Amazingrocket8 Playz , Hey there !!! They changed the ride to the “Twisted Cyclone”! You should go check it out is now smooth as ever, and they changed it up a bit!
Oh yes! The Georgia Cyclone Roller Coaster in Six Flags over Georgia; The very first Amusement park that I had visited, and the very first roller coaster that I had rode on back in 1996. Good old memories. I love it!🎢
this ride was freaking amazing, the roughness of it makes it so fun and it's fast and it throws you off because it's much longer that what you can see from the outside looking in.
This was always my favorite coaster in the park because the hangtime you get from the first drop - I literally always thought I was going to float out of the seat lmao.
Brandon McCurley yea they changed it to the blue halk. but atleast you don't hit your all over there place since they really only changed the seats and name
This was the first roller coaster I rode that wasn’t one of those “go in a circle with no speed on a dragon” in a fair but the first REAL roller coaster
My best friend and I rode this back in 1994. There was this little boy and his great-granda riding behind us. That first drop was no joke. I thought I was going to fly out of the car. Legit the noisiest ride I've ever been on, but I'm so glad I got a chance to ride it
I have a similar story. For the longest time, I would NOT touch a wooden roller coaster. But then I took a ride on none other than THE Coney Island Cyclone and I was hooked. Now wooden coasters are my favorite.
This ride is my fav. When I went yesterday I rode it like 10 times in total and the front row is the best. It is not even that bumpy and the ride is way smoother that the Great American Scream Machine. I love it!
Throughout the 90s, I rode this coaster so much. I loved it. When I ride roller coasters, I always have to ride in the front, and this one was very fun. To me, there's no bigger rush than sitting up front and looking down the tracks on the first hill. Amazing! I so miss this coaster. Very fun times.
I'm glad I was able to ride this as it was before it became twisted cyclone. I may have almost lost my glasses towards the end, but it definitely was a fun experience as I held onto my glasses for dear life
I never went on it when it was Georgia Cyclone, only Twisted Cyclone. I love Twisted Cyclone but I wonder why RMC cut the ride short and didn't do the third lap like Georgia Cyclone does. I guess they have their reasons, just curious.
This ride is ICONIC....SFOG never should have converted this ride to a RMC transformation, instead this ride should have been kept and simply built a brand new RMC coaster......As an amusement park, you always preserve what you have for generations, never tear down ...
They should give this the Ghostrider treatment: re-track, re-profile, new trains, increased speed. The layout of this looks fantastic, it's just really rough looking. It has so much potential to be a great airtime machine whitout being converted by RMC.
Went here last year in sixth grade for band. First ever theme park and roller coaster. And oh boy, i sat in a seat by myself and i was about six inches above the seat on the first drop. It was bad at the drops but the rest was really fun.
Lord, I remember when I was 7 we came here and immediately rode this coaster. This ride basically gave me a fear of heights that I still haven't completely gotten over. (It was my first actual roller coaster. Probably not the best one to start out with.) Honestly, looking at this video, it does not look as bad as I remember, but I probably need to see it in person again to make any final judgements.
First rollercoaster I ever rode. I had to have been probably 7 or 8 years old. I got my mom on it. She doesn’t ride coasters but I guess she wanted to experience my first coaster with me. She’s never rode another coaster with me but we had a blast lol
Hoo boy... Long before I was a coaster fan, I rode this at a young age. It was my first roller coaster, and having already seen videos of roller coasters, I thought I was ready. I thought I could handle it. It was years before I touched another coaster.
The first time I visited Six Flags over GA, this was the first coaster I road. At about the second or third drop, it forced me back into my seat and my head slammed against the headrest. Needless to say, my head hurt pretty bad from it, but that didn't stop me from laughing about the people freaking out behind me. Lol. It's a decent coaster, just make sure you you keep good posture when riding it so you don't get a concussion. haha
I sadly chickened out on this one and never got to ride it but I did ride the twisted cyclone its pretty cool and the Scream machine is my all time favorite ride they are so rough
I went last week with two of my friends and my sister and my friend chickened out ride when we were about to leave then me and my other friend rode 4 times before we left! It was a super fun ride but it's really bumpy but when you put your hands up you don't feel a thing
I Love this ride!!! I don't find it very rough, and I ride it many times every visit. Favorite seat is the second from the back. Amazing airtime! I do have to admit though, even after 5-8 rides, I start to feel a headache...
This was the first roller coaster my dad ever took me on. I was 8 at the time. He would pick the shittest, bumpiest ride at the park to take me. It scared me so bad hhaha. I'm going back later this month for the first time, I'm now 18. I will conquer this ride. and goliath.
It's really sad to see this coaster go bye bye! I was riding this coaster at 10yrs old so 34yrs I've loved this ride and then they turn it into something else just blasts away all my fond memory! 😢😡
Potato Master Was the park really crowded or not too bad? We are going soon but I'm trying to figure out a time when it's not going to be too crazy. I haven't been in a long time.
I had an awful ride on this during HITP 2014 in the dark near the back. I'm not fond of Dinn, but I'm willing to try this again given that I love Viper at SFGAm (clone) when I go back to SFOG this upcoming HITP.
Rough coasters are products of 3 elements... the worst being lack of maintenance. Has anyone here ever rode the phoenix at Knoebels? Does anyone know why it remains smooth? Knoebels does yearly track maintenance on the areas subject to the highest intensity from the trains. The other element is design and build grade. If they rush construction and donot properly lay the wood tracking it becomes separated and wavy, thus causing the major roughness. train maintenance. RC trains should be rebuilt every two years never should the wheel assemblies or frame of the coaster go over a two year span of rebuilds. Sending the trains out yearly is recommended by all coaster train manufacturers. Inspection and rebuild keeps the trains operating at top performance.
I actually miss this ride. Twisted Cyclone is fun but so damn short!
If only twisted cyclone had a third lap...
Then it might beat wicked psyclone
Andre Nimene true but it is the best roller coaster in the park
Rhys The Gymnast i don’t know..... the back row Goliath makes it tough!
i don’t miss the Georgia back breaker
I’m glad I got to ride this ride before they changed it.
What did it change to?
Amazingrocket8 Playz , Hey there !!! They changed the ride to the “Twisted Cyclone”! You should go check it out is now smooth as ever, and they changed it up a bit!
im not it was terrible on your back
I rode it with my middle school class in 1990.
@@jennifercarpentieri5795 they have both now though
Oh yes! The Georgia Cyclone Roller Coaster in Six Flags over Georgia; The very first Amusement park that I had visited, and the very first roller coaster that I had rode on back in 1996. Good old memories. I love it!🎢
william nelson my first, too. I'm excited to see it after they do their modifications.
Nice name, by the way.
Cyclone was buillt way before 1996 i remember riding the The Georgia cyclone way back in 91 and 92 as a Kid
I thought it was new i didnt know it was renovated
Yes
this ride was so rough I thought my head would fall off
the American scream machines is worse

