Clue 3 wins me over too that it's Intamin or G track.

Devil? Maybe 2 devils may appear for SF. It would fit with New Jersey.

Six Flags Over Georgia press release

http://www.sixflags.com/overGeorgia/...devildive.aspx

New Coaster for 2011 Season…First of its Kind in the Southeast!
Largest Theme Park in the Southeast to Open 11th Thrill Coaster
Attention all daredevils, the Southeast’s largest theme park Six Flags Over Georgia, is proud to announce a unique new roller coaster for the 2011 season. DARE DEVIL DIVE will be the park’s first “euro fighter” coaster, which features a rare ten story vertical lift and the country’s first drop that dives beyond vertical as it plummets towards earth.

DARE DEVIL DIVE’s mission begins with guests being pulled straight up to the sky on a special vertical chain lift, then slowly rolling to the top of the tower nearly 100 feet in the air. After an agonizing pause at the crest of the summit, the coaster car plummets downward at an angle that is beyond straight down - it actually angles inward at a blistering 52 mph. 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.

“We’re excited to welcome DARE DEVIL DIVE as our 11th roller coaster,” said Melinda Ashcraft, Park President of Six Flags Atlanta Properties. "This thrill ride features a vertical lift hill and beyond vertical first drop that our guests have never experienced before. It will be the perfect complement to an already stellar coaster lineup.”

DARE DEVIL DIVE is custom-designed and engineered by the industry-acclaimed Gerstlauer Rides based in Germany, who also created the popular Tony Hawk’s Big Spin at several Six Flags parks and Pandemonium at Six Flags New England.

DARE DEVIL DIVE is scheduled to open Memorial Day Weekend and will join a host of thrilling rides and attractions at Six Flags Over Georgia including the hyper-coaster Goliath, one of the tallest coasters in the Southeast, Batman: The Ride and Superman: Ultimate Flight.

More Flags. More Fun. More Affordable. 2011 Six Flags Over Georgia Season Passes are now on sale for as low as $49.99 each. For a limited time only, guests who purchase and process four (4) or more 2011 Season Passes by October 31, 2010 will receive a FREE season parking pass. A Season Pass offers unlimited visits to Six Flags Over Georgia, free tickets for friends, savings on in-park food and fun, and access to exclusive Season Pass events.

Six Flags Over Georgia is currently open weekends for the 2010 season until October 31. For more information and the operating schedule, go to sixflags.com/overgeorgia

Hopefully this one won't have any headbanging like Mystery Mine, but I like this addition if we can't have a GCI.

Dare Devil Dive! That's the name of our skycoaster since like what 1995? I'm at lunch. Does someone want to post this as a new story or a summary of today's Six Flags announcements before I get home later?

The diving loops sound perfect for the inversions SFOG was lacking. This design could have come about with consideration that Deja Vu would still be standing with the cobra roll or the manufacturer doesn't do cobra rolls with this smaller scale of a coaster.

The name sounds USA section-ish. I'm crossing my fingers this is true.

EDIT: Posting now...

I would assume this would run the length of the old Drive In to the Free Fall area.

I don't understand the vertical pause though. Is it saying that they will pull you over the edge, then stop the train on the first drop, and then let you go?

On Mystery Mine you slide foward, then stop before the final drop.

Ours used to be called Fearless Freep's Daredevil Dive. The sign says Skycoaster, but the map still says Fearless Freep's.
