Tantrum is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Darien Lake in Darien Center, New York. Built by Gerstlauer, it is a Euro-Fighter model and opened on May 25, 2018, on the site of the former Thunder Rapids log flume. It was the park's first new roller coaster in ten years.
Each car seats eight riders, four across in two rows. The car climbs a 98-foot vertical lift and then drops at 97 degrees, beyond vertical. It continues through three inversions, an Immelmann that wraps back around the lift tower, a cutback and an inclined loop, and reaches about 52 mph before the brakes. RCDB gives a track length of about 1,247 feet and a ride time of one minute.
The park lists a minimum height of 48 inches and a maximum of 76 inches.
