The Crystal Pistol Music Hall or simply the Crystal Pistol is a 1,000 seat indoor theater at Six Flags Over Georgia, located in Peachtree. It opened with the park in 1967. The theater is a replica of the Atheneum Theatre that opened in 1855 at the old railroad square in Atlanta, Georgia.
History[]
Six Flags Over Georgia opened to the public on June 16, 1967. Among the park's original namesake "Six Flags over Georgia" was the Confederate section, and the centerpiece of the Condeferate section was the Atheneum Music Hall, which was fashioned after the real-life, white-columned Atheneum Theatre that was once located in the railroad square in Atlanta, Georgia. Although the style of Six Flags' theatre was modeled after the vaudeville flavor of the original Atheneum Theatre, the acts shown at the theatre were tailored to the musical styles and tastes of the 1960's. Guests were seated cabaret-style around tables where they could enjoy refreshments from two "bars" (soft drinks only) located on either side of the theatre. For the park's opening year, the Crystal Pistol featured a day show and a night show, both 30 minutes in length.[1]
