Buying notes for the Family Roller Coaster
The HXC266 is a family roller coaster built for the group that decides whether a park has a good day: children tall enough to ride with a parent, and the parents riding with them.
Sixteen passengers in four rows of four, a 266 m track and a 120 second cycle. It is a Class A ride, which is the part that matters when you apply for the licence.
Who can ride the HXC266
Passengers from 0.9 m to 1.9 m in height, up to 90 kg each. That range covers young children riding with an adult and most teenagers riding alone.
Four rows of four means a family of four rides in one row, which is the detail that decides whether the coaster works for your audience. It is also why the ride queues well: groups board together instead of splitting.
192 riders an hour: the cycle arithmetic
The ride cycle is 120 seconds and the lift runs at 1 m/s, so the experience lasts long enough to feel like a coaster without a long wait between trains.
The theoretical capacity is 192 riders an hour. In practice the station crew decides the real figure: a clear exit and a marked boarding gate keep the cycle at two minutes.
90 x 40 m: planning the plot
The footprint is 90 x 40 m and the operating height is 10.1 m on a track that peaks at 9.3 m. That makes it a ride you can position inside a park without it dominating the skyline, and it opens the option of an indoor hall with the right clear height. Before you commit the plot, roller coaster footprint and site planning works through the space a coaster actually needs.
Speed reaches 35.9 km/h at the fastest point. The layout drawing shows where that happens, which is where you put the camera angle and the queue view.
If your plot is tighter than 90 x 40 m, the 180m crazy mouse coaster fits a 17 x 28 m site and carries four spinning cars instead of a train.
What Class A means when you buy
- A full technical file with the ride, for the licence application
- A design service life of 15 years
- Operating conditions stated up front: 5-38 C, humidity up to 85%, altitude up to 2,500 m
- A documented test run before handover
- A maintenance schedule your own team can follow
Class A is the classification your local authority will look for first. Ask any supplier for the classification before you compare prices, because it changes what the quotation has to include. For the wider picture, how much a roller coaster costs works through three real project sizes.
A coaster as the park centrepiece
90 x 40 m outdoors, with the lift hill visible from the gate. Position the station near the walkway so the queue becomes part of the atmosphere.
A coaster inside a hall
The ride can sit indoors where the clear height allows it. Check the ceiling above the 10.1 m operating height and the ventilation of the station.
Power and conditions
Total power is 50 kW on 3N AC 380 V 50 Hz. That is a standard industrial supply, and it keeps the electrical work inside a normal budget.
The stated operating window is 5 to 38 C with humidity up to 85% and altitude up to 2,500 m. If your site sits outside any of those, tell us at the quotation stage rather than after the order.

192 theoretical, based on a 120 second cycle and 16 seats. The station crew decides the real figure.
Can it run indoors?
Yes, where the clear height allows the 10.1 m operating height. Send the hall drawing and we will check it.
What is the footprint?
90 x 40 m for the full layout. The station, queue and exit sit inside that area.
How long is the build?
About 35 days in production, then shipping and site assembly. The foundation and the station are local works that run in parallel.
What does the Class A file include?
The technical documentation your authority asks for, plus the test run record and the maintenance schedule. Ask for the full list with the quotation.
