The Scream Machine ride, once the tallest rollercoaster in the world, is all that remains visible of the popular tourist attraction after waters from the nearby Chattahoochee River in Atlanta flooded into the park.
The west Georgia theme park — the largest in America’s Southeast — has been nicknamed ‘Six Flags Under Water’ by American media.
However the park’s communications director Kendell Kelton is confident the attractions will re-open in time for the weekend if the water recedes. Damage — particularly to the all-wood Georgia Cyclone roller coaster — from the muddy waters is likely to be significant.
