Excalibur is a wooden roller coaster at Funtown Splashtown USA in Saco, Maine. Built by Custom Coasters International and designed by Larry Bill, it opened on June 5, 1998. The park calls it the largest expansion in its history, and it was the first wooden coaster in Maine in more than 50 years.
The ride climbs a chain lift hill to a height of 100 feet, then drops 82 feet and reaches a top speed of 55 mph. The track is 2,700 feet long, has no inversions, and a ride lasts about two minutes. The park describes Excalibur as the tallest and longest wooden coaster in northern New England.
Riders must be at least 48 inches tall. Excalibur is one of two roller coasters at the park, alongside the Wild Mouse.
