Dare Devil Dive Roller Coaster Welcomes 100,000th Rider

Austell, GA – Six Flags Over Georgia on Friday, July 8 thrilled its 100,000th rider on Dare Devil Dive, less than 45 days after the roller coaster's grand opening. 11-year-old Chase of Lakeland, Florida was the chosen one.

Riders go upside down on one of three inversions on the Dare Devil Dive roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia.

To celebrate the milestone, Six Flags Over Georgia awarded Chase and his family with a free VIP Tour for the remainder of the day, including front-of-the-line access at all rides, a personal escort and unlimited food and drinks.

"We are extremely happy to announce this great milestone" said Melinda Ashcraft, Park President. "Dare Devil Dive is a wonderful addition to our park and the 100,000th rider represents the success this exciting coaster has achieved."
