History
editOrigins
editVekoma had first introduced the Tilt Coaster in 2002 with Gravity Max at Lihpao Land in Taichung, Taiwan, using a seesaw track to tilt the train at a 90° angle before releasing it into the drop. The concept failed to take off with potential customers and Vekoma subsequently shelved the product. Development on a second-generation model resumed in the 2010's after their technology had advanced, and particularly after Chinese competitor Golden Horse had begun selling their own Tilt Coasters. A prototype module of the Tilt Track was set up in September 2021 at Vekoma's factory in Vlodrop, The Netherlands. It was operational for a year from to May 2022 to 2023 before being dismantled for use on a full coaster installation.
The installation in question belonged to Energylandia in Zator, Poland, who had by that time produced close to a dozen different attractions from Vekoma and its related companies. The project was formally announced in February 2022 at a cost of PLN50,650,000zł, with PLN19,998,300zł to be financed by the European Union. However, Energylandia failed to move forwards with the attraction and terminated the contract in October 2023. Vekoma kept the project in reserve; then-Six Flags management had been procuring other partially-produced roller coasters from the company and soon gained interest in the Tilt Coaster.
Planning
editRed coaster track first began arriving at Six Flags Mexico in June 2024.
