The New Texas Giant

Winner of the 2011 "Best New Ride Award," the year-long enhancement of the Texas Giant returned this much-loved ride to its proper place as the world's top wooden coaster.

This new super hybrid has a state-of-the-art track of steel fabrication, with the steepest drop of any wooden coaster in the world at 79 degrees. The lift hill is 10 feet taller than the original
Texas Giant. It has a record-breaking bank of 95 degrees, steeper than any other wooden/steel coaster on the planet. The new Texas Giant

In true Texas fashion, the New Texas Giant trains symbolize everything that is grand and great about the Lone Star State.  The ride boasts three trains that pay homage to the popular 1961 Cadillac Deville.  From the replicated body of the car, to the grill, headlights and tail lights, the look of these trains will take guests on a smooth and exhilarating ride with a nostalgic twist.  To top it off, each train has a custom-made “cattle horn” and custom saddle designed seats.

• The three train colors are aqua metallic, black metallic and red metallic.
• Each train will hold 24 passengers in stadium style seating.
• Each train is approximately 48 feet long and almost  5 feet wide.
• The lap bar restraints have been custom designed with a saddle horn.
