Six Flags Over Georgia opens today for its 43rd season. The park, at 275 Riverside Parkway in Austell, is open weekends only until May 21, when it will begin operating daily. The park will also be open every day for spring break from April 2 to 11.
New events for the 2010 season include The Looney Tunes Dance Off with the famous Looney Tunes characters; the Bamboozle Roadshow Festival on May 23, which includes bands Hanson, Good Charlotte and Dick Clark's Face the Music, where participants test their music skills during an interactive game show. Also new at the park is the Crazy Horse Deli and the M-Porium, a retail location that will feature M&M and Mars candy favorites and souvenirs.

You nailed it.
The cheap season pass is Six Flags' primary problem and they don't seem to understand that. Teenagers are sent there daily with no supervision and freely roam and take over the place. They break in lines, use foul language, and have no manners. Who would want their small children to be subjected to that?
As a result, families who would pay full price and generate more profits for the park are driven away and into the parks in Orlando. Every family I know will not go to Six Flags anymore but regularly drives south to visit Disney and Universal.
I really expected the story to say Six Flags opens for their 43rd, and final, year. The headline will soon state that if they don't get some 'commonsense' and realize they are killing their business with the too-cheap season pass.
