Six Flags Over Georgia Updates on Twisted Cyclone Progress + 2nd Train Reveal

One of five new Rocky Mountain Construction projects opening in America in 2018, Six Flags Over Georgia's Twisted Cyclone is a makeover of the park's Georgia Cyclone wooden coaster.

Since the coaster closed at the end of the summer, Six Flags Over Georgia has been hard at work on getting the transformation from wooden coaster to steel hybrid ride underway.  First step on a project like this is to remove the original wooden track, and trim (or add) wooden supports where necessary to fit the ride's new layout.  This photo shows a big section of the coaster with its track fully removed.

Once the supports are as desired to support the new ride path, the steel running tracks can be applied.  Six Flags Over Georgia has just started this process, seen above, of adding the cool blue steel track on the white supports.  The supports will be fully repainted a bright white before the coaster opens next year.

The theme park also just revealed Twisted Cyclone's 2nd running train, featuring a bright red paint job with hot-rod themed front cars.  The first train, all in black, could be seen at the recent IAAPA convention.  Looks great!
