Description
The only looping rollercoaster in Germany with forwards and backwards travel. The hydro drive pulls the signal red train with 28 daredevils backwards to the end of the 38 metre high launch ramp. The train disengages, gives all passengers an unexpected adrenalin rush and shoots through a fast straight into the Boomerang at 75 km/h.
After going upside down twice in this corkscrew element, the intrepid passengers race unstoppably through the 18 metre high loop and climb the second lift tower before returning backwards along the same route.
