SOUTH COBB - Thrill-seekers will get to experience a "beyond vertical" drop when Six Flags Over Georgia opens its newest Dare Devil Dive roller coaster Memorial Day weekend.

Park officials announced the new ride, which will be the 11th coaster at Six Flags, on Wednesday.

Officials calls it the park's first "euro fighter" coaster. It features a 10-story vertical lift, "an agonizing pause at the crest of the summit," followed by a drop that is "beyond straight down."

"It actual angles inward at a blistering 52 mph," according to a press release. "The ride then careens through a thrilling combination of diving loops while executing three inversions before riders catch air on a zero gravity hill and swoop across the dreaded Immelmann 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."

Melinda Ashcraft, park president of Six Flags Atlanta Properties, added, "This thrill ride features a vertical lift hill and beyond vertical first drop that our guests have never experienced before."

Dare Devil Dive is designed and engineered by Germany-based Gerstlauer Rides and is a $9 million project. It will be located in the USA section of the park and will complement Goliath, which was the last coaster to be introduced at Six Flags in 2006, Batman: The Ride and Superman: Ultimate Flight, among other classic rides. The park opened in 1967 with one small coaster, the Dahlonega Mine Train, the Hanson Cars and Log Jamboree rides.

Six Flags Over Georgia is only open on the weekends until the end of the 2010 season, Oct. 31.

Earlier this year, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly Six Flags, Inc.), completed a yearlong restructuring of its balance sheet that allowed it to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
