Iron Rattler at RCDB
Iron Rattler is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. Originally opening as a wooden coaster called Rattler in 1992, it was converted to steel and renamed Iron Rattler in 2013. Designed by Alan Schilke and built by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), the ride features a zero-g-roll inversion, which was a first among hybrid coasters made of wood and steel.[2][3]
The wooden Rattler was constructed by the now-defunct and controversial Roller Coaster Corporation of America, opening as the tallest and fastest wooden coaster in the world. It featured a height of 179 feet (55 m), a drop of 166 feet (51 m). Following head and neck injury reports, Rattler was toned down in 1994 with a major reduction to its first drop. RMC modified the wooden Rattler by placing new steel track on top of the existing wooden support structure. The first drop was steepened to 81 degrees and lowered from 124 to 171 feet (38 to 52 m), resulting in a top speed of 70 miles per hour (110 km/h).
