The Georgia Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia. Opened in 1990, it is a mirror image of the legendary Coney Island Cyclone. Ten feet higher than the Cyclone, it stands at 95 feet and has a track length of 2970 feet and a top speed of 50 mph.

For years, the sign at the top of its lift hill said that the Georgia Cyclone was "The Most a Coaster can Beeeeeeee!" Now it simply says "Stay Seated."
