Six Flags is a great park, no doubt about it. Tons of rides, places to eat, shows to watch.  We spent an entire day at the park and still didn't hit all the rides or shows.

However the cost to park is a little pricey to me which forces me to lower my rating a half a star.  And the wait for rides is extremely too long...but this is an amusement park so what do ya expect, right? I still drop the rating another half star cause of the wait.  And of course anything you buy, especially food, is extremely pricey - I mean why does a bottle of water cost $3??! That is ludicrous.  

I got season passes for $50/person, which I think is awesome cause it pays itself off after the second visit - well worth it.  I usually don't go that often maybe 2 or 3 times a year.  

Anyway, I think the other's ratings for the park are unfair if they are solely basing their ratings on wait times for the rides.  I don't think I've been to one amusement park where you don't have to wait at least 30 mins especially during the busy seasons.

I will NEVER come back to this place.

The staff is generally lazy and rude. The park was a mess even though there was plenty of staff walking around "cleaning".

I was there for over 4 hours and was able to ride TWO coasters because the wait was so long... not because of the amount of patrons, but because Superman broke TWICE while I was in line and Goliath was running TWO cars instead of the normal three.

The coaster lines are SWELTERING hot because they're too cheap to provide fans and air circulators. We abandoned the Batman ride because the warehouse was hotter than the temperature outside.

It's ridiculous to want to pay that much to have such a horrid experience. The food is gross and WAY too overpriced and it's just generally a bad park.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is my choice, and I'd rather drive there ANY day over the 30 minute trip to Six Flags.

My boyfriend and I got season passes last year and this year, so we've been to Six Flags quite a few times. At first it was fun, but the novelty soon wore off (and it does after about three trips). The more times I went back, the more annoyances I encountered.

When I heard the company was going bankrupt, I thought, "How??" Every inch of space is plastered with advertisements, and they charge an arm and a leg plus your firstborn child for not only parking, but also admission, as well as food, games, souvenirs... I'm surprised the bathrooms don't have pay toilets. (Give it time.)

Not only that, but now you're required pay $1 to rent a locker for your belongings, prior to getting in line for a roller coaster. They will not let you get in line if you're carrying anything that won't fit in a pocket. At some point last year, placing your items off to the side of the coaster became "unsafe" (according to the staff). All the coasters worth riding have required lockers. I once thought I'd save some money by bringing my Camelbak filled with water... nope, gotta buy a locker! I'm told, "You can buy a souvenir cup and get free refills." Okay. But now I just paid $20 for the damn cup AND I have to pay another dollar to put THAT in the locker too?!

One of the biggest problems with this park is the lines are not equipped with adequate shade or air flow. Batman, for example, has these "sewer" tubes, faux warehouse buildings, etc. that you have to meander through in order to reach the coaster, and there is no ventilation whatsoever, so it's basically like waiting in a sauna. When you DO finally get to the coaster, you're in the "bat cave" which might as well be the "seventh layer of hell" cave. Goliath's line is always long, and 90% of it has little to no shade. It's no wonder people have passed out from dehydration while waiting in the BLISTERING GEORGIA SUN for an hour and thirty minutes to ride the damn thing. Some extra awnings and well-placed fans (or those misting stations-- sponsored by Starburst, of course!) would do wonders, because in predictable fashion, the only coasters worth riding are usually the ones with the longest lines. Then, for some reason they don't fill a coaster before sending it off. The logical thing to do would be pull single riders to the front and have them fill the empty spots. I have seen coasters go off with half the seats empty. This certainly doesn't help in speeding up the queue.

And the water rides... don't get me started. I've seen more pleasant-looking aqueous material in a public toilet. It may be 100 degrees outside, but there's no way I'm getting drenched in that.

Keeping with Six Flags' theme of "ass raping patrons' wallets", the price of food is ludicrous. "Four burgers and a pound of fries, only $40!" ARE YOU KIDDING? For that price, I expect restaurant-quality cuisine, but the crap served here makes public school cafeteria food look gourmet. Besides, if you're a vegetarian (or worse, vegan), forget it. You're screwed. The first time I went and realized my basket of soggy, grease-infused, vaguely potato-flavored strings was the only thing I could eat for lunch, I was pissed. It's 2009, and I still can't get a veggie burger?

