Six Flags Fiesta Texas has reached a major milestone in the construction of Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger, having topped off the ride and completed both the lift hill and first drop.  The park has shared some amazing photos of the ride's construction so far, showing off the exciting elements of this B&M dive coaster that are already in place.

Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger has now completed the station area track, the lift hill, precarious turnaround up top, and the beyond vertical first drop.  The coaster stands 150 feet tall and that first drop actually hits 95 degrees, the steepest that B&M have done on one of their dive coasters to date.  The 21 passenger trains will hit a top speed of 60 miles per hour after the plunge.


The rest of the diabolical layout includes an Immelmann, a barrel roll, another near vertical drop, a couple helicies and an air-time hill.  In total the ride stretches 2,501 feet long.  The park is continuing with the construction process with the Immelmann up next, I'm sure it won't be long before that element is in place.


The park is aiming for a grand opening for Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger in time for the upcoming summer season.
