rcdb_number= 36The Georgia Cyclone is awooden roller coaster atSix Flags Over Georgia inAtlanta, Georgia . Opened in1990 , it is amirror 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 theConey Island Cyclone or the Cyclone atSix 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."References
