Twisted Cyclone, Steel and wood roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, United States
Twisted Cyclone is a steel-hybrid roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Mableton, Georgia, built by Rocky Mountain Construction with its I-Box Track on much of the former Georgia Cyclone support structure. The 100-foot (30 m) lift hill leads into a 75-degree drop, ten airtime hills and three inversions, including a zero-g roll. The track runs about 2,400 feet (730 m) and the top speed is 50 mph (80 km/h).
The original Georgia Cyclone opened in 1990 and was a beloved attraction at the park for many years. In 2018, it underwent complete reconstruction when Rocky Mountain Construction installed their I-Box track technology, transforming it into the current version.
The ride sits in the park's British Section, and its name carries over from Georgia Cyclone, which opened in 1990 as a mirror image of the Coney Island Cyclone. The trains are themed as a 1960s-era sports convertible, a detail riders notice as they board.
Riders must be at least 1.22 metres tall to board. The coaster sits in the park's British Section, and a ride from dispatch to brake run lasts about 1 minute 20 seconds. The train is themed as a 1960s sports convertible, so loose items are best left with a non-rider.
The ride features a convertible-style train design from the 1960s that makes the experience feel particularly open and immediate. The initial drop at approximately 75 degrees creates an especially intense adrenaline rush right at the start.