If that wasn't enough, the games are overpriced too. My boyfriend wanted a Batman cape, and one of the games was giving them away as a prize. Of course they lure you in with claims that "everybody gets a prize!" which is true. But the game was $5 per play. There was a gift kiosk not even 20 feet away that sold the exact same capes for $4.95. What?

Perhaps the only amusement I feel after a visit to this "amusement park" is the sick, sad amusement in the fact that smokers are relegated to obscure corners of the park, because they want to "keep the park clean". But people throw their garbage everywhere, and the park looks in no way similar to any adjective that remotely equates to "clean". The smokers are usually the cleanest people; at least we throw our butts in the trash.

I do not think I'll be renewing my season pass next year.

I usually come here during company or special events. It's been a long time when I had to pay to get in here. I certainly wouldn't want to. This place is a lot of fun--from the old, creaky roller coasters to the new, metal ones.

Since I only go during private events, I rarely had to wait for the rides. And that's pretty awesome. Although after a while, I was feeling a bit sick. Riding 5-6 roller coasters in a row a few minutes apart from each other probably did it. Maybe the long lines do serve a purpose, to help you recover. But I would NOT want to wait 1-2 hours to get on a 1 minute ride--especially in the hot, Atlanta sun.

This place is great to go if you can get in for free AND when there isn't much people. Otherwise, it might be a more miserable experience. I give it 3 stars because if you don't come during special, private events, it probably isn't worth it. Otherwise, it's worth it.

I thought there would be a lot more reviews for this place as well.....

Anyways, had a season pass to this place that I didnt use as much as I should have.  Although I put a decent amount of use to it.

If you love roller coasters, long lines, overpriced snacks & drinks, and way too many teenagers, you will love Six Flags.

The best time to go is on weekdays, preferably Mondays or Tuesdays if you are looking for a quick rush and just want to jump on a few coasters and not waste your whole damn day, thats the best time to go.  Specifically either early when it first opens or like 1-5.  The park is practically empty.

Its like once you go to one of these theme parks they are all kinda the same.  Same coasters, but different names.  I wouldnt get the season pass unless your really serious about going a lot (more than 3-4 times during the summer).

I'll preface this by saying I'm super biased and no other park can really hold a candle to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, that being said...

This park is dirty, it's in a really sketchy area of town, and attracts all the wrong kinds of people. Some of the rides aren't bad, which is why it go 2 stars instead of 1. However, most of them aren't worth the wait. I haven't been in several years, mostly because I don't want to waste my money on such a mediocre experience. The only time it was even really worth going was when I managed to get a ticket to Georgia Tech's student only night. At least I knew I wasn't going to get knifed and the lines weren't quite as long.

It has been far too long since last I went to ride rollercoasters anywhere.  Today, a friend and I headed out here to enjoy a day of fun and rollercoasters.  It was a lot of fun!  The park was rather clean today, although I have definitely seen it when it has been rather dirty as noted in previous notes.  I have also been to Dollywood in Tennessee, and I have to say that I like this park over that one, although mostly because of the large numbers of rollercoasters relative to Dollywood.  The biggest problem here is that there is definitely a lack of an easy way to move around the park.  There is a train that moves around the park and a cable car, but the problem is that the two are terminated at approximately the same places, the result of which is that they aren't really a reasonable way to move around the park.

Today, it rained, and, while this meant that the park was relatively empty and wait times were usually less than 10 minutes, there were a couple times where rain caused the closing of various rides.  Additionally, and perhaps more problematic, the park roadways are not built rough enough.  There were lots of times that I saw people sliding and skidding around on the hills as they slid down hills slippery with water.

I would definitely recommend either going in the middle of the week or on a weekend threatening rain, but be sure to wear shoes which are not likely to be dangerous when the ground is wet and slippery.  I would also recommend carrying a belly pack or something that you can reasonably keep on your person and hold wallets, keys, glasses, and any other small items in so that you can keep those with you when you ride the rides.  Additionally, make sure to bring plenty of $1 coins, as those allow you to get lockers at the various rides around the park.  Many of the rides don't allow you to leave your things there, so it's useful to be able to leave your things in a locker.

