World's Tallest Loop Coaster Opens at Six Flags Over Texas

READ TIME: 1 MIN.

Six Flags Over Texas, the Thrill Capital of Texas, has unleashed a "devilish" attraction with the opening of the world's tallest loop coaster – El Diablo. The park's 14th coaster has added a sinister spin to the Spain section of the park.

"The Six Flags brand is synonymous with innovation at the highest level and we are excited to welcome another record-breaking attraction," said Park President Steve Martindale. "This super-sized loop coaster features six inversions and the most hang-time of any coaster in the park. El Diablo packs a wicked punch and gives our Members and Season Pass Holders yet another new thrill to experience with family and friends."

Towering a staggering 100 feet tall, El Diablo will boast a fiery red and orange theme and send riders back and forth, propelling them head over heels through a series of 360-degree revolutions. The coaster changes direction halfway through the ride cycle, leaving riders suspended upside down at the top of the loop for even more intense thrills.
