 I walked into Six Flags Over Georgia on a regular Saturday afternoon last fall, and by the time the sun went down, the entire park had transformed. Fog rolled across the walkways, scare actors appeared out of nowhere near the ride queues, and a roller coaster I'd ridden a dozen times in daylight suddenly felt like a completely different attraction lit up against a dark sky.
