It's a splash of nostalgia at Six Flags White Water in Marietta tomorrow, as the water park celebrates its 40th anniversary with a lineup designed to douse guests in both excitement and nostalgia. According to WSB-TV, park Director Lindsey Lambert gushes over the upcoming festivities, "We're beyond excited to kick off another unforgettable season at Six Flags White Water" and promises a summer bursting with "thrills, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime."
The celebration is not just about marking four decades of wet and wild fun; it's also about catering to today's thrill-seekers and chill seekers alike. Several rides are hitting significant anniversaries, including the Atlanta Ocean Wave Pool, Little Hooch Lazy River, and Activity Pool with Lilly Pad’s Crossing – all blowing out 40 candles on their metaphorical birthday cake. As FOX 5 Atlanta reports, this includes the Tornado slide which is whipping up excitement for its 20-year mark.
This season introduces elevated experiences starting with the park's Opening Day party. The event features astoundingly fun acts like the Funtime Drumline and a live DJ, with the park also doling out an exclusive 40th Anniversary Pin for seasoned pass holders. Upgrades around the park itself are part of the birthday bash, including swifter security screenings to curtail those tedious lines, aesthetic enhancements at the entrance, and even a new Low Sensory Zone for guests who might be overwhelmed by the usual barrage of aquatic acoustics.
But let's talk turkey – or perhaps fried Oreos and Blue Bell ice cream, which are now on the menu as part of the slew of new grub hubs peppering Six Flags White Water. Buccaneer Bay is also seeing improvements, with a fresh coat of paint, and spruced up water features as part of its youth-oriented refurb. In a statement obtained by WSB-TV, the addition of a remodeled Coastal Finds store promises to offer "unique water park product" which likely means one-of-a-kind ways to part with your money.
Were you looking for the proverbial cherry on top? The park's Memorial Day sale might just be it, with free upgrades promising to amp up the value of season passes. Paving the way for unlimited visits, the royal treatment doesn't stop there, with pass holders gaining access to both Six Flags Over Georgia and White Water. As per FOX 5 Atlanta, these deals start as soon as the gates open on May 11 for weekends, and switching to daily operation from May 25.
