Dare Devil Dive is bringing a new degree of excitement to Six Flags Over Georgia.
The park’s 11th roller coaster takes riders up a 10-story-tall vertical lift hill. Then it pauses at the summit before plunging 95 feet down a beyond-vertical drop.
The ride officially opens to the public on Saturday, but season pass holders are able to go on it today.
“We wanted to provide our guests with a truly unique, thrilling experience here at Six Flags Over Georgia,” said park President Melinda Ashcraft.
The coaster continues through a tight series of swoops, turns and flips designed to simulate the sensation of a stunt pilot performing aerial acrobatics.
Instead of using a long train of cars, Dare Devil Dive has individual vehicles that hold six riders.
Stadium seating gives everyone a clear view of the track ahead.
