New 1,000-foot roller coaster in development to break height records

A new roller coaster, reaching 1,000 feet tall, is in development by an undisclosed manufacturer. This coaster would surpass all existing height and speed records, with plans still under wraps and a location yet to be announced. Currently, the tallest operating coaster is the 415-foot Superman: Escape from Krypton. The upcoming Falcon’s Flight will debut at 640 feet in 2025, but the 1,000-foot coaster would double that height, marking a significant advancement in coaster technology. The project utilizes advanced design techniques to ensure safety and stability. It will require a large area for the track and features a unique braking system to manage high speeds.
