New roller coasters 2027 announcements are coming in fast, led by Six Flags Great Adventure’s 382-foot Bakunawa spinning launch coaster. This tracker lists every coaster a park or operator has officially confirmed for 2027 (9 in the US and 10 elsewhere as of September 25, 2026), with the manufacturer, the stats the park has released, and a link to the announcement.
Only official announcements make the list: rumors, permit filings and unnamed teasers stay in the watch list at the bottom until the park confirms them. Stats are the park’s own numbers; where a park has not released a figure we say so instead of borrowing an estimate. We update this page as new rides are announced through the IAAPA Expo in mid-November, when most remaining 2027 reveals land.

How this tracker is verified
Every coaster in the tables links to the park’s own announcement or a news report that quotes it, and stats are checked against the park’s figures and the Roller Coaster DataBase (RCDB). When RCDB and a park disagree (RCDB still lists old stats for Thrill Glider, for example), we use the park’s number and note the difference. Spotted a new announcement? The page is refreshed through IAAPA Expo week in November 2026.
