Roar, Wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, US
Roar was a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom featuring steep drops and sharp turns built from timber and steel support structures. The ride delivered rapid acceleration and sudden direction changes that created an intense experience for visitors.
The coaster was built in 1999 by Great Coasters International as an early project for the company in California. It operated for more than a decade before being transformed into a different attraction on the same site.
The coaster served as many visitors' first major thrill ride experience, with some guests recording over 500 rides during its operational period.
The ride was accessible during park hours depending on weather conditions and maintenance schedules that could affect operations. Visitors should have anticipated variable availability and followed all safety guidelines before boarding.
The coaster attracted millions of riders throughout its years before undergoing a complete redesign at the park. This transformation was notable because it marked the first time a wooden coaster from this manufacturer was so drastically reimagined.
