The Flash: Vertical Velocity, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Vallejo, California, US.
The linear induction motors propel riders through a U-shaped track configuration, reaching speeds of 65 miles per hour across 630 feet of railway.
Initially standing at 186 feet when it opened in 2001, the coaster underwent modifications in 2002 to meet Vallejo's height restriction of 150 feet.
The 2019 rebranding to The Flash: Vertical Velocity established the ride as part of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's DC Comics entertainment section.
The inverted coaster accommodates 28 passengers per cycle in seven cars, requiring riders to measure between 54 and 75 inches in height.
The front tower features a twisted spiral design, making it the first roller coaster to incorporate a twisted in-line rollback system.
