Six Flags water rides may go dry

Officials with Six Flags over Georgia are considering the closure of three of its water rides because of the drought.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports officials with the amusement park called a meeting with Cobb County to go over water restrictions. The rides under consideration for closure are Skull Island, Splashwater Falls, and Thunder River.

Cobb County is reportedly looking to the state's Enviromental Protection Division for guidance on restrictions. There is no timetable for a decision to be made.

Six Flags is scheduled to open March 1st for weekends, and May 23rd for daily operation.
