Six Flags Fiesta Texas, The Thrill Capital of South Texas, today
unveiled plans to debut the world’s steepest dive roller
coaster—Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger. This exhilarating new
dive coaster features a cliffhanger hold, which suspends riders as
they face straight down a 95-degree, beyond-vertical drop, then
releases them moments later into a terrifying 150-foot dive.

“Six Flags Fiesta Texas continues to push the limits of thrill
and innovation as we prepare to introduce the world’s steepest dive
coaster during our 30th anniversary season,” said Park President
Jeffrey Siebert. “Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger joins an already
stellar lineup of record-breaking roller coasters, rides, and
attractions. With eight intense elements including dramatic
inversions and extreme airtime, it will quickly become a fan
favorite,” added Siebert.
As guests enter the ride queue, they will be immersed in the
story of Dr. Diabolical and her evil quest to create menacing
creatures to frighten the world. To give her creations life, Dr.
Diabolical constructed a machine to capture the essence of human
adrenaline and fear. Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger features
three 21-passenger trains that keep the adrenaline flowing as
riders reach a height of 15 stories, then pause face-first before
diving at 60 mph and flying through a variety of high-thrill
experiences.
Key features of Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger include:
- Three sleek trains with three rows of passengers, seated seven
across;
- 2,501 feet of soaring track;
- Thrilling anticipation while the ride vehicle pauses in a
face-first cliffhanger hold before plummeting 150 feet;
- Spectacular, beyond-vertical, 95-degree first drop;
- A second 75-foot, near-vertical drop;
- An Immelmann inversion, during which riders enter a half-loop,
followed by a half twist, then exit the element traveling in the
opposite direction making a 180-degree turn;
- Four intense elements, including an extreme airtime hill,
wild-banked turn, high-speed spiral, and 270-degree zero-g
roll;
- Speeds of up to 60 mph;
- Immersive steampunk theming that tells the story of Dr.
Diabolical’s plot to harvest fear; and
- Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger is a custom-designed roller
coaster created by Bolliger & Mabillard.
Riders must meet the 52-inch height requirement. Dr.
Diabolical’s Cliffhanger was announced during the FT92 Fan
Event, and will debut in the summer of 2022 during the park’s 30th
Anniversary season. It will be located in the Crackaxle Canyon
Screampunk District.
