Six Flags Over Georgia to Remove 27-year-old Wooden Roller Coaster

Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO

Tuesday, July 18th, 2017

It's your LAST CHANCE TO RIDE The Georgia Cyclone! This iconic coaster goes away FOREVER on July 30.

The gargantuan wooden coaster is based on the famous coaster with the same name at Coney Island. This modern interpretation of that classic wooden roller coaster is a legendarily intense ride for a whole new generation. Except this Cyclone will be doing it Georgia-style.

The amazing wooden architecture unfurls over 2,970 feet of track. But before you go anywhere you’ll first have to climb up a 95-foot hill. It’s so high there’ll be plenty of time to savor the long haul up to the great adventure waiting on the other side.

There is nothing like the feel of a classic wooden roller coaster. This is where it all began, and there are some things that just can’t be improved upon. Slicing through a narrow-tracked series of hills and slopes, you’ll be hugging the track in a time-honored design that has been a fan favorite for decades. Now you’ll see why the classic thrills stand the test of time, shooting down the track at 50 miles per hour.

Your train will take turns and hills at top speed like it’s nothing, and there’s a lot of airtime to lift you right out of your seat. But you better hold on tight, wooden coasters are famous for having some kick!

You’re in for nonstop relentless fun, soaring over an inspiring wooden structure, descended from one of the ultimate legends in the history of amusement parks.
