The Six Flags located in Texas is planning to build a rollercoaster with the “world’s steepest drop.”
If you got sick from theme park rides before, make sure you don’t try out Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffanger. The new rollercoaster with the “world’s steepest drop” will find its home at Six Flags Fiesta in San Antonio, Texas, and it is set to make its debut in 2022. According to Fox Business, the rollercoaster will feature a 95-degree “beyond vertical” drop after its initial climb of 150-feet.
The ride has a capacity of 21 passengers, and it travels 60 miles per hour. According to a press release, the coaster’s background story involves a mad scientist who tricks people onto the ride in an effort to collect their fear.
“Dr. Diabolical proclaims to have an elixir from the fountain of youth that is capable of preserving life,” the press release reads. “She lures unsuspecting visitors to partake, but little do they know that she is using them to fulfill her evil plan to frighten the world with her menacing creatures. Dr. Diabolical built a machine to harvest the essence of human adrenaline and fear in order to nourish her creatures.”
The ride will be located in the Crackaxle Canyon Screampunk District of the park.
