The Roller Coaster Corporation of America, or RCCA, was an American company known for their wooden roller coasters. RCCA built seven coasters in total, and three are still operating as of today.

History

RCCA was founded by Michael and Stephen Black, sons of Marvin Black. Marvin Black had owned Marvin M. Black Co., which constructed numerous wooden roller coasters in the 1970s and 1980s. RCCA's first major project was The Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 1992.

One of the company's largest projects was Son of Beast at Kings Island in 2000. RCCA faced many problems with their Son of Beast roller coaster, such as design flaws and inferior supports, which led to a lawsuit between Kings Island and RCCA.

The company's last project was Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid in 2002.

RCCA ceased operation in 2005.

Son of Beast at Kings Island in 2009, after the removal of its vertical loop.

The Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 2006.
