New Medusa Coming to Six Flags Mexico in 2014

In 2014, Six Flags Mexico will open a brand new coaster experience, the first hybrid coaster of its kind in the country. The Medusa wooden coaster will be transformed into the new innovative Medusa Steel Coaster, featuring a steel track atop a wooden base.

This technological innovation will combine the classic thrills of a wooden structure, with a new modern track and rails constructed out of steel, providing a ride that’s fiercer and smoother than ever before. The coaster will stand 98-foot lift hill, and will feature and inverting dive, reaching a top speed of 58 miles per hour.

Riders will traverse through 3,000 feet of track, tackling surprising over-banked turns, sliding around dramatic curves, and twisting through outrageous inversions, flipping head-over-heels through a winding coil. Medusa Steel Coaster will feature two newly themed trains topped with a mythic eye-catching Medusa head.

Rocky Mountain Construction is handling Medusa’s transformation. The company was also responsible for Six Flags over Texas’s New Texas Giant and Six Flags Fiesta Texas’ Iron Rattler coasters.
