180m Crazy Mouse Roller Coaster

A 180m crazy mouse roller coaster is the coaster a park buys when the plot is fixed and the budget is real. The whole circuit fits a 17 x 28 m site, and four spinning cars run on 180 m of track at up to 35 km/h.

It fits inside an operating park without moving anything else, and it is complete enough to be the reason people come back the following weekend.

What a 180 m mouse coaster is like to ride

The track height is 7 m and the cars are free to spin. That combination produces the feeling the model is named for: the car turns while it drops, so no two riders face the same direction at the bottom.

It is a family coaster rather than a thrill coaster. Teenagers ride it repeatedly, parents ride it with them, and the height stays below the point where the queue splits by age.

Why a short circuit suits a park buying its first coaster

A long coaster needs a long plot, a bigger foundation programme and a longer queue. A 180 m circuit needs a corner of the park and a station, and it can open in the same season as the decision.

Four cars keep departures frequent. On a 180 m circuit the cars come back quickly, so the queue moves even when the park is busy.

Site check before you order

• A 17 x 28 m plot with the station inside it
• Access for the track sections and the crane during assembly
• 10.5 kW at 380 V 50 Hz, with the cabinet position agreed
• A queue and exit line that does not cross a walkway
• The documentation set for your local authority

Running it: 10.5 kW and a two-person crew

Rated power is 10.5 kW with a 7.5 kW drive, which is the lightest load in the coaster range. The lift does the work and the cars run downhill from there, so the energy bill stays flat even on a long operating day. If the choice is between this circuit and a family coaster, crazy mouse or family roller coaster compares them on plot, audience and price.

Two staff run the station: one on the control panel, one on the gate. That crew size is what makes a coaster of this size viable for a park that is open every day rather than only at weekends.

Price

The indicative factory price starts at US$50,850, shipping in 3 x 40HQ containers. Track, foundation and installation labour are quoted for your site.

If you are still deciding between a coaster and a flat ride, the family roller coaster runs a longer circuit for a different audience, and the giant pendulum delivers thrill without a track at all.
