Editing Six Flags Over Georgia (section)

===The 1970s===
In the early 1970s, Six Flags began augmenting its supply of costumed characters with creations from various Sid & Marty Krofft television series. Characters from ''[[H. R. Pufnstuf]]'' began appearing in the park in 1970, with characters from ''[[Lidsville]]'' added in 1972.<ref name="Hollis 2006"/> The 1970 production in the Krofft Puppet Theater was based on ''H. R. Pufnstuf'', as well. These characters left the park after the 1974 season as Krofft decided to open its own amusement park, [[The World of Sid and Marty Krofft]], in downtown Atlanta.<ref name="Hollis 2006"/> In Lickskillet, the Drunken Barrels flat ride had replaced the Wheel Burrow, and in 1972 Six Flags debuted the fully-restored [[Riverview Carousel at Six Flags Over Georgia|Riverview Carousel]] on a hilltop adjacent to the section. This carousel, purchased from the defunct [[Riverview Park (Chicago)|Riverview Park]] in Chicago, was built into a pavilion modeled after its original home.<ref name="Hollis 2006"/>
 
For the 1973 season, Six Flags added its second park expansion, the Cotton States Exposition, a development four years in the making.<ref name="Hollis 2006"/> In 1969, general manager Earl McKoy first proposed that the park install a wooden roller coaster, an idea to which Angus Wynne wasn't very receptive.<ref>[[#Hollis|Hollis 2006]]: 104</ref> By 1971, however, the concept was approved, and designer [[John C. Allen]] and the [[Philadelphia Toboggan Company]] were contracted to design the ride, which opened in 1973 as [[The Great American Scream Machine (Six Flags Over Georgia)|The Great American Scream Machine]]. The Scream Machine, the largest roller coaster in the world at the time, was the anchor attraction for the Cotton States area, which was inspired by the 1895 [[Cotton States and International Exposition]]. In 1974, Six Flags added two new rides, the Mo-Mo the Monster [[Octopus (ride)|Octopus]] ride in the USA section and the Phlying Phlurpus spinning ride in Cotton States; Mo-Mo would later move to Cotton States, as well.<ref>[[#Hollis|Hollis 2006]]: 108</ref> The Spanish section received a number of children's rides for the 1975 season.<ref>[[#Hollis|Hollis 2006]]: 67</ref> After the end of that season, the Happy Motoring Freeway was removed to make way for the Great Gasp parachute drop, which would be the park's new attraction for 1976.<ref>[[#Hollis|Hollis 2006]]: 91</ref>
