The Georgia Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia. Opened in 1990, it is a mirror image of the legendary Coney Island Cyclone. Ten feet higher than the Cyclone, it stands at 95 feet (29 m) and has a track length of 2,970 feet (910 m) and a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h).
Initially, the sign at the top of its lift hill said that the Georgia Cyclone was "The Most a Coaster can Beeeeeeee!" It would be replaced by one that simply says "Stay Seated."
For the 2012 season parts of the Cyclone track was covered with Rocky Mountain Construction Topper Track, which covered approximately 30 percent of the roller coaster for a better experience on the ride.[1]
