When Six Flags Over Georgia opened in June 1967, it became the first
theme park in the Southeast. Although the park is best known today
for its high-speed roller coasters, this book recaptures its earlier
years when it was devoted to the various periods of Georgia’s
history. Six Flags Over Georgia revisits such classic rides and
attractions as the Log Jamboree, Tales of the Okefenokee, Jean
Ribaut’s
Adventure, the Krofft Puppet Theater, the Happy Motoring Freeway,
and many others. It also explores how the park’s focus changed and
expanded over the decades and takes a look at some of its classic
advertising and souvenirs.
About the Author
Author Tim Hollis first visited Six Flags Over Georgia during its
opening season. A recognized authority on Southern roadside history,
Hollis has written two books for Arcadia Publishing about his
hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, plus numerous other titles on
Southern tourism and baby boomer pop culture for the University
Press of Mississippi and Stackpole Books. In Six Flags Over Georgia,
he delves deep into the personal collections of long-time park
employees, as well as his own archives, to document the park as his
fellow baby boomers so fondly recall it.
