===The 1960s=== Six Flags Over Georgia opened to the public on June 16, 1967. Attractions first available included the Log Jamboree [[log flume]] ride, Jean Ribaut's Adventure (a boat tour similar to Disney's [[Jungle Cruise]] attractions),<ref>[[#Hollis|Hollis 2006]]: 75</ref> the Six Flags Railroad, two driving attractions (the Happy Motoring Freeway and the Hanson Cars), two Satellite [[flat ride]]s, the Tales of the Okefenokee [[dark ride]], the Casa Loco [[Funhouse|tilt house]], the Sky Lift/Astro Lift [[Gondola lift|cable car]] and the park's first roller coaster, the Dahlonega Mine Train. The park's live entertainment offerings included a dolphin show, the [[Sid and Marty Krofft|Krofft]] Puppet Theater and the Athenaeum, later renamed the Crystal Pistol.<ref name="Hollis 2006">[[#Hollis|Hollis 2006]]</ref> After a successful first season, plans were set in motion to expand the park, and adjustments were made to existing attractions based on visitor feedback. A second Log Jamboree flume was added, a new show debuted in the Krofft Puppet Theater and the effects inside the Tales of the Okefenokee were upgraded with the help of Krofft Studios.<ref name="Hollis 2006"/> The park relocated Casa Loco out of its Spanish fort to make way for the Horror Cave haunted house attraction; a new adjacent building was built for Casa Loco's effects, which would become Casa Magnetica.<ref name="Hollis 2006"/> However, the largest improvement was the addition of the park's first new section, Lickskillet. Located outside the park's railroad tracks and named after a [[Adamsville (Atlanta)|Georgia mining town]] in the late 19th century, Lickskillet added three new rides β the Spindle Top (a [[Rotor (ride)|Rotor flat ride]], the Wheel Burrow (a Chance Tumbler) and the Sky Buckets, the park's second cable car ride β along with several craft shops and a shootout show performed on the street. In 1969, Six Flags added still more attractions, the Sky Hook observation tower, which was relocated from Six Flags Over Texas, the [[Mini Mine Train (Six Flags Over Georgia)|Mini Mine Train]], the park's second roller coaster<ref name="Hollis 2006"/> and the Chevy Show domed theater building.{{citation needed|date=July 2011}}
