Six Flags Over Georgia announces new thrill ride debuting this spring
ATLANTA – Six Flags Over Georgia is coming back this spring with a new thrill ride that’s going to make a splash with guests.
The Georgia Gold Rusher combines high speeds with a free-spinning gondola seating and dynamic water features.
Six Flags Over Georgia’s new Georgia Gold Rusher
What we know:
The ride was previously announced as the Georgia Surfer in 2024 before the change in theme.
Park officials say that the new teeming will pay homage to the state’s 1885 gold rush history and introduce a new character, the eccentric prospector William “Willy” Gibson.
The ride, which is located in the Lickskillet section of the park, will feature themed elements like a mining sled and mine cart.
“Georgia Gold Rusher hearkens back to a nostalgic era of our park, where thematic storytelling was at the forefront of everything we did,” said General Manager Greg Fuller. “This revolutionary attraction and the investments made throughout the park will help enhance our guest experience around every turn.”
The ride features 590 feet of U-shaped track and multiple high-speed launches that will have guests experiencing speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.
What you can do:
Officials say the ride will be running when Six Flags Over Georgia opens in the spring.
The park’s Silver Passes are on sale for $49 and include unlimited visits, free parking, food and merchandise discounts, and access to Hurricane Harbor Atlanta.

How To Watch and Listen to Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Notre Dame
Georgia Tech only had one game last week, but they got an important win against Virginia Tech. Yes, the Hokies are not a very good team, but the Yellow Jackets were very shorthanded in the game and did not have many players available. The bottom three teams in the ACC standings do not make the conference tournament and beating the Hokies helps keep Georgia Tech from that tier of teams. Beating Notre Dame tomorrow night is going to be very important to staying out of that bottom three as well. It would give the Yellow Jackets their second win of the year over the Fighting Irish, giving them the tiebreaker. It won’t be easy to beat Notre Dame on the road, especially with the unknown about who is going to be available for the Yellow Jackets. After this game vs Notre Dame, Georgia Tech faces Louisville and Clemson, two of the best teams in the conference.
The good news for Georgia Tech is that it sounds like they are going to get guard Lance Terry back for tomorrow’s game.
Notre Dame (9-10, 3-5 ACC) has won two of its last three games, including a 74-59 win at Virginia Saturday, reversing a four-game losing streak that began with the Dec. 31 loss to Tech, The Fighting Irish are 7-2 at home this season, including ACC wins over Syracuse and Boston College.
Georgia Tech could accomplish a few things for the first time if they can get a win tomorrow night on the road.
A win on Tuesday would be Georgia Tech’s first on the road this season. The Yellow Jackets’ road losses have come at Oklahoma, North Carolina, Syracuse, SMU, and Florida State. A win on Tuesday would be Tech’s first at Purcell Pavilion since Notre Dame became a member of the ACC. Notre Dame has won all 10 meetings at South Bend since the Fighting Irish joined the ACC. Tech’s last win at Notre Dame occurred on Feb. 24, 1990. A win Tuesday night would give Tech its first season sweep of the Irish since they joined the ACC. The Jackets have split the season series with Notre Dame six times, and have been swept four times.
Georgia Tech has not had a lot of success against Notre Dame on the court. Notre Dame has won 10 of the last 13 meetings and lead the all-time series, 18-14. Tech snapped a three-game losing streak in the series with an 86-75 victory in Atlanta on Dec. 31. The Yellow Jackets are 8-16 against Notre Dame since the Fighting Irish joined the ACC. Only three of those games have been decided by double-digits.
Tech has played 7, 6, and 7 players in its last three games. The Jackets had played 8 or more in every game prior to Clemson, 9 or more in 11 games.
Even with Lance Terry missing 2 of Georgia Tech’s last 3 games, he and Javian McCollum have scored 40% of Tech’s total points (239 out of 597) since the Christmas break (Dec. 28 to the present).
Junior forward Duncan Powell has averaged 14.1 points and 6.1 rebounds over his last 7 games, including three games of 20 points or more. His 23 points vs. Virginia Tech was a career high. The Sacramento State transfer has hit 45.5% (35-of-77) from the floor, 42.9% (15-of-35) from the three-point range, and 70.3% (26-of-37) from the foul line in that stretch.
Sophomore guard Naithan George has scored in double digits in 7 straight games, averaging 11.3 points per game, and has averaged 6.6 assists over the same stretch.
Here is how you can watch tomorrow’s game.

Georgia Bulldogs Schedule Official Visit With 5-Star Offensive Line Prospect
A 5-star offensive line prospect has locked in an official visit with the Georgia Bulldogs during the 2025 offseason.
The college football offseason has arrived, which means that recruiting efforts in the college football world have increased tenfold as teams work to build their future rosters. The Georgia Bulldogs have been diligently working on their future and have landed an official visit with 5-star offensive line prospect Immanuel Iheanacho.
Iheanacho, a 5-star prospect according to 247 Sports is a towering 6-foot-6 and weighs 345 pounds. His stature and skillset make him the quintessential offensive tackle prospect and he will likely be a starter at a major college football program at some point in his career. The lineman has received offers from other high-profile programs such as Notre Dame, Oregon, and North Carolina.
The Bulldogs are set to host Iheanacho this offseason as they hope to nab the highly talented offensive line prospect and add him to their 2026 recruiting class. Currently, the Dawgs have four commits to their class, ranking 14th in the country.
