Tantrum

Tantrum is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake that takes riders on a brief but intense journey. The ride sends passengers through three inversions while moving at moderate speeds, making use of compact single-car trains to navigate its winding path.

This coaster opened in 2018 as a new addition to the park, taking the place of an older water ride that had entertained guests for years. The park chose a modern German-engineered design to bring a fresh type of thrill to the location.

The roller coaster represents the modern era of theme park attractions, incorporating advanced engineering to create intense physical experiences for visitors.

Height restrictions apply to ensure rider safety, so check requirements before boarding. Arrive early during peak season to minimize waiting times, and note that the ride operates during warm months when the park is fully open.

The ride is known for its extreme track angle that sends riders through a near-vertical drop, creating a sensation of free fall. This steep angle gives the coaster its reputation for delivering one of the most heart-stopping moments in the park.
