Pandemonium is a Gerstlauer spinning roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas, USA.[1] The ride was originally billed as the "total Tony Hawk experience" and is designed to have the look and feel of a giant red-and-black skatepark. It replaced the Wildcatter, an Intamin Freefall ride.

Trains
8 cars. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 4 riders per car. The cars are designed to look like skateboards.
