MABLETON, Ga., March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Six Flags Over Georgia opens its gates for another season of thrills and family fun on Saturday, March 15. Headlining the Opening Day festivities is the debut of Georgia Gold Rusher, a new revolutionary roller coaster expected to strike gold with park visitors.
"As the park's 12th coaster and the world's first free-spinning gondola coaster, this attraction represents our team's commitment to delivering unmatched thrills, immersive entertainment and lifelong memories," said Greg Fuller, general manager at Six Flags Over Georgia. "With a new roller coaster and a multitude of enhancements throughout the park, this season will build on our park legacy, bringing new energy and excitement for our loyal fans and future park guests."
Georgia Gold Rusher is a first-of-its-kind attraction, featuring free-spinning seating that deliver a different experience with each ride. Guests board one of two gondolas facing outward and are launched back and forth on a 590-foot, U-shaped track at speeds of 60 mph and heights up to 144 feet. Punctuated by dynamic water features, the unique ride experience is packed with three gravity-defying "airtime" (weightless) moments on gravity stall ramps, and four unique airtime sensations on the coaster's central hill.
Georgia Gold Rusher stats include:
- Height Requirement: 52"
- Top Speed: 60 mph
- Elevation: 144 feet
- Length: 590 feet
- Airtime Moments: 7
- Launch System: LSM: Linear Synchronous Motor
- Ride Manufacturer: Intamin
Inspired by Georgia's historic 19th century gold rush, the roller coaster's immersive theming is just one example of the Six Flags Over Georgia's renewed investment in immersive storytelling and improving the overall guest experience. Aimed at breathing new life into the park, a host of theming enhancements and additional upgrades will be made throughout the park this season.
Six Flag's Over Georgia's dining receives considerable investment with three new dining concepts, fresh menu options, improved service operations and a new executive chef who oversees the park's refreshed culinary vision.
The park operates on weekends March 15 through May 18, including daily operation for Spring Break April 5 to April 13. Hurricane Harbor water park is scheduled to open May 24. The 2025 season features an extensive lineup of special events, from new festivals like Summerbration (May 31 to July 29) to familiar favorites like Holiday in the Park (Nov. 22 to Jan. 4).
