The Cannon Ball roller coaster is a wooden roller coaster. It is at the Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park (or Lake Winnie) in Rossville, Georgia. It was designed by John C. Allen. The roller coaster opened in 1967. It was Lake Winnie's first roller coaster.
It is one of three roller coasters at the park. The other two coasters are the Wild Lightnin' and the Wacky Worm. Wild lightnin' is a steel roller coaster that goes over the lake. The Wacky Worm is a children's ride. The Cannon Ball is the biggest of the three.
