Six Flags will make good on Bama bet this weekend
University of Alabama fans can throw some shade this weekend at Six Flags Over Georgia.
The Austell park made a friendly wager in January with Alabama Splash Adventure . The bet was that whichever team lost the College Football Playoff National Championship, it would rename - temporarily- a ride in favor of the winning team.
University of Georgia fans know how that went.
Well, the day of reckoning has arrived.

For two days, the Scorcher will be renamed the Alabama Scorcher.
“While there may be some tears from Georgia fans, we’re excited to welcome all our fans from Alabama for their one chance to bask in their big win,” said Six Flags spokesman Gene Petriello.
Ouch.
Additionally, front gate staffers and ride operators on opening weekend will also be wearing University of Alabama Crimson Tide T-shirts.
