Defiance is a brand new steel roller coaster located at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The coaster will straddle the Iron Mountain and be located some 1,300 feet (400 m) above the town of Glenwood Springs, and approximately 7,132 feet (2,174 m) above sea level.
In April 2021, ride manufacturer Gerstlauer and US collaborator Ride Entertainment Group revealed their intention to construct a record breaking coaster for a client in the United States, sparking mass speculation. In an interview with industry magazine Amusement Today, Ride Entertainment CEO Ed Hiller said, "Working with Gerstlauer for over 25 years, I am always astounded by their creativity and ability to innovate no matter what the project is." Hiller proceeded to describe the project as having "[a] custom layout and challenging location", and that "[It] will certainly be one of the most formidable installations we have faced".
On August 5, 2021, Glenwood Caverns announced the addition of Defiance. The park held an official groundbreaking ceremony for the attraction on the morning of August 20, 2021.
