The Georgia Scorcher, also known as simply the Scorcher, is a stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, located in the Georgia section of the park. It opened on May 8, 1999 as the second roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia to be manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, following Batman: The Ride.
The roller coaster replaced Ragin' Rivers, a "wet-dry" waterslide tower that was added to the park in 1991.
History[]
Georgia Scorcher is the third attraction to occupy this location in the Georgia section of the park. It replaced the Ragin' Rivers "wet-dry" raft slide tower that was added for the 1991 season, which itself replaced one of the two Log Jamboree log flumes. In 2019, the ride was repainted into a red hot and dark grey color scheme to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Ride experience[]
Georgia Scorcher departs the station and climbs its 107-foot (33 m) lift hill. Then drops down a 101 ft drop. Then the roller coaster enters its 81-foot (25 m) vertical loop. It then climbs to the right, circling back towards the station before diving sharply down to the left, entering a non-inverting inclined loop that threads through the center of the vertical loop. After exiting the element, the roller coaster then climbs a small hill and is twisted over on its right side, twisting back as it enters its second inversion, a corkscrew.
The roller coaster climbs up to the left, crossing over the start of the lift hill, before diving down and performing a ground-level 270-degree helix turn, crossing itself again as it rises one final time to enter the brake run, returning to the station via a U-turn to the left.
