Roar is defunct wooden roller coaster that operated at @sixflagsDK from 1999 until 2015. Built by GCI, she wasn't as large as some of the other wooden roller coasters built around the time, reaching a top height of only 95 feet and a top speed of 50MPH. However, she wasn't a fan favorite, and in 2015 was transformed into a RMC wood-steel hybrid known today at The Joker.

Do you ever wake up and randomly miss Opryland USA? (we're a dying breed) Well Kong at @sixflagsDK is a leftover relic of Opryland, and a chance to ride a piece of history.

This #Vekoma sidewinder opened originally in 1995 as Hangman at Opryland USA. When the park closed in 1997 it was moved to Discovery Kingdom where it still operates today as #Kong
