UPDATE! The attraction has been extended through January 24th.
Pricing is now $49.95 per vehicle, which comes to $63.45 after taxes and fees.
All the details are below in the original post, but the rule is that you can have as many people in a vehicle as you have seatbelts for.
We’ve seen a lot of complaining on social media about the price hike for the extension — it was previously $35 for weeknights and $45 on weekends/holidays.

There’s a new holiday light attraction in metro Atlanta, and it looks spectacular!
The drive-through animated light show is called Candy Rush. It is billed as a delicious, whimsical wonderland.
Candy Rush opens for the first time ever on Friday, November 20th at 6 p.m., in the parking lot of Six Flags White Water.
The dazzling display was created by World of Illumination, creator of the largest animated light shows in the world. It features millions of lights, as well as hundreds of animated displays synced to music.
Better yet, there is a Groupon deal that saves you a few dollars — scroll down for more info.
The nightly light shows have been extended thru Jan. 24th, 2021.
The animated displays include 40-foot tall candy canes, sugar plum fairies, a gingerbread village, and more. You’ll drive through a 500-foot long tunnel of lights that serves as Santa’s magic portal, with popular holiday characters appearing along the route.
On opening night, Friday, Nov. 20th, Santa himself will be on hand to wave to all those attending.
Bonus: For every ticket sold for the opening night show, the company will donate a ticket to a first responder.
