Colorado is getting a crazy cool new roller coaster!
According to USA Today:
With a 110-foot freefall drop at a beyond-vertical 102.3 degrees and three disorienting inversions, Defiance, a new roller coaster coming next summer to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, would be plenty thrilling regardless of its location.
But hereâs what will put it over the edge: It will straddle Iron Mountain, some 1,300 feet above the town and the Colorado River. You can start screaming now.
Representing the small parkâs largest ride investment to date, Defiance will capitalize on Glenwood Cavernsâ unique mountaintop location and provide new ways to experience its spectacular vistas.
âWe thought this would be out of our league,â says Nancy Heard, the parkâs general manager, referring to the extreme coaster. âAnd it is a bit of a stretch. But the view will be absolutely phenomenal. And the drop will take your breath away.â
