As is the case with most amusement parks, the main draw for visitors to Six Flags Over Georgia is the vast and varied collection of rides and attractions. The intensity level of the rides ranges from mild all the way to "max'' and covers three main categories - thrill rides, family rides, and kids rides. One of the most popular categories - especially for adult visitors - is the thrill ride category where most of the rides' intensity level charts as "max''. Some of the most popular thrill rides at Six Flags Over Georgia include the Superman: Ultimate Flight roller coaster; Acrophobia, the park's 16-story drop ride; the three-loop Mind Bender coaster; the Georgia Scorcher, one of the tallest and fastest stand-up roller coasters in the Southeast; and the Ninja, a steel coaster that's positively packed with twists, dips, and turns.

The family ride category consists entirely of attractions that are appropriate for families and children and are categorized as either mild or moderate when it comes to intensity level. Some of the most popular include the Peachtree Square Sky Buckets, a wonderful way to get a bird's eye view of the entire park; Thunder River, an exhilarating white water rafting ride; and the Monster Mansion, the park's own haunted plantation. The kids rides category consists of rides that are especially appropriate for the park's littlest guests and include the Riverview Carousel, the Dodge City Bumper Cars, the Fiesta Wheel, and the Thomas Town Playground.

When it's time to take a break from the rides and shows for a minute or two, park goers have the option of visiting Six Flags' extensive arcade where both old-school, classic favorites and state-of-the-art, brand new video games are well represented. Many options in regards to classic amusement park-style food are also available, as are an extensive number of shopping venues where visitors can purchase souvenirs, have photos taken, or enjoy some truly unique finds.
