Six Flags Fiesta Texas Unveils Werewolf Gorge, World’s Longest Family Launch Coaster

The Vekoma-built, quarry-set coaster is scheduled to open in 2027 for the park’s 35th anniversary and lowers the height requirement to welcome more families.

Overview

  • The park officially revealed Werewolf Gorge during a blue full moon presentation on May 30, 2026, finishing the event with a choreographed drone display of the ride logo.
  • Six Flags says the Vekoma coaster will run 4,120 feet with four launches, a mid-course rollback, 32 floater airtime moments, a 40-foot drop, 45 mph top speed and a 39-inch minimum rider height.
  • Themed to a werewolf and cryptid story world set in the park’s former limestone quarry, the attraction includes a narrative around fictional entrepreneur Jasper Bunyan and queue exhibits called the Museum of Cryptids and Werewolf Museum.
  • Werewolf Gorge is billed as the longest family launch coaster in the world and will debut in 2027 as a signature addition for Six Flags Fiesta Texas’ 35th anniversary season, though the park has not announced an exact opening date.
  • The project continues an industry trend toward high-capacity, story-driven family coasters and immediately drew fan comparisons to other werewolf-themed family attractions, signaling how parks now measure new rides against recent themed experiences.
