Six Flags is offering you a way to get some anger out on loved ones ahead of the holidays when they might annoy you even more.

The Cobb County amusement park is hosting a snowball fight for the first 1,000 who show up at 1 p.m., an hour before the park opens, on Saturday. (Yes, you have to pay admission into the park.)

The slinging starts 30 minutes later.

Folks will be using "indoor snowballs" similar to these ones sold at Bed Bath & Beyond, said Gene Petriello, Six Flags spokesman.

But there might a realistic air added to the fake snowballs.

Coincidentally, there's a 50 percent chance metro Atlanta could see a inch or more of snow the day before, forecasters have said.

Petriello said this is the park’s first snowball fight, so y’all had better play nice.

There's a lot going on inside Six Flags this holiday season, check out a guide to the festivities here.
