Tantrum is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake in Darien, New York, United States. It is a Euro-Fighter roller coaster manufactured by German manufacturer Gerstlauer and opened on May 25, 2018.[2] It was the first roller coaster in the state of New York to feature a beyond-vertical drop and the park's first new roller coaster since 2008.[1]
Ride experience[]
Immediately upon leaving the station, the car turns slightly to the left and then begins to ascend the 98.4-foot (30.0 m) lift hill. The car then descends a 97-degree beyond-vertical drop, reaching a speed of 52.8 miles per hour (85.0 km/h). The car then enters an Immelmann loop before traveling through a curved drop to the right. The car then enters a cutback, followed by an inclined loop. The train then enters the brake run before turning left into the station. A ride on Tantrum lasts approximately one minute.[2][3]
