Six Flags over Georgia and White Water will remain closed until at least mid-May as COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, continues to spread across the state.
Six Flags previously announced that parks would be closed through March, at which point the situation would be re-evaluated. The park said in a statement Monday it will open in mid-May “or as soon as possible thereafter.”