Rip the Georgia Cyclone
that isn't nessecarily a bad thing that it's gone
@@puffcatco Yas! Twisted Cyclone is amazing
Panda Beatty twisted is ok but I was scared to ride it for the first time but I liked the Georgia cyclone better
Koolidence 21 is this the same layout as VIPER SFGAM?
@@acoasterbro not as good as arieforce one though
this ride was freaking amazing, the roughness of it makes it so fun and it's fast and it throws you off because it's much longer that what you can see from the outside looking in.
It's shorter now. It returns back to station at around 1:26 or so instead of going on like the old one did.
It felt like the ride was never going to end!
That’s what she said
I miss this ride. It was the first roller coaster I ever ridden. The new version is too short
Twisted Cyclone is awesome but I miss the trees from back in the day.
One word to describe this coaster: Painful.
After riding this, I hurt in places I didn't know I had.
Jarring and noisy!
This was the first rollercoaster I ever went on... I do love Twisted Cyclone though
This was always my favorite coaster in the park because the hangtime you get from the first drop - I literally always thought I was going to float out of the seat lmao.
You mean airtime?
Airtime and hangtime are different lol
100% the best ride that I have rode. Its rough but I love that. This and the ninja are my favorite. It's way better at night btw!
I loved the ninja until they changed it 😩
Brandon McCurley yea they changed it to the blue halk. but atleast you don't hit your all over there place since they really only changed the seats and name
This I loved, the Ninja was genuinely painful af 😂.
Are you fucking high?
@@vtr4123 shut up
When I got off this I felt like a noodle
I rode it again today and almost flew away to space
Same
F
This was the first roller coaster I rode that wasn’t one of those “go in a circle with no speed on a dragon” in a fair but the first REAL roller coaster
For those that miss this ride, if you visit NY, the carbon copy Coney Island Cyclone in Brooklyn is exactly the same.
My best friend and I rode this back in 1994. There was this little boy and his great-granda riding behind us. That first drop was no joke. I thought I was going to fly out of the car. Legit the noisiest ride I've ever been on, but I'm so glad I got a chance to ride it

