New Photos Show Wild Elements of Six Flags Over Georgia's Twisted Cyclone

Construction continues on Six Flags Over Georgia's new Twisted Cyclone coaster, and with much of the ride's track now installed we're getting a good look at the twisted elements that Rocky Mountain Construction has cooked up for it.

Above is the completed double barrel roll section, which takes place right after the coaster's first drop.  Trains will rise and roll over, then smoothly complete a highly banked 180 degree turn, then roll once more and dive toward the ground.

Being the first major element after the first drop, these two barrel rolls should take place with the train moving at a great speed.  Twisted Cyclone's announced top speed will be 50 miles per hour.

Traversing back to the other side of the ride the trains will move through a banked wave turn, and as seen above it is very banked.  The trains will roll to the right, nearly inverting, as the train moves across the lift hill.  Looks wild, no?

Here is another angle of the same element, also showing that the coaster's first drop will plunge directly beneath it.  We've seen some crazy looking elements from Rocky Mountain Construction in the past, and this certainly fits that description!

No word yet on when Six Flags Over Georgia plans to open up the new ride, but there's not much track left to install now.  The rest of the ride contains a couple of over banked turns along with a heartline roll, and depending on when these photos were taken those elements could be nearly complete!
