Titan is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. Built by Giovanola and designed by Werner Stengel, the 245 ft hypercoaster features an out and back and twister track layout, a 255 ft drop, and a maximum speed of 85 mph. Titan opened as the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in Texas.[1]
History
Six Flags Over Texas made plans to add a hypercoaster to the park's lineup with an early proposal from Arrow Dynamics, placing a new roller coaster over the park's reservoir next to the Judge Roy Scream attraction. In August 2000, the park publicly revealed their plans in celebration of the park's 40th anniversary. Although specifications were withheld, they confirmed Giovanola as the manufacturer and that the new coaster would be similar to Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain and constructed in the Texas section of the park.[2] As survey markers began to appear in September, it became clear that the new coaster would extend from the Texas section to the employee cantina, pool and softball fields then out into the parking lot.
