American Adventures, the Atlanta area small amusement park in Marietta, GA, recently announced its closure via the park’s website.
On their website, it read “Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be closed until further notice. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”
The park was built as an addition to Six Flags White Water. Starting in May 2008, Zuma Holdings began leasing the park and eventually moved to a pay-per-ride system. Six Flags season pass holders did not have included admission to American Adventures.

I would've done this a long time ago. Send the rides to SFOG, expand WhiteWater.
I skipped it last year. It would have been the day after SFOG trip for me. I went straight to Birmingham and Lake Winnie in the same day. Had to avoid the tiny things.
So SFI is closing a second park in one year. Never made it hear but new about it. but I can't say I'm surprised White Water is the money maker and SFOG isn't all that far away.
Now the Geauga Lake people will be all over this, still whining about why they weren't given notice from Cedar Fair that the park was closing so they could enjoy "one last ride."
Moved from paid admission to pay per ride? Yeah, that was probably a killer right there.
Six Flags sold the Park in 2008 to Zuma Fun Holdings. Shapiro didn't close it Down, Zuma Did.
The news report I saw said the park was being leased.
Two years ago at least I wondered why it was listed as an excluded property on my Six Flags season pass along with Frontier City. They sold Frontier City first and then it finally made sense why American Adventures was on there when Zuma did come forward and leased the park. It was a late in spring development that I did read on Screamscape. It was in 2008.
It might come back eventually but with the nature of the message and I also wanted to be on top of the in thing right now: closure.
was the attraction Popular. It seems a have a few rides worth moving but most of the attraction seems overly basic.
With SFI promising additions in 2011 would it just be better to move the rides and expand the water park.
Birthday Parties, Group Events, Go-Karts and more at American Adventures! Permanent closure notice!
"Effective immediately, American Adventures is closing its doors. We are grateful for the opportunity to have served the surrounding Atlanta community for the last 20 years. Thank you for your patronage!"
I guess SFI now has a few flats to install in parks next year. Sad to hear though.
Ideas please!
