Cornado at Copper Creek Farm in Calhoun, Georgia Continues the Trend of Rides at a Pumpkin Patch

Copper Creek Farm is a massive pumpkin patch experience located just outside Calhoun, Georgia. You’ll find all the regulars like a corn maze, hayride, great food and areas for kids to play, but you’ll also find unique items like pig races, a pumpkin cannon, pumpkin/chicken animatronics and a new great ride called Cornado! The lines between family entertainment and a theme park continue to be blurred as animatronic figuresand rides at a pumpkin patch were rare a decade ago, but now are becoming more common. New for Copper Creek Farms this year is a flat spinning ride called Cornado. The Cornado is manufactured by Amusement Devices & Manufacturing (ADM Rides) that is appropriately based in Schaller, Iowa.

Fright Fest, Kid’s Boo Fest and Oktoberfest Return to Six Flags Over Georgia

It’s fall and as the weather turns cooler and the trees begin to change it also means it’s time for spooky season at our favorite theme parks. It seems like every park has a Halloween or fall event now, but one of the originals is Fright Fest by Six Flags with the park celebrating its 30th anniversary of the event in 2024. This year Six Flags Over Georgia is essentially operating 3 events simultaneously with Fright Fest, Kid’s Boo Fest and Oktoberfest all happening together in September and October.
