hyper coaster located atSix Flags Over Texas inArlington, Texas .Ride Layout
Titan begins by lifting riders up a 245 foot hill and then takes a 255 foot drop entering a 120 foot tunnel. Immediately after the tunnel, riders are taken through a large Carousel turn. Following the Carousel turn, riders encounter a large camel back. The train subsequently enters an uphill 540 degree helix which leads to the mid-course brake run. Next, trains maneuver an overbanked turn, followed by the 2nd, downhill, 540 degree helix. Afterwards, the trains navigate an over-banked turn to the left and then another to the right. Finally, the trains are brought to a stop by the final brake run and riders unload. (Titan is almost identical to Goliath at
Six Flags Magic Mountain , but it is 10 ft taller and has a 540 degree helix before the mid-course brakes.)Titan's supports used 2.8 million pounds of steel to manufacture. [http://www.sixflags.com/overTexas/Rides/Titan.aspx] When it was built, the Titan was the longest roller coaster ever to be built at a Six Flags Inc. park.
Titan is one of only two
Giovanola hyper coasters. Its sister, Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain, was built a year prior to Titan. The two coasters are nearly identical except for an extra helix and slight height difference featured on Titan.References
