COBB COUNTY, GA — As the weight of the COVID-19 pandemic eases and more people are getting vaccinated, Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags White Water recently updated their COVID-19 protocols for mask-wearing guidance.
Fully-vaccinated Six Flags team members and guests no longer have to wear masks in the park, officials said, and are only recommended — not required — for unvaccinated visitors. And since May 22, you no longer have to make a reservation to visit the parks.
Additionally, there are no more temperature screenings to enter the parks and social distancing is not required.
