Roar, Wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, US
The Roar roller coaster stretched 3,291 feet in length and reached speeds of 50.5 miles per hour with a height of 95 feet.
Great Coasters International constructed this wooden coaster in 1999 as the third installation in their company portfolio, featuring their signature Millennium Flyer trains.
The coaster served as many visitors' first major thrill ride experience, with some guests recording over 500 rides during its operational period.
The ride configuration included two trains with twelve cars each, utilizing seat belts and lap bars to accommodate 24 riders per dispatch.
After serving 11 million riders, Roar closed in 2015 and transformed into The Joker, marking the first conversion of a GCI coaster in Northern California.
