Standing 62 meters tall, reaching speeds of 115 km/h, stretching 1,215 meters in length and delivering 2 minutes and 21 seconds of intense thrills, this will be the tallest wing coaster on Earth as well as the longest in Europe. Unlike conventional roller coasters where tracks sit beneath or above the train, wing coasters position the seats on either side of the track like wings, giving riders an open-air feeling and a true sensation of flight. What makes this particular coaster so noteworthy is also how uncommon wing coasters are globally: fewer than twenty exist, and only five operate in Europe.

Rokan will climb 62 meters and reach speeds of 115 km/h over a 1,215 m layout.

Beyond its height and length records, the new European ride is already drawing attention for its dramatic layout. After climbing the initial 62-meter ascent, the train won’t simply tip forward — it will execute a wingover drop, a maneuver that inverts riders and creates an inverted free-fall mixed with moments of weightlessness. Named Rokan, the coaster will include four inversions in total, promising a high-adrenaline experience. It’s no surprise this attraction will be built at Poland’s Energylandia, a park visitors often call one of the planet’s most daring, and which was recently voted “Best Amusement Park in Europe” in Travelcircus’s 2026 rankings, ahead of heavyweights like Europa-Park and Disneyland Paris.

Located in Zator, roughly an hour from Kraków, Energylandia may still be little known to many French visitors, but it holds its own against major competitors: with 19 roller coasters now — and 20 once Rokan opens — it will be the amusement park with the most coasters in the world. Rokan is slated to debut in 2027 alongside a new themed area called “Volana,” where the ride will serve as the centerpiece. The entire zone is inspired by a legend about a dragon who guards a valley of stone monoliths and the nomadic tribe that has lived there since ancient times. The Rokan trains will be styled to represent that mythical dragon.

Although the countdown to 2027 has begun and an exact opening date hasn’t been announced, fans don’t have to wait to feel that distinctive flying sensation. Several of Europe’s few other wing coasters—at PortAventura Park in Spain, Gardaland in Italy, Thorpe Park in the U.K., Heide Park in Germany, and Toverland in the Netherlands—are much closer to home and offer riders a chance to experience the concept before taking on the forthcoming Polish giant.
