From Six Flags Over Georgia on Instagram:

We are thrilled with the successful launch of new festivals and live entertainment this year, including an upcoming Fright Fest that’s sure to be more horrifying than ever.

When it comes to delivering fun and safe attractions, we won’t rush the construction process. That means we’re moving the official grand opening of Georgia Surfer to 2025.

Our team is working diligently to address construction and supply changes, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We’re confident it will be worth the wait.

From Six Flags Great Adventure on X:

We are thrilled with the opening of our new Savannah Sunset Resort & Spa, along with the major enhancements made to our iconic Giant Wheel, our all-new Safari Base Camp, and the excitement of the new Fright Fest debuting this fall.

When it comes to delivering fun and safe attractions, we won’t rush the construction process. That means we’re moving the official opening of The Flash: Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great Adventure to 2025.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. We’re confident it will be worth the wait.

Well at least now they will hopefully open at the beginning of the season, and have decent landscaping…

I am curious what announcement coming for rest of legacy SF parks, as I assume legacy SF had some contracts already in place?

How is it legacy SF parks can never open new attractions on time but other parks do? They say it’s supply chain related but all parks around the globe face the same issues. I think it’s BS and now to think that CEO sits on the “new board” of Six Flags shows you can be a total screw up but it doesn’t matter, it’s who you know.

Flash was apparently bought very late, and was destined for China, so I kind of understand. That being said vertical construction progressed very quick. Also Prowler opened on time, and even sat on an old ride site.

Did they ever have a planning and design dept with as much experience as CF’s?Through all the bankruptcies and management shuffling?

I still see the influence of people I knew in P&D at CP in the early 00’s at current CF projects.

At least they let people know ahead of time... that's a big step-up for the SF name.

The big test will be all the ‘25 coasters Legacy SF contracted, Wrath whatever at GA, the steampunk bike at NE, and the project at MM. I feel like the SteamPunk theme is 5-10 years late, so curious how long new SF rolls with it.

Both chains had short and long term capital planning, the amount of resources and discipline for deadlines is what separated the two. I’d expect some projects that were in the works to be delayed while they unify their plans, and bring some consistency to the process.
