Six Flags Over Georgia: Where History Gets Whipped Around Like a Funnel Cake!
Six Flags Over Georgia! The name itself evokes images of rickety pirate ships, thrilling roller coasters, and enough funnel cake to feed a small army. But beneath the screams and cotton candy lies a surprising fact: this theme park is steeped in history, well, sort of.
What Are The Six Flags Over Georgia |
Six? More Like Seven Flags If You Count the Line for Goliath!
Okay, okay, so there aren't actually six flags waving over Georgia (though with the wind whipping through your hair on Goliath, you might feel like you're flying your own flag of victory). The park celebrates the six different flags that have flown over the state throughout its history, or at least the history of the land that eventually became Georgia.
Here's the whistle-stop tour:
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
- Spain: ¡Ol�! Dust off your flamenco shoes and practice your "arr"-gh pirata impressions. This section has a charming (and slightly inaccurate) portrayal of the Spanish conquistadors.
- France: Bonjour tristesse? Not at Six Flags! This area is a celebration of French culture, complete with delectable crepes (be sure to grab one, they're magnifique!).
- Great Britain: Break out your best British accent (think Mary Poppins, not Borat) and pretend you're sipping tea with the Queen. This section features classic British fare like fish and chips (because, stereotypes!).
- The Confederacy: Buckle up for a trip through...well, let's just say this section is a history lesson with a healthy dose of "Yikes!".
- The United States of America: Merica! This section is a red, white, and blue extravaganza, with thrilling rides and classic American eats.
But wait, there's more! Six Flags Over Georgia throws their own flag in the mix with a section dedicated to the state itself. Get your fill of Southern charm and down-home hospitality here.
So, it's a history lesson AND a thrill ride?
Not exactly. But hey, if you learn a fun fact or two in between dodging screams on the Mind Eraser, then that's a win-win, right? Six Flags Over Georgia is all about good times, adrenaline pumping rides, and enough fried food to make your cardiologist weep.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
Pro-Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, because you'll be doing a lot of walking (unless you score a coveted spot on the Hurricane Harbor shuttle).
