Griffon, Steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, United States
The Griffon roller coaster reaches 205 feet in height and features a 90-degree vertical drop, delivering speeds of 71 miles per hour.
Opening in 2007, this steel roller coaster replaced the former LeMans Raceway and established records for height and speed in the dive coaster category.
The design incorporates elements of mythological griffin creatures, combining eagle and lion characteristics throughout the track's architectural details.
The roller coaster operates with three trains of 30 seats each, arranged in three rows, allowing 1,400 riders to experience the attraction per hour.
Riders experience a pause at the edge before plunging down, with floorless carriages creating an unobstructed view during the descent.
