Georgia Scorcher, Steel stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, United States.
Georgia Scorcher is a stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell where passengers ride upright throughout the entire journey. The ride features a series of sharp turns and inversions that test riders' balance and nerve while they remain standing.
The coaster opened in 1999 and took the place of an older water-based ride that previously occupied the same location. Its arrival marked the start of a shift toward newer, more intense thrill rides at the park.
The stand-up design puts riders on their feet during the ride instead of in seated positions, creating a distinctive sensation that sets it apart from typical roller coasters. This format appeals to guests seeking a more intense and unfiltered experience of the twists and turns.
Visitors must meet a minimum height requirement to ride this coaster safely. It is wise to secure loose items and wear comfortable shoes, as standing throughout the ride places different demands on your body than seated coasters.
In 2019, the coaster underwent a complete visual makeover, trading its yellow tracks and purple supports for deep red tracks and dark grey supports. This transformation gave the decades-old ride a fresh look that catches visitors' attention from across the park.
