Runaway Mountain, Steel roller coaster in Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, US.
Runaway Mountain is an indoor steel coaster at Six Flags Over Texas with black track and support structure. The ride reaches speeds of about 40 miles per hour and guides passengers through multiple helical sections and sharp turns in complete darkness.
Premier Rides built this coaster in 1996 as their first installation at Six Flags Over Texas. The mining theme shaped the ride's design concept from its beginning.
The roller coaster entrance and queue line incorporate mineshaft themes, reflecting the industrial mining heritage of the region.
Visitors should verify the height requirement before boarding, as it applies to this ride. Each train holds about 36 passengers across three cars, so wait times can vary throughout the day.
The complete darkness throughout the ride intensifies the shock of unexpected drops and removes visual reference points for passengers. This creates a disorienting effect that makes the experience particularly intense.
