What it is
Titan is the biggest thing between the coasts at this chain: 245 feet tall, 85 miles per hour, and a course that spends its speed through enormous turns rather than hills. It is the sister design of Magic Mountain's Goliath with a Texas-scale layout bolted on.
The ride's reputation is its finale: a descending spiral sequence where the g-forces build and hold long enough that front-row riders regularly report brief grey-outs. That, plus the drop, makes Titan the most physically intense coaster in the park and one of the most intense anywhere in the chain.
At 48 inches it shares the family-threshold tier with the Giant despite being dramatically bigger — the height bar and the intensity bar are not the same thing, and parents should know which one their rider clears.
What riding it is actually like
The lift takes a full minute and shows you Dallas–Fort Worth. The drop is a sustained roar — 245 feet at a steep pitch, no twists, just commitment. The speed carries into the overbanked turn, a near-inversion that leans you sideways over the structure without flipping.
The middle is speed management: enormous turns taken at full pace, each one banking harder than looks possible. Then the spiral finale — the track descends in tightening circles and the g comes on like a thumb pressing on your chest. It releases at the brake run all at once.
Hydrate, sit toward the back if you grey out easily (the front pulls hardest), and treat the first ride as reconnaissance. Titan is a coaster you learn.
Is Titan scary?
A 245-foot drop at 85 mph into a helix sequence that greys out the unwary. The combination of extreme speed and sustained positive g makes this one of the most physically demanding coasters at any Six Flags.
Scores are editorial, on a 1–5 scale, judged against what frightens a typical four- to seven-year-old rather than an adult.

Tips that actually help
- Ride after 16:00 — shorter queue, cooler queue, and the g-tolerance is better hydrated.
- Front row is where the grey-out happens; sit mid-train if that is not your idea of fun.
- Do not ride Titan immediately after lunch. The helix finale is unforgiving.

Titan: common questions
Does Titan really cause grey-outs?
The sustained spiral finale pulls high positive g long enough that some riders — especially in the front row — experience brief peripheral vision loss. It passes in seconds. It is a known feature of the ride, and riders with cardiovascular concerns should skip it.
What is the height requirement for Titan?
48 inches. That is the same bar as the New Texas Giant despite Titan being a much more intense ride — judge your rider on tolerance, not just height.
Titan or the New Texas Giant?
Different jobs. Titan is raw speed and force; the Giant is airtime and craftsmanship. Most riders prefer the Giant overall and respect Titan more. Do both — they are a hundred yards apart.
