Roar at RCDB

Roar (trademarked as ROAR) is a pair of wooden roller coasters in the United States – a decommissioned ride at Six Flags America in Woodmore, Maryland and a defunct ride at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. Both rides were designed and built by Great Coasters International (GCI). In 2015, Discovery Kingdom announced the retirement of its version of Roar, which Rocky Mountain Construction later renovated and transformed into The Joker, a hybrid roller coaster. Roar at Six Flags America closed with the park on November 2, 2025.