I checked out the line jumping device they make available.  It allows you to skip the line for one coaster at a time.  On a day like today, this is pointless, since there really was no line.  On the other hand, it doesn't seem like anything less than the "Gold" line jumper device that they rent is worth it either, since the regular one only lets you skip the line for one coaster, and really, you don't get any benefit from skipping that line, since you still have to wait the same amount of time as everyone else, you just don't have to do so standing up in the line.  If you get the "gold" unit, you skip 75% of the line, according to them, but the problem I see is that it's really expensive, and can only schedule you for one ride at a time.  It would be nice if they would allow you to schedule two or three rides at a time.

i am originally from atlanta and grew up visiting six flags at least once a year.  i have great childhood memories of six flags but my memories from 15 and up are another story.  i remember when i was a kid in the 80's that six flags used to have fireworks shows every weekend.  we used to sit on my aunt's patio and watch the show.  that's a thing of the past.  i remember the park being fun, safe, and clean when i was a kid.  going to six flags used to be the highlight of the summer.  that to seems to be a thing of the past.  

as far as the unenthusiastic employees i understand their lack of interest.  i worked there when i was 15 and after being paid less than the federal minimum wage and getting jerked on my weekly paycheck more than once i was not very enthusiastic myself.  the management was full of high school drop outs who were working to support their meth habits.  and as with anything else bullsh!t would flow from the top down.      
overall sfog is waaaaaaaay to expensive.  when i worked there in the 90's we were charging $3 for water and $5 for power aid.  i would hate to see how much it cost now.  there was very little shade and maybe management didn't know but it gets veeeeeery hot in atlanta during the summer.  it's not called hotlanta for nothing.  

it's been a while since i was there and now i hear that most of the rides are glorified death traps.  that doesn't surprise me because maintenance usually is the first thing cut when a company goes bankrupt.  between the $60 passes, $25 parking, and unbelievably overpriced crap they try to pass off as food  you would think this place would be rolling in dough.  guess not.

it's sad to see what has become of six flags.  it is a microcosm of what has happened to metro atlanta.  i used to live near six flags as a kid and the community was nice, safe, and clean,  now it is a borderline ghetto.  it is sad truly sad.

Hey Six Flags, I see that your advertising on Yelp now.  Good for you.  That still does not mean I am going to raise my 2 star rating any higher.

Oh. Bring in a can of coke and only pay 29.99 you say?  Wow, then that means the price of admission is still a rip off.  We have to pay another  $25 for parking remember?  And then if we want to eat at any point in the day, there goes another $25-30.

Your still too expensive, dirty, and sticky. You also have really crappy unenthusiastic employees.  Face it, rides can only get you so far.  
Even if you do give us a "discount" because we brought in a coke can......I am demoting you to one star for poor effort second time around.  You have been using that cheap coke can trick for years now. Tell your crappy marketing department to think of something new.

I'm a total theme park junkie--happy as a pig in mud at any park as long as it has a few funnel cake stands and rides capable of inducing closed head injury.

That said Six Flags is so 'spensive we only go when our good friend gives us free passes.  Good friend also pays for parking and ponies up the ridiculous fee to get our group one of those skip in line thingies.  It sure is good to have a good friend.  

I doubt I'd every go if I had to pay with Martinez's money.  It's always fun but I get annoyed by all the punks, thugs, obese rednecks and people pushing double strollers (aka: my fellow park-goers).  They seem to migrate in large, ultra sloooow moooving  groups and their sluggish pace nearly thwarts our carefully mapped plan to enjoy the very best rides, dozens of times each.  These no money-having, jealous kill-joys also heckle us when we use our skip in line pass to jump them.  Sometimes I stick my tongue out at them, but I only recommend doing this once you're safely strapped in and moving because then they can't catch you and kill you.

The two rides that thrill me the most are Acrophobia (16 story free fall) and Goliath (front row is wicked awesome!).  I've yet to grow the cojones to try the Fearless Freeps Dare Devil Dive, but mostly I don't ride it b/c I'd have to pay extra to do so.  What a bunch of CRAP!

We take protein bars and stuff with us b/c the food is overpriced yuck yuck.  And waiting in line for food wastes valuable coaster riding time.  And also we're really, really cheap.

The worst major amusement park i have ever been to! Six flags should be embarrassed to put their name on this park. They do have really great rides, BUT these are my complaints: - the layout is terrible - rides are frequently shut down - the park feels dirty - $$$ - the rides are great, but the park doesn't awe you in the overall experience like some many other parks i have been to across the country and Canada. It's a warm childlike roller coaster euphoria that you experience when you first enter.

