Six Flags Over Georgia opens Twisted Cyclone roller coaster

Six Flags Over Georgia opened its newest attraction, the Twisted Cyclone roller coaster, on Friday, offering a 75‑degree drop, three inversions and a 50 mph top speed, a move that adds a premium thrill‑ride to the park’s lineup just before the Memorial Day weekend [2].

New ride details

The Twisted Cyclone combines wood and steel in a hybrid design, delivering an “insanely steep 75‑degree initial drop from nearly 100 feet” followed by a reverse cobra roll, a 360‑degree zero‑gravity roll and three upside‑down inversions [2]. The coaster’s custom trains are styled after 1960s sports convertibles, and the park promotes the experience as smoother and more intense than its previous offerings.

Timing and visitor access

The park scheduled an exclusive preview day from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. for members and season‑pass holders, giving them a first ride before the general public [2]. The opening coincides with the start of the Memorial Day holiday period, a peak visitation window for amusement parks, potentially boosting ticket sales and ancillary revenue such as food and merchandise.

What to watch

• Attendance and same‑day revenue figures for the Memorial Day weekend at Six Flags Over Georgia.
• Updates from Six Flags’ corporate earnings releases that may reference the performance of new attractions.
• Any announcements of additional ride expansions or pricing adjustments in the coming quarters.

The debut of Twisted Cyclone adds a high‑profile thrill element to Six Flags Over Georgia’s portfolio, but its financial impact will become clearer once attendance data from the holiday weekend is released.
