Premier Rides is announcing it has been selected to design and manufacture the newest high-thrill roller coaster for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. The ride, created in a partnership between Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Premier Rides, is slated to open in the spring of 2012.
This custom layout, a one-of-a-kind super launch coaster, features the tallest inversion west of the Mississippi and will rank alongside the tallest coaster inversions in the world. At 150 feet high, riders will experience lightning speeds of 62 miles per hour, with two upside-down twists and two vertical rolls.
“We’re excited to bring this caliber of ride to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom,” said Park President Dale Kaetzel. “We believe that Premier Rides’ new attraction will satisfy even the most fearless thrill-seekers, and then some.”
Brightly 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.
Jim Seay, president of Premier Rides, commented, “We are very pleased to have been selected to design and build this one-of-a-kind attraction and are honored to once again be a part of Six Flags’ formula for success.”
