 Jul. 29th, 2005 -- Six Flags Over Georgia is offering some great ways to end your summer on a high
note this year. The Last Gasp of Summer marks the end of weekday operations at
the park, and the final drops of The Great Gasp. Two weeks of special concerts
and events are planned during the celebration!
During The Last Gasp of
Summer, guests of the park will have an opportunity to be one of the last riders
on The Great Gasp parachute drop ride. Riders on August 13 and 14 will receive a
limited edition collector's button commemorating the final drops on The Great
Gasp.
Built in 1976, The Great Gasp has been a favorite with guests
seeking the thrill of a 200-foot parachute drop. Sporting magnificent views of
the Atlanta skyline, the Great Gasp has stood as a local icon, carrying over 15
million riders to lofty heights and back. Final rides will take place August 13
and 14, after which The Great Gasp will be retired following almost 30 years of
service.
Six Flags Over Georgia has teamed up with Publix supermarkets to
deliver "School Supplies for Cool Kids." On July 31, receive $15 off a daily
admission ticket at the park front gate with your gift of school supplies.
Supplies will go to underprivileged children in the Atlanta area.
Kids
Fest brings one last concert series of the summer to Six Flags Over Georgia! The
fun starts Saturday, August 6 with pop star Aaron Carter at 5 p.m. Immediately
following is recording artist Christy Carlson Romano. Wrapping up Sunday, August
7 is Atlanta native Raven-Symone at 5 p.m. All concerts are free with park
admission.
In addition to the music, kids can drop by the Axis Arena
during Kids Fest to play the all-new Kids Next Door trading card game at the
interactive treehouse. Over in Bugs Bunny World kids will find balloon animals,
games, modeling school tryouts, face painting and much, much more.
It's
not too late to pack in multiple days of fun this summer! Get a season pass at
Publix for just $54.99 and come both days. Six Flags Over Georgia is open for
daily operation through August 14, then weekend operation through October 30.
