Six Flags Over Georgia Debuts Twisted Cyclone Roller Coaster
Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO
Tuesday, May 29th, 2018
Just in time for the Memorial Day weekend holiday, Six Flags Over Georgia — the Thrill Capital of the South — today announced the all-new Twisted Cyclone hybrid roller coaster is now open. Recognized as one of the top new coasters for 2018, Twisted Cyclone offers maximum thrills by combining the best of both coaster worlds — a classic wooden structure integrated with a modern, steel track for multiple inversions and a smoother, more thrilling riding experience.
“Six Flags pioneered the groundbreaking and innovative hybrid roller coaster technology,” said Park President Dale Kaetzel. “This state-of-the-art thrill features the extreme characteristics of both steel and wood to deliver an incredible, heart-pounding, over-the-top ride experience unmatched in the Southeast.”
Twisted Cyclone highlights include:
-
An insanely steep 75-degree initial drop from nearly 100 feet into a jaw-dropping reverse cobra roll sending riders perpendicular to the ground;
-
Three hair-raising upside down inversions and 10 airtime moments at speeds of 50 miles per hour;
-
The feeling of weightlessness through a 360-degree zero gravity roll;
-
One-of-a-kind custom coaster trains modeled after a classic sports convertible; and
-
A smoother, sleeker, more intense ride than ever before.
Six Flags Over Georgia is open daily through August 5.
