Ligtnin' Loops

This installation consisted of two separate interlocking steel shuttle coasters that utilized a flywheel launch system to propel trains from elevated stations. Riders are accelerated forward through a vertical loop before ascending a steep incline that slows the train to a halt. The train then reverses direction, traversing the vertical loop backward and returning to the loading platform. The mechanical layout relies on gravity and kinetic energy to complete the circuit in both directions.
