Iron Shark, Steel roller coaster at Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, United States
Iron Shark features a vertical chain lift reaching 100 feet high, followed by a beyond-vertical drop at 95 degrees and multiple inversions.
The Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter coaster opened on June 1, 2012, marking the arrival of the first such attraction in Texas.
This thrill ride represents the evolution of American amusement parks, combining German engineering with Texas entertainment traditions.
The roller coaster requires riders to be at least 48 inches tall and operates with three trains, each accommodating eight passengers.
Riders experience four inversions within 1,246 feet of track, including an Immelmann loop, dive loop, cutback, and inclined loop.