Unfortunately, it's the only one in the state and I am forced to visit if I want to ride locally.  If you get the opportunity, travel to Cedar Point, the home base for roller coaster enthusiasts.

I'm a roller coaster junkie and this place has 8+ of them which made for some good times.  In particular I would recommend Goliath, Superman and Batman.  Pretty much all the steel ones are good but I could do without the two wooden ones, although that's just my personal preference.

A few complaints:

1.  Some problems with the rides.  On three of the eight coasters I rode there were some mechanical problems that caused delays.  This probably wasted about an hour total that could have been avoided if they had both trains running properly on all the rides.
2.  This park talks big about maintaining a "family atmosphere" and goes so far as to say that use of profanity will get you ejected from the park.  Unfortunately the exact true is opposite: there are loads of thugs and trash running their mouth and generally no one available or interested in stopping it.  This is par for the course in most amusement parks but it annoyed me to see such hypocrisy in action here.

We came here at the end of September, so my guess is that it was a lot more enjoyable due to pretty short lines.  But overall we did have a lot of fun.  Also the BBQ joint in the USA section of the park is pretty good, check it out.

EEK!

Disclaimer:  My last trip to this place was so traumatic, I was permanently scarred and will never go back there.

OK, they have some incredible roller coasters.  I saw a huge RAT frolicing in the trash-strewn queue while waiting to board one of the coasters.  I was one of only a very few alarmed people, as if everyone else thought it was normal to see a real, live, uncaged rat the size of a cat in an amusement park.  

Where do I go from there?  Scary people work here as well as visit this place.  And what is it with amusement parks that attract the Obese?  I guess fat people like roller coasters.  Who knew?

They must bribe the public health authorities because this place is so full of trash and garbage, I cannot believe it isn't cited as a health hazard.  Eat the food?  Fuhgedaboudit!

If you want to go to an amusement park, save your pennies and go to Disney.  Pass on Six Flags.

I can't believe I'm the first one to review this place. Come on Atlantans, you know you've been here maybe once just because a friend dragged you.

Well, I have gone 4 times...first time when I first moved to Atlanta, the second time when my friend with kids dragged me, third for a birthday thing around Halloween and I just went again this weekend.

Well, I wasn't a  fan the previous times I've gone. It is so hot in the summer and it's not fun trying to get out of the sun or away from the person in front of you that has a bad case of BO. And a lot of the rides were just not great.

Well, when I went this weekend I had a new outlook. It was overcast so the park was practically empty. I didn't have to wait in a single line for a ride...just had to walk up and get on the ride. Plus they have this new ride called Goliath that is so much fun. So I only recommend this place when you can go during the off season. If it's crowded, just get back in your car and go back some other time.

I grew up going to Six Flags. Born and raised in Georgia I have been attending just about every year since it opened. A few years ago I went to Universal Studios in Orlando and it opened my eyes to what was missing. The guys at corporate Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc. should stop and take a look at what has happened and what could happen with this Georgia property. My son has to visit at least once a year and I find even with the season pass I inevitably spend a large sum of money every time I go. This was the first place that I saw a Cola machine that takes credit cards. Not just for convenience, but because they cost so much. Universal Studios was spotless and clean. It felt clean. It knew how to handle lines and keep us entertained. Six Flags has televisions either blaring loud or video only. The fixtures are worn and old and not just that they are dirty. Gum is everywhere. You can't sit on a curb (limited seating anywhere in the park) without seeing trash or gum. (Tip: buy a pressure washer and use it) I have yet to find a real cold water fountain anywhere in the park. Most of the fountains you can find spit out lukewarm muck that makes you crave the outrageously priced water, sugar and lemon packed with ice. The only redeemable item was the overpriced flash pass that keeps you out of the burning sun in the Goliath line. Gotta love the 90 percent humidity and 100 degree sun with no sun shield for an hour or so and then hope you don't get stuck by one of those nasty trashcans with cola syrup and sugar and those wonderful yellow jackets everywhere protecting their food supply. I always tell myself that next time I'll bring my own spray insecticide to ward off the bees.And then the basketballs bouncing everywhere annoying everyone! Who's bright idea was this. A large basketball being bounced around while families are trying to protect their little children from being run over. Rude, unmotivated, hungover, could care less ---- employees. Don't bother me. I don't know. In the old days the park was the most fun at night. Now I'm terrified to be there after dark, much less my kids being there alone... forget it! The gangs running rampant and the fowl language are horrible. I guess the parking fee keeps going up because they have to clean the parking lot every time the Chattahoochee floods. No wait we are in a drought... what's the excuse? I'm not even going to rate the food. Go to the grocery store, get a cooler and bring your own. The wide expansive parking lot is a great place for a tailgate meal. Try to get one of the limited par benches by the river in the shade if you can!!
All I can say good is thankfully they are keeping the Monster Plantation, the greatest cool-down ride in the park. It's about time they got rid of the moldy Monsters. Hope the new ride is just as good. And lastly, The Goliath rocks. Probably the only thing that would make me go this year. Overall, its quite an experience in neglectful park management. Take your chances here or stay and see our excellent state and local parks that are far cheaper and more fun.

