New Texas Giant, Steel and wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, United States
The New Texas Giant combines a wooden support structure with steel tracks, reaching a height of 153 feet with drops at 79-degree angles.
Originally opened in 1990 as Texas Giant, the wooden roller coaster underwent a complete transformation in 2011 by Rocky Mountain Construction using innovative I-Box technology.
The ride features three trains designed to resemble 1961 Cadillac Devilles, reflecting the automotive culture and design aesthetics of mid-century America.
Visitors experience a 3-minute ride covering 4,500 feet of track, while safety requirements include a minimum height of 48 inches for riders.
The renovation project used 900,000 board feet of wood and cost 10 million dollars to transform the structure into the first hybrid roller coaster.
