Six Flags Over Georgia announced their newest roller coaster today, Dare Devil Dive.



Calling all daredevils. In 2011, Six Flags Over Georgia will introduce Dare Devil Dive,
a "euro fighter" coaster with an amazing drop that's BEYOND vertical.

Dare Devil Dive's mission begins as you're pulled straight up to the sky on a special vertical chain lift, then slowly roll to the top of the tower nearly 100-feet in the air. After an agonizing pause at the crest of the summit, you plummet downward at an angle that is beyond straight down — it actually angles inward at a blistering 52 mph.

Then you careen through a thrilling combination of diving loops while executing three inversions before you catch air on a zero gravity hill and swoop across the dreaded Immelman vertical U turn stretched high above the ground. The crescendo builds as the car dives toward the ground and up into a Heartline roll before being slowed by the magnetic brakes. Whew!

Dare Devil Dive will be the 11th coaster in Six Flags Over Georgia's already stellar coaster line-up.

Sweet I guess I do have a reason to start the 2011 coaster season with SFOG.

[fantom]

RED AND YELLOW.

It'll be easier to get it sponsored by McDonalds. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Also, no Flash Pass is interesting.

They should have named this ride Flash: The Ride. The colors match his perfectly, but I think for it to be Flash it would have to be a launched coaster. Anyway Im happy they finally added a ride there, looks and sounds pretty cool.

Bravo to SFoG. I am a big fan of the uniqueness. I mean, the ride doesn't look like it's "holyshiztoptenz", but it's a solid, quality attraction that will attract alot of people (like myself) because it will offer a unique ride experience.

[love4kanex]

Not to bump this thread or anything, but just updating it with current news (as far as I know)


I was searching through rcdb randomly checking out some of the upcoming rides for Spring 2011, and I decided to check out Dare Devil Dive again after doing it previously a while ago and found some newer pictures of current construction. Here is some of whats going on with the the ride.






I thought you guys would like to know about the ride, since it hasn't been updated in quite a while.
