Description

Shuttle coasters are a bit like the well-known Boomerangs but completely different: You are shot out of the station towards a loop, ride through it and come to a stop on another climb. From there it's backwards back down the track, once through the station, again taking a climb, then coming back into the station.

Hints:
Size restriction: from 1.40m