This is my favorite ride. I love it.
This was the first roller coaster I ever rode. And the first theme park I ever visited.
I was shocked that Six Flags had to retire a good rollercoaster . The Cyclone will be missed !
always think I'm going to hit my head on the dip
I miss this coaster. my first coaster when I went to six flags
This ride is my fav. When I went yesterday I rode it like 10 times in total and the front row is the best. It is not even that bumpy and the ride is way smoother that the Great American Scream Machine. I love it!
This was my favorite ride. Me and my cousin rode this 11 times in a row without stoping
Throughout the 90s, I rode this coaster so much. I loved it. When I ride roller coasters, I always have to ride in the front, and this one was very fun. To me, there's no bigger rush than sitting up front and looking down the tracks on the first hill. Amazing! I so miss this coaster. Very fun times.
I rode this many years ago and loved it. It was bone shaking in every way but I still remember it quite well. Nice video too.
This was my first rollercoaster ever. I felt like I was going to fall out every second I was on it, but it was fun. xD
Aye this was also my first roller coaster
@@mako3683 this was my first roller coaster too lol
I sat in the second row with my sister and I felt like my head was gonna fly off. And I got a sore neck after that.
This has the best wooden roller coaster drop in the park. It hurts though...
Man I miss this ride.
Let’s all just give a thank you to encourage for making this such a amazing ride
Just looking at this video is giving me flashbacks of the migraine I had after the ride was over.
I'm glad I was able to ride this as it was before it became twisted cyclone. I may have almost lost my glasses towards the end, but it definitely was a fun experience as I held onto my glasses for dear life
I miss this
Ride
Lol normally I don't like rough roller coasters, but this one is one of my favorites. Too bad it's not more well known.
It's rough but extremely fun. I think this and the Great American Scream Machine are what a roller coaster is supposed to be.
Love the black of the old wooden coasters!
May you rest in peace GA cyclone, your son twisted cyclone stand in your place
This was a really smooth ride when it first opened. It's been very poorly maintained.
Goodbye Georgia Cyclone. Hello Twisted Cyclone!!!!!
Lol this one looks like it's about to break. It's always been the first one I go on when I get to the park though.
I never went on it when it was Georgia Cyclone, only Twisted Cyclone. I love Twisted Cyclone but I wonder why RMC cut the ride short and didn't do the third lap like Georgia Cyclone does. I guess they have their reasons, just curious.
I love this ride I rode on the last day it was open the first time I rode was in 2012
I miss this ride 😢😥😥😥😥😥😥 rip for Georgia cyclone we’ll miss you😥😥😥😥😥
BLUE TNT 120 Definitely will!
beastofburden yep only if they remade it by extending the park and setting it beside the twisted cyclone
I was scared to ride the twisted cyclone for the first time
Used to love this ride...and it was a beautiful day out there that day..just gorgeous🤗💛
Your gonna love Twisted Cyclone even more.
This ride is ICONIC....SFOG never should have converted this ride to a RMC transformation, instead this ride should have been kept and simply built a brand new RMC coaster......As an amusement park, you always preserve what you have for generations, never tear down ...
Bout broke my damn back on this ride lol
The drops are fun and all but this ride shakes you around like a can of whipped cream.
Of course; it was made by the Dinn Corporation
I Remember Riding This With My Dad Before They Changed It… And Before He Left Me…. Again…
this was my first coaster...really rough but still loved it :P
Six Flags - the trim brake industry's best friend.
They should give this the Ghostrider treatment: re-track, re-profile, new trains, increased speed. The layout of this looks fantastic, it's just really rough looking. It has so much potential to be a great airtime machine whitout being converted by RMC.
EPCATdork yes! That would be amazing!
RIP
Welp they did
No shut the fuk up broI do not want them to RMC ghost Rider f*** know that's a wooden roller coaster keep it the way it is
You knew the future, it was converted by RMC lol
Already miss this ride
Went here last year in sixth grade for band. First ever theme park and roller coaster. And oh boy, i sat in a seat by myself and i was about six inches above the seat on the first drop. It was bad at the drops but the rest was really fun.
I rode it on the last year of operation. It was rough, but if only I recognized it for its specialty.
I miss how long the original layout was 😢 but new ride is fun af
Lord, I remember when I was 7 we came here and immediately rode this coaster. This ride basically gave me a fear of heights that I still haven't completely gotten over.

