Calling all rollercoaster lovers in the ATL! Six Flags, Georgia’s iconic theme park is getting brand new rollercoaster, and it’s a can’t miss experience!
What’s the Georgia Gold Rusher all about?
Six Flags Over Georgia’s ‘Georgia Gold Rusher’ is a “first-of-its-kind ride [that] combines high-speed adventure and soaring elevation with free-spinning gondola seating and dynamic water features.”
The Georgia Gold Rusher will have tons of amazing elements, including:
- Spinning gondola seating with guests facing outward
- 590 feet of U-shaped track
- Multiple high-speed launches
- Speeds of up to 60 miles per hour
- 144-foot peak
- Dynamic water element featuring a scenic splash
In other words, according to Six Flags,
[The] free-spinning gondola seating delivers an exhilarating experience like no other. Riders sit in outward-facing circles on two free-spinning platforms mounted to a massive gondola. The gondola launches back and forth on a 590-foot, U-shaped track reaching speeds up to 60 miles per hour.
Why is it called the Georgia Gold Rusher?
Inspired by Georgia’s historic 1885 gold rush, Georgia Gold Rusher takes guests on a journey of storytelling and thrill riding alike! Guests will be introduce to William “Willy” Gibson, an eccentric and clever prospector with a mischievous streak to bring a rich new narrative to this exciting experience.
According to Six Flags,
Originally announced with the name Georgia Surfer, Georgia Gold Rusher’s new name and reimagined theming is part of the park’s renewed investment in overall guest experience. Enhancements in dining, décor, storytelling, retail and park décor will accompany the new attraction in beloved areas of the park, including Lickskillet, Retro USA and Promenade.
So get ready for a great time, and enter with a SPLASH! The Georgia Gold Rusher is coming this spring to Six Flags Over Georgia!
