Georgia Cyclone was a wooden roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, Georgia, USA.
History
Georgia Cyclone was built at a cost of approximately $4 million and opened on March 24, 1990.[1][2] It replaced Hanson Cars and re-used the former ride's station as its queue building. The antique car ride was relocated elsewhere within the park.
In July 2017, Six Flags Over Georgia announced that Georgia Cyclone would close. Its last day of operation was July 30, 2017.[3]
On August 31, 2017, Six Flags announced that Georgia Cyclone would be replaced by a Rocky Mountain Construction I-Box roller coaster named Twisted Cyclone.[4]