This was my first ride. I ride it when i was about 9 and trust me i was terrified butin the end it Is one of the best rides there.

It's SUCH a fun ride it is just completely pain.ful.
I got hurt on this ride along with bruises . never again !
This is the only roller coaster that I like. It's the only one i'll ride whenever I go lol :)
The first roller coaster i ever rode, and boy did I feel like throwing up once it was over lol
Awesome!!!

This was such a fun coaster. A little rough, but still a great thrill ride! :D
I love this ride so much......
RIP 3/3/1990-7/30/2017. You will be missed.
I love this ride
this used to have a sign up top that said this is the most a roller coaster can be.... right before you dropped lol
love this ride, going next week but it's closed and I hope they open it in time
Now this ride has been renovated and changed to become the twisted cyclone and it is 10 times better 2018 anyone
I'll miss the dude 😥
I loved this ride so much I love six flags even though I couldn't breath and it was loud
I sadly chickened out on this one and never got to ride it but I did ride the twisted cyclone its pretty cool and the Scream machine is my all time favorite ride they are so rough

Tht was fun to ride
I miss it. Just needed an updated work
My fav ride there
i love woodies :-)
This was my first rollercoaster ride ever. I felt like dying ;-;
I really hate rollercoasters but I loved this one. But it was rough.
RIP Georgia Cyclone (1990-2017)
I Love this ride!!! I don't find it very rough, and I ride it many times every visit. Favorite seat is the second from the back. Amazing airtime! I do have to admit though, even after 5-8 rides, I start to feel a headache...

RIP GS I will miss you
I just don't know what some people's beef is with this Coaster. I just rode it today and it is the best woodie ever in my opinion.
This coaster was responsible for screwing up more lower backs than any ride ever. But it was the best.
It's really sad to see this coaster go bye bye! I was riding this coaster at 10yrs old so 34yrs I've loved this ride and then they turn it into something else just blasts away all my fond memory! 😢😡
I sat in the middle of this thing today.. IT WAS SO SCARY OML

I love this ride but it hurts real bad!
This thing was a real backbreaker! For those of you that haven't ridden it, youll never get your chance now, as they have taken it down.
