Rougarou

The Rougarou roller coaster stretches 137 feet high and propels riders at speeds of 60 miles per hour through multiple inversions and loops.

Originally named Mantis when it opened in 1996, the roller coaster transformed into Rougarou in 2015 after converting from a stand-up to a floorless design.

The name derives from French folklore, referring to a mythological creature that inhabits the swamps of Louisiana and transforms into a wolf.

The roller coaster accommodates four riders per row with an operating capacity of 1,800 passengers per hour, requiring a minimum height of 54 inches.

The track features an inclined loop, making it the first roller coaster in the world to incorporate this engineering element into its design.
