Six Flags open world's tallest, steepest and fastest wooden roller coaster. Daredevils will be flocking to Gurnee in Illinois this summer for the chance to take on Goliath - the world's tallest, steepest, fastest roller coaster. The latest attraction which opened at Six Flags Great America on Thursday is a wooden roller coaster that breaks three world records. Those brave enough to take a ride on it will be plunged down a 180ft near-vertical drop, as the roller coaster twists and turns at speeds of up to 72mph.
Banshee stands 167 feet (51 m) tall and features a first drop of 150 feet (46 m). With a length of 4,124 feet (1,257 m), the ride is the world's longest inverted roller coaster. The ride includes seven inversions including two vertical loops, a dive loop, a zero-g roll, a pretzel knot and an inline twist.
