Dare Devil Dive, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, United States.
Dare Devil Dive is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell, Georgia, built by Gerstlauer as a Euro-Fighter. Its 2,099-foot track begins with a 95-foot vertical lift hill, then a 95-degree first drop through rings of fire, a dive loop, a banked turn, an Immelmann, mid-course brakes, a U-turn around a control tower, a tunnel and a heartline roll. Trains have three rows of two riders.
This coaster opened in 2011 and replaced two earlier rides that occupied the same spot in the park. The installation brought a new roller coaster design to Georgia and was part of a wave of modern attractions the park added during that period.
The name comes from Fearless Freep's Dare Devil Dive, a Skycoaster added in 1996 to the park's Cotton States section and inspired by the Bugs Bunny cartoon High Diving Hare, in which Yosemite Sam tries to make Bugs perform a high dive. That earlier attraction was later renamed simply Sky Coaster, so this coaster is the second ride to carry the name.
Riders must be at least 13 to wear the optional VR headsets, and children 12 or younger ride without them. The train seats six across three rows, and the lap-bar restraint leaves the upper body free, so secure loose items before boarding. The 2,099-foot circuit ends with a heartline roll before the final brake run.
Dare Devil Dive was the first Euro-Fighter anywhere to use Gerstlauer's new lap-bar restraint instead of over-the-shoulder harnesses. The sign at the entrance shows a winged skull in orange and yellow flames above the words "DARE DEVIL" and an orange "DIVE COASTER" banner. The track passes through rings of fire before the first inversion, a dive loop.
