We were down in Atlanta to see a show so we decided to spend a day riding coasters, so I’m Ranking Every Roller Coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. It was my first Six Flags park and it was great to try some new rides! If you are into coasters, be sure to check out my rankings at Carowinds, the new Universal Studios Epic Universe, and my home park of Kings Island!

Ranking Every Roller Coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia
12. Joker Funhouse Coaster*
Joker Funhouse Coaster is the most family friendly coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia. However, wanted to make sure we were able to ride Twisted Cyclone so we skipped this one.
Additionally, it does look like a fun ride and it is only a 42″ height requirement so it is good for younger kids as well. I’ll make sure to hit this one up on my next visit!
11. Georgia Gold Rusher*
Georgia Gold Rusher was another ride we didn’t get to ride. Unfortunately, it was closed, which seems to be a recurring trend for some Six Flags parks. Additionally, multiple coaters were closed when we went to Carowinds as well.
Also, the rides we really wanted to do were open. Gold Rusher is a short track and the cars spin freely, which would be fun to try. I would expect it to be a bit like Curse of the Werewolf at Epic or Guardians of teh Galaxy at Epcot. However, it would obviously not be nearly as good as either of those rides due to the limited track. Hopefully, next time I visit it will be open.
10. Dahlonega Mine Train
Dahlonga Mine Train is actually Six Flag’s Over Georgia’s longest running coaster and first opened in 1967. It seems to get a lot of negative reviews and ranked last in many coaster lists. However, I actually thought it was fun and reminds me a little of King’s Island Adventure Express.
There are 3 hill climbs if I counted correctly. Additionally, it is a pretty long ride and the ridetime is almost 3 minutes long. You should definitely give it a ride and decide for yourself.
9. Great American Scream Machine
The Great American Scream Machine is one of Six Flags Over Georgia’s only wooden coasters. It was built in 1973. Additionally, it reminds me of a single track of King’s Island’s Racers.
Great American Scream Machine features a decent sized first drop and offers a pretty long track as well. It is definitely a fun ride and a good run for any wooden-coaster enthusiasts.
8. Daredevil Dive*
We walked by Daredevil Dive and it looks like an interesting one with it’s paperclip first drop. Unforunately, it was a bit too intimidating for my 9 year old daughter. She rode Goliath, Superman and Twisted Cyclone with no issues, but the steep dropped kept her from doing this one.
Additionally, it does look like a unique ride, so I’d like to do it next time. However, the cars are small and only hold about 6 passengers, so the wait time is one of the longer in the park.
7. Blue Hawk*
Blue Hawk is another ride that we were not able to ride. Unforunately, it was not operating the day we visited. I could see it as we walked to Superman and it looks like fun. I definitely hope to ride it next time to Six Flags as it definitely looks like one that I’d enjoy as it has 5 total inversions!
6. The Riddler Mindbender
The Riddler Mindbender created some firsts when it first opened back in 1978 (the year I was born!). It was the first triple loop rollercoaster when it launched.
Today, it has a height requirement of only 42″, which means that quite young riders can experience their first “upside” down rollercoaster a few years sooner than many other parks.
It definitely has an older track feel, but is still relatively smooth and it was definitely a fun ride!
5. Georgia Scorcher
Ever since they tore down The King Cobra at my home park of Kings Island, I’ve had a little soft spot for stand-up roller coasters.
I think this ride is a little under-ranked, because some people (often men) do not like the comfort of stand-up coasters. Do not “sit” on the seat and remember to bend your knees a little before the seats lock.
Additionally, I rode Vortex at Carowinds this year and I enjoyed both. Just be aware, if you don’t like these types of coasters, this one my not be for you. However, I definitely recommend trying it once.
4. Batman – The Ride
There are 15 different versions of B&M’s Batman roller coaster throughout the world and 8 different ones at various Six Flags parks. Also, all are inverted cars with feet hanging.
However, this is the first one I’ve ridden and it was a good one! It isn’t quite as smooth as some of the newer roller coasters. It is approaching it’s 30th birthday as it opened in 1997.
3. Goliath
Number 3 is where we start to get into the marquee rides. Goliath tops a lot of peoples’ lists and it really is a fun ride! However, I am admittedly a fan of coasters that have inversions and tight turns over giga/hypers with big drops and airtime. However, it is a personal preference so your favorite might be different.
Goliath (B&M) was the tallest coaster when it debuted in February 2000, with a drop of 255 feet. However, it was quickly surpassed by Millenium Force when it opened a few months later at May of 2000.
Goliath really is fun and is definitely a must-ride when you visit Six Flags Over Georgia.
2. Superman: Ultimate Flight
Superman: Ultimate Flight is the third of the Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) designed roller coaster to open in just a 5 year window at Six Flags Over Georgia. Also, to be honest, these last three could have gone in any order. Additionally, Superman opened in 2002, just two years after Goliath.
The unique flying layout is unique and drops this one in ahead of the others. Unfortunately, I do realize some people, especially anyone with germaphobe tendencies, may not love the full body restraints. However, it is a fun ride to be laying down in a superman-like pose flying through the air.
Additionally, while the G forces aren’t as strong as some other rides, it definitely hits different while laying down. Also, the inverted loop where you are on the outside definitely induces some black-out vision. This is definitely an intense roller coaster!
1. Twisted Cyclone
My number 1 favorite coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia has a unique history. The wooden coaster Georgia Cyclone opened in 1990. However, it was converted by Rocky Mountain Coaster (RMC) to a steel-hybrid in 2018. The hill was increased and the drop made steeper, as wells as a number of other modifications. The result is a really fun ride that captures the history of the park.
Additionally, this is the first RMC coaster I’ve ridden and I’m looking forward to riding Steel Vengeance when we visit Cedar Point next Summer. We were able to ride this one twice before the park closed, which at 8pm on a Sunday seemed a little early. However, it made for a fun day at the park and I’m glad we were able to ride all of these rides.
I hope that you enjoy your visit to Six Flags Over Georgia!
