Patriot is a steel family roller coaster at Castles N’ Coasters in Phoenix, Arizona, that features a double-circuit layout around a central American flag. Manufactured by Hopkins Rides and opened in 1992, the attraction stands 20 feet tall and reaches a top speed of 22 mph while navigating a 1,114-foot track. The ride utilizes a single seven-car train with a 38-inch height requirement, making it accessible for younger riders transitioning to larger attractions. The layout consists of a series of gentle dips and a 270-degree helix that encircles the park’s Desert Storm coaster, allowing for close-proximity interaction between the two rides.
