New roller coasters for 2027 are stacking up fast, and the list just got a new entry: Lagoon in Utah officially unveiled J3 Grand Prix, the first Intamin Hot Racer in the United States, pushing the confirmed 2027 count to 20 worldwide. Six Flags Great Adventure’s 382-foot Bakunawa spinning launch coaster is still the headline ride of the year, but it has company from Poland to Japan.
This tracker lists every 2027 coaster a park or manufacturer has officially confirmed — 10 in the US and 10 elsewhere as of October 12, 2026 — with the manufacturer, the park’s own released stats, and a source link for every entry. Rumors, permit filings and unnamed teasers (including Energylandia’s still-unnamed 2027 project) stay in the watch list at the bottom until the park confirms them. We update this page through the IAAPA Expo in mid-November, when most of the remaining 2027 reveals typically land.

Watch List: Not Yet Officially Confirmed for 2027
Energylandia’s unnamed coaster (Zator, Poland): the park is actively building a new steel coaster, with footers and track visible on-site, but has not released an official name, manufacturer or stats — enthusiast speculation points to B&M, unconfirmed. Spider-Man coaster (Shanghai Disneyland): track installation finished mid-2026 and testing has begun, but Disney has not announced an exact opening date, only a general 2027 target. Kumba’s Revenge (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay): the name and site are confirmed after Kumba’s August 2026 closure, but manufacturer, layout and timing are still unannounced. The still-unnamed RMC single-rail coaster at Family Kingdom (Myrtle Beach, SC): delayed out of 2026 into 2027, with released stats (100 ft, 52 mph, 3 inversions) but no official name yet. A record-breaking coaster at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi: announced in 2025 with no confirmed opening year.
How This Tracker Is Verified
Every entry above comes from a park press release, an operator’s official announcement, or direct reporting on construction milestones from outlets like Attractions Magazine, Coaster101 and the park’s own site — never from permit filings or third-party speculation. Where a park hasn’t released a number (height, speed, length), we say so rather than estimating. We re-check every line of this page against current sources and sweep for new reveals through IAAPA Expo week in mid-November 2026.
Photos
Ride with your glasses on and keep them. Many parks allow glasses on rides if they're strapped, so check the ride rules first.
Small enough to ride with on most coasters, big enough for a phone, card and keys. Two zippers mean nothing falls out upside down.
A fan and a mist in one, rechargeable. Very popular in queue lines once the afternoon sun hits.
