Ride Spotlight - New Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas
New Texas Giant originally opened in 1990 as an all-wooden coaster and was the tallest and fastest in the world. In 2011, however, Rocky Mountain Construction transformed the wooden coaster in to the first-ever hybrid roller coaster: New Texas Giant. New Texas Giant features a 79-degree first drop, speeds of up to 65 miles per hour, and tons of air time elements.
