Olia B.December 2, 2019You will spend the whole day here and it would not be enough:) only problem is lines:(
Hop in line for a major ride a few minutes before park close. The lines are cycled through so everyone in line by park close can ride!
Robert Wargolet IIIAugust 28, 2012Bring your ticket stub to BerrySimple Yogurt across Grand Ave. for 10% off self-serve frozen yogurt! Yum!
Lillie DavisJuly 17, 2013Get there early & drink plenty of water. That sun this time of year is fierce!!
Brandon BoseApril 15, 2017The lines are terrible but the rides are so worth it I can't wait to try the joker
Megan FeldhauserJune 30, 2010Loved it!! Ride as many high thrill rides as you can!! The Superman and Batman ride definitely were the best though
Erin GAugust 9, 2015Six Flags as a business is a rip off if you're only going for one day, especially when you get rained out! Goliath was worth the wait, though.
Christopher HoustonJune 10, 2013It was way too commercial (advertisements everywhere!!) and I felt like the park looked old and outdated. I had a much better experience at Busch Gardens and Islands of Adventure in Florida.
Wear a see-through bag if you don't have anything to hide! This will get you through the entrance turnstiles faster.
Will i amAugust 23, 2014Strolling at GA Park after getting cancelled from work. My nephew and I bump into Scruffy.
- Batman backwards is awesome. X wing is the second best coaster and the best is raging bull.
Yari SanchezJune 2, 2010Empty during any holiday. Hurrican harbor is a great place to veg out. Wave pool is not all that. Rent a tube for the lazy river or else they will kick you off after going around 1x. Locker $17!
Chad SingerJuly 18, 2011Try a little JLube powder on your back for the water slides. It makes the slide smoother on your back and u really FLY!- Becki WestMay 19, 2013Do not forget he sunblock. You should see some of the burnt people here! Ouch!
Keith MalesJuly 9, 2013I keep applying for a job here. I really want to dress up like a looney tunes character and put my arm around children all day for photos.
Six FlagsJune 22, 2010Using a locker in Hurricane Harbor? Check out the ones past the bathrooms. Most people use the locker area before the bathrooms, leaving the second area wide open.
Kristine ScalaJuly 1, 2010I went to great american yesterday. It was a blasted, got all the roller coasters except Iron wolf and the new one little dipper from kiddie land. We don't like Iron wolf cause it bounces our heads
Go during the week (Tues and Wed are the best) if you don't want to wait in long lines.
Matt BoucherAugust 13, 2010The BBQ place in the main food court is awesome! Ya get a ton of food for what you spend
Turkey leg and funnel cake...that's all I need to say!
Get a Souvenir Sports Bottle for free refills on soda all day, and 99 cent refills for the rest of the season!
wear good shoes to walk in. avoid backless shoes for comfort and convenience (won't have to take off shoes for coasters)
Bring your own food and drink or prepare to spend a small fortune
Get The Flash pass and forget about waiting! Water park has them too now!!
Wael JJuly 3, 2015Well,, the flash pass is only for extreme people with extreme money.. If you're normal then then don't take it.. #ripoff
Sally HudsonJune 24, 2013AWESOME....especially the Grand Finale of the dancing,singing and fireworks!
