Renegade is a wood roller coaster at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota. Having its name derived from its theme song "Renegade" by Styx[citation needed], this coaster was designed by Great Coasters International. Renegade's layout is a combination of an Out and Back roller coaster and a Twister roller coaster.
Renegade stands 104 feet tall with a first hill and ride maximum drop of 91 feet at a maximum speed of 52 mph. The track is 3,113 feet 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 12 two-passenger cars, accommodate 850 riders per hour.
This coaster has two rare features: the initial first drop and a high-speed station fly-by. The first hill of this coaster features an S-shaped drop. It initially goes down in one direction and half-way though twists in the opposite direction. Before the train comes back to the station it does a final high speed fly-by 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.
