A first-of-its-kind roller coaster and water ride combination, coined an Ultra Splash, will be opening at Six Flags Over Georgia next season.  The attraction is being designed by Intamin and is the first of its kind to open anywhere - also of note is that the final name of the ride is not Ultra Splash as the theme park will be allowing fans to help pick the name soon.


The new attraction features two 144 foot tall spike and 590 feet of track, though the train travels that track both forward and backward several times.  The top speed will be 60 miles per hour.

The attraction will use free spinning, outward facing circular ride seats that in total accommodate 20 riders per cycle.  The car will be sent soaring along the track utilizing LSM launches both forward and backward.  The air-time hill in the middle of the track means three moments of weightlessness as the train passes over it, but low gravity will also be felt at the top of the two spikes.

There will be a water feature that the park can control that will be quite interesting.  From the park's description: 

 


"Passengers will soar backwards and forwards experiencing four water interaction effects, including a vertical wave wall and low cutting splash combination, an elevated experience for both riders and spectators. Riders will speed through a water vortex tunnel creating a captivating water curtain. Offering a panoramic view, spectators are sure to join in the excitement of the water experience and picturesque presence. While this coaster features refreshing splash moments, during the cooler months it can be disabled, allowing for year-long thrills.


Expect to hear a lot more on Six Flags Over Georgia's new Ultra Splash water coaster in the coming weeks and months!
