Chang meaning long in Mandarin Chinese is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. It is a stand-up coaster and at the time it opened, it set the world records for this type of coaster in height, drop, speed, length, and number of inversions. All of these records had eclipsed those of Mantis, which had opened at Cedar Point the year before, and would be eclipsed by those of Riddler’s Revenge, which opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain a year later. Its inversions are, in order: a 121 ft 7 in. tall vertical loop, 103 ft. 10 in. tall diving loop, 72 ft. tall inclined loop, and two corkscrews after the mid-course brake run. The ride is essentially a clone of Mantis, only slightly taller and faster and an extra corkscrew at the end.
