Apocalypse, Stand-up steel roller coaster at Six Flags America, Prince George's County, US.
The steel roller coaster stretches 2,900 feet in length, rises 100 feet high, and propels riders through a vertical loop and corkscrew at 55 miles per hour.
Built by Bolliger & Mabillard in 1990, the coaster first operated as Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America before moving to Six Flags America in 2012 as Apocalypse.
The roller coaster appeared in the 1994 film Richie Rich, where it served as the main character's personal backyard amusement ride.
The rollercoaster requires riders to measure at least 54 inches in height and operates with two trains carrying 24 passengers each, serving 1,220 riders per hour.
In 2019, the coaster transformed from a stand-up design to a floorless configuration, receiving new trains and the name Firebird while maintaining its original track layout.
