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.
Designed by Werner Stengel and built by Anton Schwarzkopf, mind bender would be the last original roller coaster the park would construct until the arrival of Georgia Scorcher in 1999. Since its debut, mind bender has had three different color schemes and been counted within three different sections of the park. In its inaugural season, the attraction was part of the USA section and was silver in color. In 1979, mind bender became part of the new Jolly Roger's Island, itself an offshoot of the USA section. The structure was painted brown during the 1980s. Throughout its first two decades, the trains were silver in color, with a rainbow-colored stripe along both sides.
