Look! Up in

the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a roller coaster?

Six Flags Over

Georgia recently opened for weekend operation and will also be open for

the rest of this week for Spring Break. The park added two new thrill

rides last year to all of the rides and attractions patrons have grown

to love. There will be a new addition to the park this Saturday, when

Superman Ultimate Flight accepts riders.

Superman Ultimate

Flight is a rollercoaster that lets passengers feel as if they are flying

like the Man of Steel. Passengers take their seats and are tilted forward

into flying positions. They travel up a 115-foot lift hill and then are

taken on a wild ride through curves, spirals and the first ever pretzel-shaped

inverted loop at 65 miles per hour.

Of course there

are dozens of other rides at the park including Deja Vu, a coaster that

takes passengers forward and backward over an enormous drop at speeds

close to 65 miles per hour, and Acrophobia, which drops standing passengers

161 feet and stops them 10 feet from the ground. If you need something

a bit tamer there are bumper cars, log rides, a carousel and the Monster

Plantation.

There are also

a number of live performances including a magic show, the Gotham City

Circus, concerts, the Wild West Comedy Gunfight Show and more. There will

also be several special concerts and events throughout the year. Sugar

Ray will perform their hits on May 18 and a Gospel Jubilee will take place

June 1. Atlanta Fest, a four-day series of Christian concerts and events,

will take place June 19-22. Country Music Week will be July 21-28. There

will be a Latin Music Festival Sept. 8 and, of course, Fright Fest, weekends

in October.
