Firebird is a steel floorless roller coaster manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard that reaches speeds of 55 mph and stands 100 feet tall. The ride has a notable history, originally debuting as Iron Wolf (B&M’s first coaster) at Six Flags Great America before being relocated and later converted from a stand-up coaster to a floorless model in 2019. The layout includes two inversions—a vertical loop and a corkscrew—and is recognized for its intense, compact footprint and the distinctive sensation of having nothing between the riders’ feet and the track.
