive water elements. Island-goers will also find water gadgets, climbing nets, tipping buckets and six slides!

I Want to Go!

I bet you want to know where to go to get your 2014 season passes, am I right? Just click on the link to purchase Six Flags season passes (and check out the AMAZING deals they are offering the 2014 season pass early birds. They have never offered more extra perks than they are offering this year!).

The Six Flags Over Georgia Shockers

August 17, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 6 Comments

About a month ago I went to Six Flags Over Georgia with my family. Six Flags is known for rides like this:

Seriously amazing stuff. But, um, not so much for toddlers and preschoolers.

Six Flags Super Moms and Two Shockers

So why the heck was I there? I have joined forces with Six Flags Over Georgia as an official Six Flags Super Mom for the next year. Check out the video that Six Flags put together with me telling you more about what I’ll be doing this year as a compensated ambassador and some of the surprising things I learned about the park!

Shocker One: Six Flags Really Is Fun with Little Kids!

I’m going to be honest with you (like always!) and tell you that when I was preparing for my visit to Six Flags Over Georgia, I was open-minded about what I might discover, but quite skeptical about how appealing the park would be to parents of young children (think 10 and under…or really any child who wouldn’t want to ride a roller coaster). I mean, what is there to do at a park known for its roller coasters except for maybe a handful of kiddie rides?

Well, it turns out that there is a TON of stuff! The Looney Tunes characters, for one, have an entire section of the park dedicated to them and to all of their shenanigans. You can meet and greet the gang, watch some fun live shows, and ride several different rides that are intended for the little ones. But this is by no means all that there is for young ones to do!

Skull Island

My kids had a very decided favorite in the park, and it is something that I’d never seen before: a splash/water zone right inside the park, itself! It is called Skull Island and it is where my husband and the girls spent most of the day while I toured the park with the other Super Moms There are some great water slides and plenty of fountains and waterfalls for the young and young at heart to splash around and cool off in. I think it is an absolutely fantastic addition to the park and can help ensure that anyone who isn’t a huge fan of roller coasters (or who just isn’t tall enough to ride them, yet!) can still have an AMAZING time at Six Flags Over Georgia.

Shocker Two: The Food is GREAT!!!

Theme parks and good food don’t typically belong in the same sentence, but here goes: Six Flags Over Georgia has delicious food! We were served lunch while we toured the park, and every single thing we sampled could be found in the park for purchase. We tried turkey burgers that were REALLY good (no…really….moist, flavorful…not like any turkey burger I’ve ever had, and I eat turkey burgers regularly! Best ones I have yet to taste!). They even had taco salads (a personal favorite! What a treat!) and gluten-free brownies. And let me tell you, if brownies made without wheat can taste this good, then wheat no longer has any business being in any brownies from here on out. They were out of this world, you guys.

Six Flags also offers burritos, wraps, and other outside-the-themepark box offerings. And do you want to know why? Because they do a FANTASTIC job of listening to their customers! Six Flags wants to offer what people want to eat, and as food trends and dietary restrictions change, they want to make sure that everyone can have an delightful experience in the park, not only while enjoying the rides, but also while enjoying the food! I also saw an employee preparing by hand some amazing looking caramel apples in one of the shops. Don’t those look delicious?

And just in case those apples aren’t enough for your sweet tooth, just turn around and see if you can find anything else to tempt you!

I captured about 10% of the candy in this particular store. What a fun place to take your child for a special little treat! 🙂

I was expecting Six Flags over Georgia to be a fantastic place to take tweens and teenagers for a vacation or even just a break from the usual, but I was truly shocked to discover how much fun it is with young children. And I was shocked by easy it is to find food on site that won’t give you indigestion or leave you feeling totally gross. I will be heading back to Six Flags in the next few weeks to take a closer look, and I have a feeling that the park with surprise and delight me even more the next time around.

Have you ever visited Six Flags Over Georgia or any other Six Flags parks? Have you been with small children before? Do you have any questions or concerns about planning a trip to Six Flags, either with young kids or not? I’d love to share your thoughts with the park staff!
