One person has died and several others have been injured in an incident involving a roller-coaster in Georgia.

The incident took place on Monday (local time) at Six Flags Over Georgia, about 25 kilometres north-west of Atlanta, according to the Cobb County Police Department.

Detectives with department’s major crimes unit will investigate the incident.

Officials did not confirm how the person died or how the others were injured.

A Six Flags spokesperson said the park and local authorities responded immediately and were fully co-operating with local authorities in their investigation.

“We are deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today,” the spokesperson said.

In September, Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Southern California, announced that it was retiring its famous X2 roller-coaster amid lawsuits alleging serious brain injury caused by the ride.

Six Flags recently settled a wrongful-death lawsuit from the family of a 22-year-old man who died after riding the coaster in 2022. Three more lawsuits alleging traumatic brain injuries were filed last week.

In 2025, a 32-year-old man died after riding a high-speed roller-coaster at the Universal Epic Universe theme park in Florida. He died from blunt impact injuries and his death was ruled accidental.
