Roar is the name of a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags America in Prince George's County, Maryland. The coaster is a custom-built coaster with a twisted, highly banked track, which has twenty crossovers and a 230-foot roofed tunnel. Roar's trains were built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
[edit] Trivia
The ride is commonly known as "Roar East" to roller coaster enthusiasts. "Roar West" resides at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Both coasters were manufactured by Great Coasters International, and have similar layouts.
