Mind Bender is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Georgia near Atlanta Georgia. Billed as "the world's first triple-loop roller coaster" when it opened on March 31, 1978. Mind Bender has maintained its popularity since its opening. In its 30th anniversary season in 2008, mind bender was ranked #15 by Amusement Today magazine in its annual Golden Ticket Awards, and was one of only two roller coasters built before 1980 on the list; the other was its "fraternal twin," Shockwave, at Six Flags Over Texas.
The ride begins with the train exiting the loading station, passing over the transfer track and climbing the lift hill. Once the train has reached the top of the lift, it turns right into a U-turn while traversing slightly downward. When the train nears the end of the U-turn, it travels sightly upwards nearing the height it was when it reached the top of the lift hill. The train then descends down the first drop and immediately enters the first loop. Upon exiting the loop, the train climbs a hill, levels out and reaches the first set of trim brakes.
Next, the train turns left in a slight decline before leveling out. Once leveled, it enters the diving helix into the ravine. This is achieved by the left rail lowering much more steeply than the right rail as the train descends into a left-turning helix. The train begins to climb and level out after reaching the bottom of the ravine, producing significant positive G-forces. After exiting the top of the helix, the train enters a hill followed by a U-turn and a second set of trim brakes as the track levels out.
The train then travels down another hill toward the ground and into the final loop. Upon exiting, the train passes through a tunnel and over a hill into another descending U-turn. The train ascends slightly as it completes the U-turn and enters the final brake run.

My head felt like 1000 pounds on the loop

My first upside down coaster 😍

Me too

[@tanyapayne2134]

i rode this coaster 3 times and got sick never drink a choclate shake before u ride it

[@jcspotter7322]

I'm still trying to figure out why people say there's 3 inversions on this, there's obviously only 2 loops and where they say there is one, it never even breaks 45°

[@JayeK47]

Don't see a third either. Much different layout with a longer but less intense ride than it's "twin" - Shockwave in SFOT. Before I had a chance to ride Mindbender I always pictured it as Shockwave with three loops instead of two. Neither have a line when I prefer to go to amusement parks in the off peak and I was able to ride them both 4 times in row. They are probably the best old school steel coasters still running and both are well worth riding.

[@ashleyeaton2684]

It looks dangerous

[@thrillridefreak8884]

42 inches seems low for a ride like this.

[@heliotropeskies5918]

well its only restraint is a lap bar so

[@thrillridefreak8884]

@@heliotropeskies5918 well montezooma's revenge at knotts uses the same trains and is made by the same manufacture but that has a higher height requirement of 48 inches so....

I’m sure you haven’t ridden it if you don’t like one of the best coasters in the south.
