Twists, turns, and tailwhips

Brace yourself for the bite of the Steel Taipan. With 1.2km of wild twists, gut-dropping launches, and four inversions at a fang-in 105km/h, this ride’s got all the speed you crave. And don’t miss the world-first 'Tailwhip' spinning seat for an extra twist – if you dare!

Striking features

Tailwhip 360-degree spinning seat

Have you got what it takes to take on the world-first ‘Tailwhip’? Upgrade to one of two 360-degree spinning gondolas at the tail of the Steel Taipan, each spinning independently through every epic twist and turn.

Triple launch system

The Southern Hemisphere's first triple launch system packs a sting, launching the coaster forwards, backwards, and then forwards again, to send you around the track at top speeds of 105km/h.

Stall & twisted half-pipe

The Steel Taipan’s second launch sends you up the twisted half-pipe – backwards – then stalls at the top of the 'tail spike’, before striking with the third launch.

105km/h & 3.8 G-Force

Steel Taipan sends you through the twists and turns hitting a top speed of 105km/h and a G-force of 3.8!

Based on Blue Fire

Steel Taipan is based on the world’s number one launch coaster model, Germany's award-winning Blue Fire.

1.2km Track

You'll love every minute whilst you snake around the 1.2km of twists, turns and gut-lurching launches!
