Renegade is a wooden roller coaster at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota, that was designed by Great Coasters International.[1] It was one of the first coasters built by Great Coasters International to use their Millennium Flyer trains, which are designed to give a smoother ride. Renegade's layout is a combination of an out-and-back and a twister roller coaster.
Renegade stands 97.5feet tall with a first hill and ride maximum drop of 91feet at a maximum speed of 51.3mi/h. The track is 3113feet long, resulting in a ride time of approximately two minutes. The track was built at a cost of approximately $6.5 million. Two trains, consisting of 24 seats, accommodate 850 riders per hour.
This coaster has two rare features: the initial first drop and a high-speed station fly-by.[2] The first hill of this coaster features an S-shaped drop. It initially goes down in one direction and at half-way twists in the opposite direction. Before the train comes back to the station it does a final high speed fly-by of the loading station. Since its opening, it is one of the most popular rides at Valleyfair.
It was featured on Discovery Channel's Build It Bigger program on July 10, 2007.
