El Diablo Makes Its Thrilling Debut
ARLINGTON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Six
Flags Over Texas, the Thrill Capital of Texas, has unleashed a
“devilish” attraction with the opening of the world’s tallest loop
coaster—El Diablo. The park’s 14th coaster has added a
sinister spin to the Spain section of the park.
“The Six Flags brand is synonymous with innovation at the highest level
and we are excited to welcome another record-breaking attraction,” said
Park President Steve Martindale. “This super-sized loop coaster features
six inversions and the most hang-time of any coaster in the park. El
Diablo packs a wicked punch and gives our Members and Season Pass
Holders yet another new thrill to experience with family and friends.”
Towering a staggering 100 feet tall, El Diablo will boast a fiery
red and orange theme and send riders back and forth, propelling them
head over heels through a series of 360° revolutions. The coaster
changes direction halfway through the ride cycle, leaving riders
suspended upside down at the top of the loop for even more intense
thrills.
El Diablo’s highlights:
- World’s tallest coaster of its kind;
- Six inversions;
-
32 seats in unique “face-off” design, with guests seated back-to-back
and face-to-face; and -
A pendulum style takeoff with multiple 360°degree revolutions around
the 10-story loop
