Roar is a wooden roller coaster located at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. The coaster has twenty-two crossovers and a 200 foot roofed tunnel.

Roar is a near clone of Roar at Six Flags America; however, it features a different approach to the lift, an added bunny hill within the tunnel, and an added bunny hill before the final break run. Discovery Kingdom's Roar also was designed to be smaller with tighter turns than Roar at Six Flags America. The change in design allows for higher lateral g-forces and an increased sensation of speed.

Roar is able to handle the more compact layout due to its trains. Roar was the first coaster to use Millennium Flyer trains, built by GCI and modeled after classic Traver Era "Century Flyer" trains built by Prior and Church.
