There’s exciting news for all the adrenaline junkies and roller coaster lovers in Arlington! Next year, all of Arlington will have the chance to ride the largest loop coaster in the world, soon to go up at Six Flags Over Texas.
The name of the coaster engineered and ready for construction is the Lone Star Revolution, and will stand 100 feet tall according to Sharon Parker, a spokeswoman for Six Flags. This adrenaline monster will be installed in Caddo Lake Barge and will be able to fit 32 people per ride.
This colossal coaster will offer its passengers unforgettable loops both forward and backward before letting them hang upside down for an extra adrenaline rush.
The Park President Steve Martindale stated the following: “The Six Flags brand is synonymous with innovation at the highest level, and we are excited to welcome another record-breaking attraction to an already stellar thrill ride arsenal; this Texas-sized loop coaster offers an intense, heart-pounding experience unlike any other ride in the park.”
The ride will offer a pendulum-style takeoff, shooting its passengers through 360 degrees of breathtaking revolutions and making pauses at the top to make hearts pound even more! It also uses exciting new coaster techniques for implementing more energy into the rides, such as sudden changes in direction halfway through the cycle.
This will be the14th coaster at Six Flags and will feature an interesting addition: faceoff-style seating, where people have to sit facing each other. The ride is expected to be available to residents and visitors to Arlington sometime in late spring
2019, and it will welcome everybody who wants to ride who satisfies the 48-inch height
requirement.
