Trivia

 * Patriot is the first floorless roller coaster in the park's 41-year history, as Vortex was a stand-up coaster.
 * The inspiration for the coaster’s name was taken from the fact that the ride is nestled adjacent to All American Corners within a park whose name celebrates America.
 * The change of the name and style of the coaster is very similar to the Mantis transformation to Rougarou made at Cedar Point during the 2014-15 season.
