In 2025, the park added Georgia Gold Rusher — the world’s first Ultra Surf roller coaster from Intamin — making it more exciting than ever.
For thrill-seekers, the roller coaster lineup is extraordinary. Goliath and The Riddler Mindbender are consistently ranked among the best steel roller coasters in the country by Amusement Today.
