Description
Part of January 2023 challenge.

A spinning coaster is a roller coaster with cars that rotate on a vertical axis. This element gives a different experience every ride.

There are several versions of a spinning coaster and this one is more aligned to the single car Maurer Sohne type first introduced in 1994, in which riders faced each other. This version has larger twisted layouts and would use more banked turns and vertical hairpins in comparison to its wild mouse variant. Some real life examples you can use as references are: Spider, Winjas, Spinball Whizzer, and Dragon's Fury.

Coaster tip: Because this ride doesn't use a train, it makes it more challenging to increase rider occupancy. To tackle this, coaster manufacturers of this ride type will introduce at a minimum two lifts (Cobra's Curse in Busch Gardens has three sections) This way they can have multiple cars safely on the track at the same time.



Excitement: 69.4 (Very high)
Intensity: 29.2 (Low)
Nausea: 30.2 (Medium)

Approximate Cost: ~$9,005.80
Approximate Cost (without decoration): ~$3,799.00

@The Fleen - nope, haven't heard of that project or played the video game.

would this in any way have anything to do with fan project to recreate the Lego Rock Raiders video game, under the same name?
