Six Flags Over Georgia to Reopen Friday; Goliath to Remain Closed

Lima, OH, October 14, 2026 —

Six Flags Over Georgia will reopen on Friday, four days after a guest fell from the Goliath roller coaster in a fatal incident. The Goliath will remain closed while investigations continue, according to the information provided about the reopening.

The park’s reopening and the ride’s status are separate: the park is set to resume operations, while the coaster involved in the incident will not reopen at this time. No information was provided about whether any other attractions or park operations will be affected.

The available information does not identify the guest, specify the date of the incident or name the agencies or organizations conducting the investigations. It also does not provide details about how the fall occurred or indicate whether investigators have reached any conclusions. The cause of the incident therefore remains unspecified.

It is also unclear whether the Goliath’s closure is expected to last beyond the period of the ongoing investigations. No further reopening timeline for the coaster was provided. The park’s Friday reopening is the only broader operational update available; the information does not include details about any changes to park hours or access.

For now, the stated plan is for Six Flags Over Georgia to reopen Friday while the Goliath remains closed. Further details about the incident, the investigations and the coaster’s future operating status were not provided.
