Excalibur was a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston, Texas, USA. The attraction was built by Arrow Development and opened in 1972 as Dexter Frebish's Electric Roller Ride. It became Excalibur in 1981. The ride closed in 1998 and was later replaced by Serial Thriller in 1999. It was relocated to Frontier City in 1999, but it was never reassembled. Excalibur was eventually scrapped in 2005, with its trains being sent to Six Flags Over Texas as spare parts for Runaway Mine Train.
