Six Flags White Water, Water park in Cobb County, United States.
Six Flags White Water is a water park in Cobb County, Georgia, offering slides of varying heights, multiple swimming pools, and areas for floating on artificial rivers. The facility covers a sprawling site with shade trees, grassy spots, and pathways leading to different attractions.
White Water Atlanta opened in 1984, built by Silver Dollar City (now Herschend Family Entertainment) as a sibling to its Branson and Oklahoma City water parks. In June 1998 an E. coli outbreak sickened at least ten children. The park was sold in May 1999 to the limited partners who own Six Flags Over Georgia and renamed Six Flags White Water. Flash Flood Canyon had been added in 1998.
The park's name echoes the White Water park in Branson, Missouri, built by the same company, Silver Dollar City, today Herschend Family Entertainment. It is one of five stand-alone Six Flags water parks and the only one not called Hurricane Harbor. The Little Hooch lazy river is named after the nearby Chattahoochee River.
Lifeguards monitor all areas during operating hours and ensure safety at slides and pools. Lockers, changing rooms, and several food stands are distributed across the grounds.
Six Flags White Water is one of five stand-alone Six Flags water parks and the only one that does not carry the Hurricane Harbor name. In July 2011 it became the first water park in the world to offer a virtual queue system on its water rides, the Flash Pass; nine other Six Flags water parks adopted it in 2012.
