The Georgia Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia. Opened in 1990, it is a mirror image of the legendary Coney Island Cyclone. Ten feet higher than the Cyclone, it stands at 95 feet (29 m) and has a track length of 2,970 feet (910 m) and a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h). The Cyclone is known as a "stand-up" wooden roller coaster by roller coaster enthusiasts due to several extreme moments of negative g-forces. It can also be extremely rough during hot and dry weather.

For years, the sign at the top of its lift hill said that the Georgia Cyclone was "The Most a Coaster can Beeeeeeee!" Now it simply says "Stay Seated."

For the 2012 season parts of the Cyclone track will be covered with Rocky Mountain Construction Topper Track, which will cover approximately 30 percent of the roller coaster for a better experience on the ride
