1970s Six Flags Over Georgia

[@markcole883]

Man this brought a tear to my eye, so many family memories from the 70s and 80s. Many family members gone now, a different place back then at Six Flags. I’m blessed I got to experience the park back then.

Oh man, that place was magical as a kid right? I remember...there use to be separated sections or areas...like one was the Continental area or something and I can't remember any of the others. I remember getting fruit juices and whatever flavor you had your plastic juice container was shaped into that fruit. Like a bunch of grapes or an orange. I remember the Great Gasp and the Log Ride. I seem to recall the log ride going by a little bamboo garden. I remember people walking their "invisible" dogs...holding onto a leash that stuck out in the air in front of them attached to ...nothing! Anyone else remember that? And the crazy house,..NO the HOUSE OF GRAVITYYYYY!! And if you stuck around til closing time you got to see fireworks..talk about memories...

What great memories

[@Lawrence-ho9eq]

I remember this well simple but simple park , and the bumper stickers they put on your vehicle that you wonder how you were going to peel back off when you got back home 🏡😞😊❤ so many good memories . Long lines to wait in back in the days of early Six Flags over Georgia.The cherry berry popsicle sticks were my favorite treat there. Being a kid then sure was fun😊❤❤❤

Awesome!! Thank you for posting! Growing up in the 70’s, we’d have a family reunion day during the summer with my mom, dad, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles! All the adults hung out together, and us kids roamed the park and rode all the rides! We’d all meet up to eat, then head off again to ride more rides! This brings back fun memories of Six Flags over Ga back in the good old days! I still love SFOG, but it was so much more fun in the 70’s and 80’s!

[@hume7171]

I completely agree. Do you still attend seasonally---and live in Atlanta? I miss living in Atlanta. My last place was Midtown---March, 2015, in which I've been miserable ever since. I'm home, in crazy Anderson, S.C..

[@darlingditzypinkfloweremoji]

@maridean56 thank you for sharing!! It’s really nice to see my home park and what it looked like in the past 😊😄😄😊 You had me at “us kids roamed the park and rode the rides!” I wish I could have done that!

[@Binks943]

Nice video. My dad loved the Chevy Show.

[@LawrenceLong-l2v]

I remember the Cherry Berry type of popsicle , the wild west gunfight show, the Okefenokee Tales boat ride, the river boat historical ride ,the racetrack cars, the Contemporary Theater , the Crystal Pistol western shows , the Haunted cave, the Dolphin shows, the Chevy show, the wheel barrow, and of course the log flume and DM Train. And all the other rides they had at the time😅😅.

This brings back memories!! I love Six Flags Over Georgia!!!

[@SportsLiveInTheAtl]

Wow we went to six flags over Georgia every summer in the 70s at the end of summer camp. I remember all of that. Wow 😲

[@livylpstv8896]

Ahh, when Six Flags over Georgia was all fun and happiness.. I wish it were still like that today. I had a season pass last year and almost every weekend I would go, and just seeing the environment change was... Terrifying. My dad said it was never like the way it is today back when he was growing up.

[@popetzm1]

I think they're trying to get it back that way I have noticed that Six Flags has been purchasing flat rods like the flying phurlpus that used to be by the screen machine now it's across from monster plantation it's called Wonder Woman School of Flyers

[@darlingditzypinkfloweremoji]

Livy Lpstv I have no idea what you're talking about. Six Flags Over Georgia is like Disneyland to me.

[@TRoll-vv9kq]

@Matt Beeman I dont know WHAT the heck you're on man, but it didnt start going downhill til like a decade ago. I was a regular through most of the 90s and it really didnt start getting overcrowded until the late 90s early 2000s.

[@johnkempton5269]

Born in 1967. Thanks for the memories 😊

[@sappersteel532]

This park opened the day i was born. 😊

[@ffiftycupsc]

WOW!!!! this is six flags! I remember and miss it so much!

[@Jaabo37]

This is great! Thanks for sharing. Good to see Mo-Mo the Monster, the original Hanson Cars and the Carousel before the trees got so big around it. And cool that you got some on ride views

[@popetzm1]

thanks 4 showing this especially mo mo the monster..i used to operate that ride when it was blue n yellow

[@hume7171]

This is a wonderful post. I remember 1975 Six Flags.

[@tommythomason6187]

That was the park's best era, IMHO. They had a Spook House that was neat, a train that circled the park and a rough roller coaster calle The Dahlonega Mine Ride.

[@Queenmarie88]

That was great! Thanks for sharing your memories.

[@Brad772006]

So cool, I remember when I was young my mom's favorite ride was momo monster. The octopus looking ride.

[@strangebrew5545]

That is cool to hear because my mom actually cried and prayed to get off of MoMo but I loved it myself.

[@popetzm1]

lol i used to operate mo mo in 1987 1988 and transfered to the wheelie and mine train

[@BriarPatchProductions]

Who came here for Tales of the Okefenokee footage and sadly didn’t find any?

[@karaspears1994]

I was looking for some of the Chevy Show...

[@BriarPatchProductions]

Kara Spears Is it in here?

[@gavaporchuck4876]

Do you have any of the Jean ribbeaus river boat ride where thunder river is now

[@gregpayne4939]

Love this video !!! Takes me back

[@davedthomson]

I’m guessing this is very close to, if not, the 1976 season given the presence of the Bicentennial Theatre. If nothing else, it, like so many other Six Flags parks of the time, where a whole lot prettier than they are today. Most were parks, in the true sense of the word, with lots of foliage, flowers, and tree coverage. Not the case at all today.

[@chrisferrell21]

calming music..........nice

[@Skylersfunny24]

Song from the Mario muffet adventures season 2 tornado

[@philliphouston8171]

[@popetzm1]

wish u had footage of the horror cave and the drunken barrels and phlyin phlurpis

[@zoobly3]

Man I remember the cave! My parents first took me and my brother through that creepy place when I was six. The vampires breathing under glass in the coffins before you went down the slide to exit was the shit. The slide was always sticky though. Remember the creatures from the black lagoon that came up out of the water after you went in? Oh, what about the giant mouth and red carpet tongue that you entered the cave through. I always found it oddly reassuring that you could also exit into the gift shop. I can't explain the many ways in which that shaped me as a person, to this day. I absolutely love scary movies. Not the torture porn garbage that seems so in vogue at the moment, but the classics. It's all been downhill ever since The Shining. That was the apex imho.

[@Fish-qn6rm]

I Don't Know When My dad was born The Viper Used To See The Rides 2020 Is Great I Wish They A Added the Original Rides Hanson Cars Are The Same But No Roof

[@tectonicD]

MO-MO the monster. Hanson Cars. Scream machine.
