Six Flags ‘reluctantly' renames ride for Patriots after Super Bowl loss

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Six Flags Over Georgia is making good on a bet: renaming a ride for the Patriots after the Falcons lost in the Super Bowl.

The 240-foot tall swing ride has “reluctantly” been renamed as the Patriots SkyScreamer and Park President Dale Kaetzel wore a Patriots jersey Saturday to honor its bet with sister park, Six Flags New England.

“We were hoping Six Flags New England would be renaming their SkyScreamer the Falcons SkyScreamer when they open on April 8, but we still have a lot to celebrate with the debut of our 50th anniversary season and the unveiling of North America’s first-ever permanent drop tower VR ride, Drop of Doom VR,” said Six Flags Over Georgia Park President Dale Kaetzel.
