(132 cm) Flash Pass Available  Acrophobia is the name for a
free-fall tower ride located at Six Flags Over Georgia in
Austell. The attraction was designed by Intamin of Switzerland,
and is marketed by Intamin's Liechtenstein-based subsidiary Ride
Trade. When Acrophobia opened to the public in the spring of
2001, it became the first free-fall attraction of its kind in
the world.   Acrophobia is the latest version in a long-running
series of attractions designed by Intamin that create the
sensation of free fall. The first free-fall towers were, in
essence, vertical drop roller coaster rides, although many
coaster fans do not classify them as such.
