The Georgia Gold Rusher features cutting-edge technology and a captivating design that harkens back to Georgia’s historic gold rush from the 19th century. Guests can expect a thrilling journey on a U-shaped track that stretches 590 feet and reaches exhilarating speeds of up to 60 mph, while climbing to heights of 144 feet.
