The other big news is the debut of their new record breaking roller coaster "Steel Vengeance," which is slated to become the world's tallest hybrid roller coaster at 205 feet tall and the world's fastest hybrid roller coaster at 74 miles per hour.
At more than 200 feet tall, the new hybrid design combines a steel running track on a massive wooden structure that provides an extremely smooth and comfortable ride while enabling the coaster’s trains to perform maneuvers previously unheard of on a wooden roller coaster.
