Six Flags White Water is a 70-acre (280,000 m²) water park located northwest of Atlanta, in unincorporated Cobb County. Opened in 1999,as Six Flags White Water Atlanta it is one of four separate gated Six Flags water parks in the Six Flags chain, after originally opening as White Water Atlanta in 1984 by Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation.

Six Flags White Water is a water park located on U.S. 41 in Marietta, Georgia, in the northwestern suburbs of Atlanta. American Adventures was a previous addition to the park until leased by Zuma Holdings in May 2008.

The large parking lot was used as a satellite parking facility for the 1996 Summer Olympics. In the summer of 1998, the park was the site of an E. coli outbreak, which received national publicity because one of the children infected was the child of Atlanta Braves baseball player Walt Weiss.

Six Flags operates another amusement park in the Atlanta area. The park is Six Flags Over Georgia, which is located in Cobb County, in Austell and been open since 1967.
