Texas’ Tallest Roller Coaster

Standing 245 feet tall, Titan is the tallest roller coaster in the state of Texas. The first drop is 255 feet as it swoops through an underground tunnel 10 feet deep. The layout of the ride is so large that it spans out over the park's employee entrance and near the overflow parking lot. In the summer, Titan can reach speeds of over 90 miles per hour. These speeds are enough to melt train wheels. However, a misting system was installed to ensure that the wheels always stay cool enough for safe operation. The ride came in at a total cost of $25 million and was added to the park as part of Six Flags Over Texas' 40th anniversary season.

Striking Similarities

Goliath, located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California, is quite similar to Titan at Six Flags Over Texas. Both coasters look nearly identical, all the way down to their painted colors. The differences are in the fine details. Titan stands 10 feet taller than Goliath, though Goliath's deeper underground tunnel gives the ride the same 255-foot drop. Titan's path into the mid-course brake run is also a helix while Goliath simply banks to the left to enter its brake run. Though commercials featuring Six Flags Over Texas may appear to be using footage of Titan, the clips are usually shots of Goliath.
