New roller coaster opens at Six Flags

AUSTELL, Ga. — There's a new roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia.

Twisted Cyclone includes:

• 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 along 2,600 feet of track at speeds of 50 miles per hour
• The feeling of weightlessness through a 360-degree zero gravity roll

Twisted Cyclone replaced the Georgia Cyclone. The park offered members of the media a preview on Wednesday. The new ride will feature a classic wooden structure combined with a steel track. That allows for multiple flips and a smoother ride.

“Our guests are going to be blown away by the unbelievable features of this coaster," said park president Dale Kaetzel.

Guests will ride in custom coaster trains modeled after a classic 1960s sports convertible.

The ride replaces the Georgia Cyclone which closed in July 2017.
