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. 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. Though it is not as intense as the Coney Island Cyclone or the Cyclone at Six Flags New England, it is not a ride for the faint of heart or for those with back, neck, or heart problems.

For years, [http://www.joyrides.com/sfog/georgia_cyclone2.htm 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."
