Facts and practical information

The New Texas Giant is a thrilling piece of amusement architecture nestled in the heart of Arlington, Texas. This roller coaster, renowned for its exhilarating drops and high-speed turns, stands as a modern emblem of thrill-seeking entertainment in the Lone Star State.

Originally built in 1990 and reimagined in 2011, the New Texas Giant has been reborn as a steel hybrid coaster, offering a smoother and more intense ride experience than its wooden predecessor. With a staggering height of 153 feet and a top speed of 65 miles per hour, riders are in for a heart-pounding adventure as they navigate its 4,200 feet of twisted steel track.

The coaster's layout is a marvel of engineering, featuring steep banks, dramatic overbanked turns, and a series of airtime hills that guarantee to lift riders out of their seats. The New Texas Giant's first drop is an impressive 79 degrees, making it one of the steepest descents in the world for a roller coaster of its kind.

Located within Six Flags Over Texas, the amusement park that is home to the New Texas Giant, visitors can expect a day filled with excitement and entertainment.
