A new Intamin Ultra Surf rollercoaster is set to open at the Six Flags Over Georgia theme park in Mableton, US, in 2024.
Launching next summer, the attraction will be located in the park’s Screampunk area and will combine several water elements with a thrill ride experience.
Riders will reach speeds of 60mph (96kmph) and a peak of 144ft (43m) as they travel back and forth along a 590ft (179m) U-shaped track through an airtime hill and splash zone.
Other water effects will include a low-cutting splash combination, water vortex tunnel, water curtain and vertical wave wall.
Meanwhile, ride vehicles, themed to look like surfboards, will feature two spinning circular platforms, each offering 10 outward-facing seats, providing riders with four different airtime spins and three airtime moments throughout the ride.
“This ride provides unmatched weightless airtime to create an experience you don’t want to miss,” said Six Flags in a statement.
The attraction’s launch was announced during Six Flags’ Coaster Fest event, which took place in August.
