After weeks of in-depth teasing, Six Flags Fiesta Texas has finally unveiled their 2022 addition: Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger, the world’s steepest dive coaster.
Built by Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M), this floorless dive coaster will be 150ft tall and feature the record breaking 95 degree, beyond vertical drop.
This marks the first time Six Flags has worked with B&M since the wing coaster X-Flight opened at Six Flags Great America in 2012.
The coaster will be 2,501 ft long, and reach speeds of 60mph.
Throughout the layout, the coaster will traverse an Immelmann inversion, a 270 degree zero-g roll, a 75 degree drop off of the midcourse brake run, an airtime hill, and elements the park is calling a “wild-banked turn” and a “high-speed spiral.”
The park made a point to highlight that the trains have been redesign to handle more intense and fast-paced elements, and to achieve this, the trains will seat 7 across, and 3 rows of riders.
