Locals are in an uproar over plans to build a “waterslide coaster” at Georgia’s Lake Lanier – which is infamous for its troubling past.
The ride will be part of the new Fins Up Water Park at Margaritaville at Lake Lanier Islands, which will open on May 4, according to its website.
The waterslide coaster — known as the “Apocalypso” — will “redefine aquatic thrills,” the park website promised.
Officials attended a ground-breaking ceremony for the ride on Wednesday, WSB-TV reported.
