New Six Flags coaster from Premier Rides |
Premier Rides has been selected to design and manufacture the newest high-thrill roller coaster for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. The 'Superman' branded ride, created in a partnership between Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Premier Rides, is scheduled to open in the spring of 2012. The custom layout, a one-of-a-kind super launch coaster, features what is said to be the tallest inversion west of the Mississippi and will rank alongside the tallest coaster inversions in the world. At 150ft/46m in height, riders will experience speeds of 62mph/100kph, with two upside-down twists and two vertical rolls. Park President Dale Kaetzel said: "We’re excited to bring this calibre of ride to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. "We believe that Premier Rides' new attraction will satisfy even the most fearless thrill-seekers - and then some." Painted in a vibrant blue, red, and yellow, the steel coaster will be visible from California's Highway 37 and beyond from its location on the eastern side of the park. Close Window |
