The biggest order in MACK Rides history is being constructed right now at Europa-Park, Germany. The blue-colored track announces a new milestone in the construction of MACK Rides, offering spectacular rollercoasters featuring inversions and a new launch system.
Featuring a LSM launch the 20-seater-trains will be accelerated up to 100 km/h to finish the twisted track. A breath-taking layout is waiting for it’s riders with a classical looping, two corkscrews and a heart-line-roll, the track also provides several high-speed turns.
With a five-train operation this new Launch Coaster of MACK Rides is able to transport over 1700 riders per hour. The combination of Dark-Ride and Launch Coaster is one of the upcoming highlights in the 2009 season of Europa-Park.
The most comfortable lap-bars, providing access for riders up from 8 years and a height of 1.30 meters, makes sure that the whole family can experience a unique adventure.
