280m Crazy Mouse Roller Coaster

The 280m crazy mouse roller coaster is the upgrade you make when your mouse coaster is already one of the busiest rides in the park. It runs 283 m of track, five spinning cars and a top speed of 38 km/h on 15 kW of total power.

Because the whole layout sits inside 36 x 28 m, most operating parks can place it without moving anything else.

What changes when you move up from 180 m to 280 m

The two models share a family and a footprint philosophy, and the difference shows up in how long the ride feels.

On the shorter track the ride is over almost as soon as the car has built speed. The 283 m layout gives each car a longer run, more of the spinning sections and a lift hill that puts the whole park in view before the drop.

Fifteen kilowatts: why the running cost is not the issue

Total power is 15 kW with a 7.5 kW drive. The lift hill does most of the work and gravity does the rest, so the coaster’s energy bill is one of the lowest in the park for the number of riders it moves.

Rail height is 8 m, which keeps the visual impact moderate while still giving the cars enough speed at the bottom of the first drop.

Laying out a 283 m track on a 36 x 28 m plot

The plot is generous for a coaster of this length because the track folds over itself. That means the layout drawing matters more than the raw area: walkways, the queue and the service access all have to thread through the same rectangle.

Send us your plot plan and we will position the station, the queue and the exit against the walkways you already have. It is a drawing conversation, not a guess.

Five cars, 38 km/h and the queue on a peak day

Five cars on a 283 m circuit keep a steady flow of departures. On a peak afternoon that is what decides whether the queue reaches the walkway or stays inside the ride area.

Adding a 280m coaster to a park that is already open

An established park can usually install this coaster without closing anything around it. Work through these five items before you order.

• The plot and the access route for the track sections
• The power supply and the position of the control cabinet
• The queue and exit line against your existing walkways
• The documentation set for your local authority
• The service plan for the cars, the wheels and the track

If you are still choosing the coaster for your park, compare this model with the 180m crazy mouse and the family roller coaster before you commit to a plot.
