More Information

Vehicles

The compact vehicles offer space for four people and are equipped with padded seat shells including horn. All passengers are held safely thanks to the individual and adjustable lap bars. Optionally, these can also be supplied with an electronic restraint monitoring system.

The open vehicle design not only ensures the classic wild mouse feeling in the tight hairpin turns, it also offers optimal view for all passengers of the track ahead. In contrast to the classic mouse, the track can be banked, which allows for the most diverse ride elements and guarantees varied fun through the entire layout.

In addition, a special reverse vehicle offers the extra fun of experiencing the ride from a backwards perspective.

Acceleration

The Bobsled Coaster is available with inclined chain lifts and friction wheel lifts to create a classic roller coaster experience. Thanks to the compact vehicles, vertical elevators can also be easily integrated into the layout - saving valuable space.

To start the family paced ride without hesitation and even more dynamically, the vehicles can be brought up to speed with a forward or reverse launch. As a result, fun is guaranteed from second one.

Since all drive systems are compatible with each other, layouts can be created with maximum flexibility and individually adapted to the requirements and local conditions.
