Full Throttle

Full Throttle opened in 2013 as Premier Rides' answer to the modern launch coaster, but with a twist most launch coasters don't attempt: riders are launched forward, sent through a towering vertical loop, and then launched a second time — backward — through the same loop and back through the station itself, which the train flies straight through mid-ride.

At its debut, the loop measured 160 feet tall, making it the largest vertical loop element on any coaster in the world, a title that drew significant attention from the enthusiast community given how rarely loop height records get broken outright. Because the ride reuses the same loop and station structure for both directions, the entire layout fits into a remarkably compact 2,200-foot footprint that takes barely ninety seconds to complete.

The motorcycle-and-racing theme ties into Six Flags' broader "Full Throttle" branding push around 2013, and the ride's dueling launch directions give it a distinct rhythm compared to the park's other launch coasters — riders get two entirely different sensations of speed and orientation within a single, short ride cycle.
