Six Flags Schuyler Lake/Big New Yorker

History
The coaster was first announced on June 11th, 1990. Construction on the ride started in July of 1990.

Due to Bolliger & Mabillard having limited materials due to being new, Giovanola manufactured some track pieces. These pieces are identical to the ones found on Intamin/Giovanola stand up coasters that were also built during this time period.

After some delays, the coaster opened on June 10th, 1991.

During the 2001-2002 off-season, the Twin Towers props were removed from the zero G roll.

The ride was repainted during the 2018-2019 off-season. The ride was reinstated to it's original red and blue colors, after years of fade into a more pink and teal color. Along with that, a replica of the One World Trade Center was added next to the dive loop.
