(BROLL) Six Flags Over Georgia—the Thrill Capital of the South just outside of Atlanta—announces the all-new Twisted Cyclone roller coaster is now open. Twisted Cyclone is a combination of a classic wooden structure with a modern steel track for a smoother, sleeker and more thrilling ride than ever before. The coaster features three head-over-heels inversions, 10 airtime moments, a 75-degree initial drop and a weightless 360-degree zero gravity roll, among other features.

AUSTELL, Ga.--()--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.”