"RIP-OFF ROLL CALL! SOUND OFF NOW!"

Gum everywhere? Check.
Outrageous parking fee? Hell yea.
GANGS of thugs roaming the park? Yup.
Offensive Jesus t shirts and rednecks every ten steps? Yes.
Annoying giant rubber balls being dribbled on your ankles by said gangs? Yes.
Litter everywhere? Check!
Employees strung-out, rude and half asleep? Yes.
Coasters not running more than one train? Got it.
Coasters not running at all? That, too.
Ridiculously over-priced cold and flavlorless slop masquerading as food? And served with a smile!

And these days you might get your ass kicked for asking for directions from a park employee.

Save your hard earned money and hit a Busch or Cedar Fair park. SFOG sucks. Only go if your boss gets free tickets and pawns them off on you.

I'm going to have to say that this is one hell of a sketch Six Flags.

Seriously, what other amusement park produces the following two headlines in the AJC on the same day:

"Reward offered in attack near Six Flags
$5,000 offer: Victim in serious condition after Tuesday assault by at least 10 youths " - a story about a recent beating in the parking lot at Six Flags.

"A seventh-year itch -- to get hitched " - a story of a crazy couple getting married while riding a roller coaster.

And the reason why no one has gotten seriously injured on a roller coaster here is because most of them aren't up and running. I can't remember ever venturing to this dirty, scummy and southern theme park and seen every coaster racing down its tracks.

I say, this place is too much of a gamble...so save your 50 or 60 bucks on a ticket and gas to get there and go see the fish or something at the Georgia Aquarium or hike Stone Mountain for free if you are looking for something touristy to do in Atlanta.

My GF and I went on Memorial Day and had a great time! It must have been the day to go to the lake because the people were not at Six Flags that day. We rode everything we wanted (Superman 2x's/ Goliath 3x's/ Georgia Cyclone 2 x's) and then some. The longest we had to wait for 40 minutes for Superman (it was our 2nd time and we waited extra just to ride in front).

Pretty good in comparison to amusement parks on the East Coast. They consistently add new and improved coasters every couple of years. For the money, an annual pass is the most cost effective way to enjoy this place. You can go for a quick visit after work once in awhile when the crowds aren't nearly as bad. The pass pays for itself in a couple of visits (but the parking can add up).

Off-peak visits are key for me: I love amusement parks, but hate waiting in line for an hour for a two minute ride.

French relations came into town a few weeks back and asked about going to Six Flags.  We Atlantans said a big, giant  "HELLNO" because there have been too many accidents all over the country as of late.

So, as they were a week into their stay here some kid got his butt kicked severely at Six Flags.  For what reason?  I don't care!  If there was a chance my non-English speaking family was to go there before that, it was completely over now.  Nothing rolls well with fighting jerks and French kids who can't speak a lick of English!  I am not subjecting my family to that.

It's sad because this park was fun when I was a kid in the '80's, but the last time I went there was 1998, and I was 20, and over kid crap.  And it was a miserable experience filled with preteen Eminem wannabes and we could not get out of there fast enough.  

Go there if you have kids and can watch them.  Otherwise, don't go at all.

Ahhh Six Flags...I have had many a good time here over the years.

One of the most memorable times ws with my high school Physics class where we had to take dorky measurements on all the rides.

