Six Flags Over Georgia announces name of newest roller coaster

AUSTELL, Ga. - Thrill seekers get ready because Six Flags Over Georgia has a new ride that will have you screaming for more fun.
The theme park announced the name picked for its new coaster opening this summer, which it promises will be a first-of-its-kind experience.
The new ride will be called the Georgia Surfer after nearly 30,000 voted on the options.
While the coaster may look simple, Six Flags says the 590-feet thrill ride will be deceiving. Riders will reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour as they go back and forth to the 144-foot peak.
Passengers will strap into a free-spinning seat on top of a massive board that travels the wavy track before diving into a splash pad.
The theme park says the system ensures that no two rides will be the same. Riders will also speed through a water vortex.
The park opens for the season on March 2. The new ride will open over the summer and bring the park's coaster count to 13.
