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. it is the country's first PAUSE element before the beyond vertical drop.

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.

Ok... flames. Perhaps even hot rod flames, so maybe a racing themed launch coaster.

At least they got the theming right with Ninja. You feel like you got your A$$ kicked by one after riding it.

Maybe they took one of cool5's jet coaster designs and decided to make it real without consulting structural engineers or anything [approve]

^ That would be a winner. From what I heard Ninja is awful...SFSTL's Ninja is supposed to be awful too.

It's not that bad, only the Vekoma parts suck.

If anyone thinks Ninja in St. Louis is rough they're a pussy.

It's not rough. Well, the sidewinder is a little, but it's just really bad overall. The corks are cool, but that's about it.

Eurofighter seems most likely. Doesn't take up much space and is an original thing for SFOG.

The ninja isn't as rough as it is worthless. The sidewinder and the helix are real head bangers, though.

The roughness winner in STL is the Boss.

I've never been there so I'm going based on what I hear. Lol. Is the Eagle rough at STL?

Typically woodies with Gerstlauer trains are rough. I rode Villain at Geauga during its last season and it is probably the roughest wooden coaster I've ever been on and probably one of my least favorite. It is the only on ride picture that I'm not 100% smiling or doing something goofy. I'm kinda like grimacing because it rattles so much.

Boss is bizarre because no matter how much wood, retracking, whatever, it always seems to be feel just about the same. It has always been like that. It's a fantastic ride, you're just suicidal if you marathon it.

lol, I rode Villain in 2003, and front row gave one of the smoothest rides of any wooden coaster I've been on. Sucks that it deteriorated like that...not that it mattered ultimately.
