Excalibur, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags AstroWorld, Houston, United States
Excalibur was a steel roller coaster at Six Flags AstroWorld that followed a mine train design for family riders. The ride took guests through different sections with moderate thrills and no inversions.
Arrow Dynamics built the ride in 1972 under the original name Dexter Frebish's Electric Roller Ride. It was renamed Excalibur in 1981.
The attraction represented a classic mine train design that appealed to families seeking moderate thrills without inversions at Six Flags AstroWorld.
Each train held 30 riders arranged in five cars that departed together for the entire experience. The ride lasted around three minutes, making it a quick option between other attractions.
The ride entrance featured a tunnel section that doubled as storage for extra trains when not in use. This clever design saved space while allowing the park to operate more cars during busy periods.
