AUSTELL, Ga. — It’s back!

Six months after it closed, the Great American Scream Machine has reopened at Six Flags Over Georgia.

The popular roller coaster closed in November 2021 for several upgrades. Updates included a new track, new wood throughout the ride, a renovated queue house and over 400 gallons of fresh paint. Six Flags envisions the changes will offer guests a smoother ride and better experience.
