Which Six Flags?

Ok, so I made reservations to stay at Barnsley Gardens (May), and I'm playing golf there too. My wife though, is bugging me about going to Six Flags, because my daughter has never been, and she discovered there are 3 around the Atlanta area. What one should I go to? We're both 30, and our daughter is 6. Any suggestions? One seems to be a waterpark, but we get plenty of that waterpark stuff where we're from. How far is it to the other two? Is it a brutal drive? I heard the freeways around there are "interesting". Anyone in-the-know?

The one in Marietta (American Adventures) is only a few minutes down I-75. Six Flags over Georgia (also more expensive) is way cooler IMO, but it's way on the other side of the city, about 20-25 minutes west of the city on I-20.

Thanks. Well, I think we'll check out American Adventures. I can't believe how much there is to do in that area. All of this, and I haven't asked about Atlanta yet. I'm certain my entire trip will be consumed without ever going to Atlanta.
