Georgia Scorcher, Steel stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, United States.
Georgia Scorcher is a stand-up steel roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, Georgia, where riders travel the entire course on their feet. The track runs through several inversions and tight turns, all experienced from an upright position on bike-style seats that hold riders in place without allowing them to sit down fully.
The ride opened in 1999, replacing an older water attraction that had occupied the same spot for years. It was part of a broader wave of investment in faster, more intense rides that reshaped what the park offered its guests during that era.
The Georgia Scorcher belongs to a rare category of coasters where riders stand for the entire ride, which changes how the body feels every twist and inversion. Experiencing a loop while standing feels noticeably different from riding in a seat, and that contrast is what draws many guests to it.
A minimum height requirement applies to this ride and is checked before boarding, so it is worth confirming in advance if you are visiting with children. Because you stand throughout, secure any loose items beforehand and wear shoes that fit firmly on your feet.
In 2019, the ride's tracks and supports were repainted entirely, switching from yellow and purple to deep red and dark grey. The new colors stand out from a distance and give the coaster a very different presence in the park compared to how it looked for most of its life.
