Six Flags Over Georgia has decided to be open this weekend and next for what the park is calling "bonus weekends."

While in the past the park has closed these two early weekends in November, the park decided to remain open to give guests more chances to visit the park before Holiday in the Park gets underway Nov. 19. The park will be open 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday and the same hours next weekend.

(Six Flags Fright Fest ended Halloween night).

Guest visiting these upcoming weekends will get a chance to see the installation of Holiday in the Park lights and the construction of the new Justice League Battle for Metropolis 4D action ride coming in 2017.
