Premier Rides has been selected to design and manufacture the newest high-thrill roller coaster for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California.
The 'Superman' branded ride, created in a partnership between Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Premier Rides, is scheduled to open in the spring of 2012.
The custom layout, a one-of-a-kind super launch coaster, features what is said to be the tallest inversion west of the Mississippi and will rank alongside the tallest coaster inversions in the world.
At 150ft/46m in height, riders will experience speeds of 62mph/100kph, with two upside-down twists and two vertical rolls.
Park President Dale Kaetzel said: "We’re excited to bring this calibre of ride to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
"We believe that Premier Rides' new attraction will satisfy even the most fearless thrill-seekers - and then some."
Painted in a vibrant blue, red, and yellow, the steel coaster will be visible from California's Highway 37 and beyond from its location on the eastern side of the park.
