Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell announced that Georgia Surfer is the winning name of the new Ultra Surf coaster opening this summer.
Georgia Surfer will be a first-of-its-kind attraction featuring the combination of a roller coaster and a water ride.
Last summer during their inaugural Coaster Fest event, Six Flags Over Georgia announced the new Ultra Surf coaster coming to the park and opened up the naming of the new attraction to fans. Over 2,500 name suggestions were submitted and over 27,000 votes were cast for the top name.

Georgia Surfer was created by Intamin Amusement Rides. The new construction will take place in the former Splashwater Falls area, neighboring Thunder River and Pandemonium.
Riders will launch forward and backward along nearly 590 feet of track, reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, hitting the ride’s 144-foot peak before coasting down into a splash pool. Free-spinning seats ensure no two rides are alike.
Six Flags Over Georgia will open for the 2024 season on March 2. Georgia Surfer, opening this summer, will bring the park’s total coaster count to 13.
