August 16 is National Roller Coaster Day! Today is the day that people are encouraged to enjoy their favorite amusement parks and get on their favorite roller coasters. While we might not have any roller coasters locally in the CSRA, we do have them nearby. Let's kick back and discover some roller coasters in Georgia and South Carolina.

We decided to select roller coasters from Six flags over Georgia and Carowinds.