This location is differentiated by others by the Antebellum flair in some portions of the park...like the Monster Plantation...one of my faves!  "Join the monsters at the mansion, you're invited, to a picnic, monster picnic, where humans are allowed to visit...Join the monsters at the mansion, you're invited..." and it goes on and on.  Damnit the monster song is now stuck in my head!

They also have some good wet rides, nice for the Georgia summer heat. They try to keep on the cutting edge with the best rollercoasters, as well.

Not necessarily the best theme park, but hey, I moved here from California, so my standards are bit higher.

Parking is a bit problematic. They do not accept credit cards for parking, which forced us to drive to the gas station to get cash. Once we are inside though, (no trolley car in our parking area, it seems), we were able to get to a lot of the rides (except for Superman - the weather got in the away, so the park closed early).

It's not too different from Six Flags Magic Mountain in California (which is currently on sale. What's up with that?), except that you have the added pleasure of humidy. Dress light and drink lots of water.

Good place to go for fun rides. Just be sure to get there early and have plenty of cash on hand for food and stuff.

Wow!!!!
What an utter disappointment! I cant say I feel ripped off for the price, as badly as others; I only had to split gas costs & pay for a $10.00 refill-for-free-all-day-cup. Even so, I feel this place is over priced & under delivered.
- General appearance: OK. Not spectacular, not horrible. It looks like a theme park & appears to be one.
- Theme I took away: Marketing Executives who own this account lack creativity! Or, "Everything is for sale". I really want to bring my kids here to see paid for advertisements for a trip to Las Vegas & some over priced moisture cream.
- Cleanliness: If I could I would ask the health inspector to come check it out. The eateries were down right gross. Sticky & nasty...at 11am! There wasn't even a lunch rush yet.
- Staff: Like the rides: roller coaster. Some were fantastic. Many were horrible. Rude & bored. I know the work is monotonous but please, this is supposed to be a fun place. SMILE!
- Management: I didn't see any except the lady at the ice cream shop who lectured my wife when she asked for a different ice cream cone. The reason she asked: It was melted before she even received it & a fly was doing the back stroke of death on the top. We were told the ice cream wasn't cold enough so that was the way it is. hhmmm.

All in all I can say I will NOT be going back. On top of everything else, the only ride I was really, really hopping to try was broken! I kept a good out look maybe it will get fixed, maybe we can still make it. Well it did get fixed about an hour before closing. My huge group of 4 was turned away. We were told that they were not taking any more riders. Then a group of 6 kids were allowed up to the gate to get in line.

So long six flags. Hello any where else!

Typical Six Flags. I enjoyed the rides and at the time they were current. Nothing stuck out more than any other Six Flags. To all those reviews that hate on this park, I read all the complaints and to me those are typical Six Flags issues, what are you expecting? Just have fun and stop being a negative nelly. Go to Disney World and stop cluttering up my Six Flags.

I've only been here as a kid.  My review of this place may change as I return as an adult.  The one negative thing I remember was that the park was very rustic, dirty, and spacey.  It takes a long time to get from ride-to-ride and reminds me of a carnival.  On the positive side, the rides here are among the coolest and most thrilling you can get.  They have the legendary Batman ride and some good coasters and flume rides.  It's not anything like theme parks in Orlando, however.  It's very crude, like a carnival or fair.  I personally hate carnivals/fairs but this place is okay.  I liked it alot when I was a kid but when I look back on it Im not too sure I would enjoy it now.  We'll see.

Being that I am from the west coast, and am used to mediocre theme parks, this place really impressed me. It was clean, fun and there were plenty of activities for people of all ages. I didn't feel like I was going to get shot or be involved in some gang violence..Which was an extra bonus. Trust me...this place is great. I'd like to come back if my in laws ever go again.

I was not impressed.  This was more of a hiking adventure than amusement.  Six Flags over Georgia has got to be the steepest and hilliest amusement park I've been to in life.   It's a great place to get some cardio in between rides because walking the distance of steepness feels like a high impact treadmill workout.  As a result it was difficult for me to enjoy the rides. Overall I didn't enjoy my visit.  I had high expectations because I used to go to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.  Unfortunately Six Flags Over Georgia doesn't compare. The only highlight was my sugary funnel cake.

The best rollercoaster park that I have been to in the east coast. The people there are friendly. I would defiantely recommend going to six flags.
