Space is becoming an ever-increasing issue for many parks, thus the engineers at Intamin responded to this challenge by incorporating a vertical lift into a coaster. This exceptional, breathtaking attraction has a compact layout bursting with thrill and consisting of a space efficient and eye-catching lifting system. This lift system is unique in the market because of its hydraulically-driven, energy-efficient, double chain drive system.
As the name suggests, the Vertical Lift Coaster commences with a 90° ascent. Upon reaching the track apex, the train dives downwards at a spectacular 97° drop angle! With exhilarating speed, the riders then soar through corkscrews, cobra roll, airborne “S” curves, inverted loop, and over airtime hills. . All these figures can be executed thanks to the use of the latest technologies in design and manufacturing procedures, resulting in a dynamic, thrilling and smooth ride, capped off by a smooth deceleration using Intamin's patented magnetic braking system. |
