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 (29 m) and has a track length of 2,970 feet (910 m) and a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). The Cyclone is known as a "stand-up" wooden roller coaster by roller coaster enthusiasts due to several extreme moments of negative g-forces. It can also be extremely rough during hot and dry weather.
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."
