History[]
Conceived as a mirror image of the world-famous Coney Island Cyclone, Georgia Cyclone was designed by Curtis D. Summers, and manufactured by the Dinn Corporation. Georgia Cyclone opened to the public on March 3, 1990.
In the 2011-2012 off-season, Georgia Cyclone received topper track from Rocky Mountain Construction on the first drop and turn, re-tracking the parts of the coaster's track that were commonly referred to as the roughest.
On July 17, 2017, Six Flags announced that the Georgia Cyclone would be permanently closing on July 30, 2017.[1]
On August 31, 2017, it was announced that the ride would be replaced by Twisted Cyclone, a heavily modified version of the ride done by Rocky Mountain Construction. Twisted Cyclone opened to the public on May 25, 2018.
