Texas Giant is a wooden roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas.
When built in 1990, it was the tallest wooden roller coaster in the world. The three trains were built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company and hold twenty four riders each.
The Texas Giant requires rehab during the winter months, thus keeping it closed for Six Flags over Texas' Holiday in the Park event. In 2006, the ride received new gates in its station.
