T² (pronounced T-Two) is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. It was the first Vekoma SLC (for Suspended Looping Coaster) in North America. The full name of the ride is T² – Terror to the Second Power.
T² was originally painted red, which is why the station is painted red instead of black like the rest of the ride. Six Flags originally stated that the ride would receive a Batman theme. The ride was painted black to match all of the other Batman the Ride coasters, but the rest of the theme was never built.
The ride is disliked by some coaster enthusiasts due to T² being extremely rough and painful to ride, a common complaint of Vekoma coasters.
As of the 2008 season, the once-rusting sign has been renewed.
