Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Over Georgia

Nothing screams the holidays are here like an awesome light display. This year Six Flags Over Georgia is debuting its new Holiday in the Park event featuring more than one million lights, live shows, several of the theme park’s most popular rides and of course the big man himself – Santa Claus.
My family and I had blast at the preview event exploring our hometown park all decked out for the holidays. We were wowed by the spectacular light displays, and impressed with the transformation of the park into a magical winter wonderland. My two teens were thrilled to find their favorite rides lit up and running.
