Spinning Coaster

A spinning coaster gives a park a real coaster without the plot a full circuit needs. Five cars run a compact track, and each car turns as it goes, so the ride feels different from the front seat to the back.

It fits a 10 x 22 m area, stands 2.5 m and runs on 18 kW. For a family park or an entertainment centre, that is a coaster that can open in the same season as the decision.

A coaster that fits a 10 x 22 m plot

Most coasters are sold by height and speed. This one is sold by footprint: 10 m by 22 m is a strip beside a walkway, a corner of a car park or a hall that already has the clear height.

That is what makes it useful. A park that cannot justify a 90 x 40 m layout can still put a coaster on the map and in the advertising.

Five cars, twenty riders

Four riders per car and five cars in circulation. The cars return quickly on a short circuit, so departures are frequent and the queue does not build into the walkway.

Send us your peak-day attendance and we will check the station layout against it. On a compact coaster the station design decides the throughput more than the car count does.

Height and audience

The structure stands 2.5 m and the operating height is 1.98 m. This is a family coaster: children ride it, parents ride with them, and the height keeps it out of the thrill-ride licence bracket in most markets.

Passenger limits come from your local operating rules. We supply the figures for the application with the quotation.

Power and site

Installed power is 18 kW on 380 V, one of the lightest loads in the coaster range. The ride travels in two 40HQ containers.

Check the ground first. A coaster needs a level base and a foundation that carries the track supports, and the layout drawing states the loads.

Where it sits in the range

If you have more land and want a longer ride, the 180m crazy mouse coaster uses a 17 x 28 m plot with four cars, and the family roller coaster runs 266 m of track on a 90 x 40 m site.

The spinning coaster is the entry model: the one that proves a coaster works for your audience before you commit a larger plot.

Price and delivery

The indicative factory price starts at US$33,500, shipping in 2 x 40HQ containers. Freight, foundation and installation labour are quoted for your site.
