AUSTELL, Georgia, United States--During the annual Holiday in the Park wintertime celebration at Six Flags Over Georgia, 500 guests took part in a family tradition during the most magical time of the season and placed pickle-shaped ornaments - provided by Pier 1 Imports -- on a Christmas tree, thus setting the world record for the Most Christmas Pickle Ornaments placed onto Christmas Trees, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
The ornaments were placed onto Pier 1 Imports Christmas trees lining the park entrance.
“Holiday in the Park is bigger and brighter than ever before and tonight, our guests were able to create a new family tradition during the most magical time of the season,” said Park President Dale Kaetzel. “Each guest who participated in our record attempt took home their very own Christmas pickle ornament to place on their tree each year, thanks to Six Flags Holiday in the Park and our partners.”
The Christmas pickle ornament is a long-standing tradition, spanning hundreds of years. Legend has it that the pickle ornament is hidden in a Christmas tree and on Christmas morning, whoever finds it first, gets an extra present and good luck
To celebrate the momentous achievement, 500 park guests kept the fun going during a family-friendly snowball fight with plush snowballs as part of Six Flags Snow Day, presented by Hallmark Channel. The event was postponed a week due to a real snowstorm, which blanketed the Metro Atlanta region with up to a foot of snow.
Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Over Georgia was recently named among the best holiday events in Georgia.
This annual celebration transforms the park into a winter wonderland with dazzling Christmas trees and lighting displays, exclusive holiday shows, delicious seasonal menu offerings and many of the park’s most popular rides
