Contents 1 History 2 Awards 3 References 4 External links History Georgia Cyclone opened as a mirror image of the legendary Coney Island Cyclone on March 3, 1990. It stood ten feet higher than the Cyclone at 95 feet ( 29 m ), had a track length of 2,970 feet ( 910 m ), and reached a top speed of 50 miles per hour ( 80 km / h ). For the 2012 season, approximately 30 percent of the coaster 's track was replaced with Topper Track by Rocky Mountain Construction ( RMC ), intended to provide an improved ride experience. On July 17, 2017, park officials announced that the attraction would close permanently two weeks later on July 30. Twisted Cyclone car on display at IAAPA IAE ( 2017 ) On August 31, 2017, Six Flags Over Georgia announced plans to convert Georgia Cyclone into a steel - hybrid design, featuring RMC 's patented I - Box Track technology. The drop height was raised to 100 feet ( 30 m ), the angle was steepened to 75 degrees, and a total of ten airtime hills and three inversions were added along the course of the ride. The trains had their theme modified to represent a 1960s - era sports convertible, and the maximum speed remained unchanged at 50 mph ( 80 km / h ). The track was shortened to approximately 2,600 feet ( 790 m ), and the roller coaster held its grand opening on May 25, 2018.
