Six Flags White Water

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Six Flags White Water is a water park located on U.S. 41 in Marietta, Georgia, in the northwestern suburbs of Atlanta. American Adventures is also located at the park, and opens earlier (in spring) and closes later (around Halloween) in the year than the water park.

Six Flags White Water was originally opened as "White Water Atlanta" in 1983. Built and owned by the Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation, it was sold to Six Flags Inc. in 1999.

Six Flags has operated another amusement park in the Atlanta area since 1967. That park, Six Flags Over Georgia, is also located in Cobb County, in Austell.

The large parking lot was used as a satellite parking facility for the 1996 Summer Olympics. In the summer of 1998, the park was the site of an E. coli outbreak, which received national rather than local publicity because one of the children infected was the child of Atlanta Braves baseball player Walt Weiss.
