Six Flags has announced that it will debut seven new rollercoasters in 2025, with the company also planning an expansion of its seasonal events.
Recently merged with Cedar Fair, the newly formed Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has promised that its new coasters will “redefine the park experience”.
At Six Flags Great America, Wrath of Ralshasha is a B&M coaster that will break a number of world records once open. Featuring a beyond-vertical, 171ft (52m) drop - the steepest of any dive coaster in the world - the ride will reach speeds of up to 67mph (107.8kmph). It will also hold the record for most inversions on a dive coaster, with five total planned for the ride.
Meanwhile, Camp Snoopy at Carowinds will introduce two new family-friendly attractions in 2025, including a new launch coaster and an interactive raft ride.
At Canada’s Wonderland, AlpenFury will be a first-of-its-kind rollercoaster, with the ride breaking the record for tallest, fastest and longest launch coaster in Canada. Featuring nine inversions, the most of any launch coaster in North America, the ride will reach speeds of up 71mph (114kmph) and heights of 164ft (50m) across 3,281ft (1,000m) of track.
Six Flags New England will open the Quantum Accelerator coaster in 2025. An LSM propulsion, multi-launch roller coaster, the ride, which reaches speeds of up to 45mph (72.4kmph) is set to be New England’s first straddle coaster. On board, guests will experience 11 moments of airtime as they ride coaster cars designed to look like futuristic motorbikes.
In central Virginia, Kings Dominion is celebrating its 50th year with the launch of Rapterra in 2025. Standing 145ft (44.2m) tall and stretching 3,086ft (940.6m), the attraction will break the records to become the world's tallest and longest launched wing coaster.
Ohio is set to welcome the state’s only dual-racing water coaster, with King’s Island’s Soak City Water Park welcoming RiverRacers. On the ride, guests are sent down a three-story first drop before being propelled uphill through a mirrored race course of enclosed and open tubes and 180-degree high-bank turns.
“Our capital plans for the year ahead reaffirm our commitment to providing unparalleled thrills, immersive entertainment and unforgettable memories to guests of all ages,” said Six Flags president and CEO Richard Zimmerman.
“Whether you’re a diehard fan of record-breaking coasters and water slides, a food lover on the prowl for unique and tasty treats, or a lifelong devotee of over-the-top festivals and live entertainment, you’ll find something to enjoy at our parks in 2025.”
