World's First Dual Looping Coaster Coming in 2018 The Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster is set to open in Spring 2018. This first of its kind inverted looping coaster features continuous inversions along a vertically stacked figure eight track. The ride also features multiple head-to-head high flybys at combined speeds of 70 miles per hour for the ultimate dueling adventure ride. Highlights of the ride include up to 12 head-over-heels inversions, three forward rotations and another three in the opposite direction, and five moments when the two high speed trains pass each other at a combined speed of 70 miles per hour giving the illusion that riders can actually reach out and "high five" the other riders as they careen by. For 56 years, Six Flags has entertained millions of families with roller coasters, themed rides, water parks and unique attractions. For more information, click here.
