Coaster · custom layout

A coaster is bought on three numbers — height, throughput and the size of the plot you can give it. Everything else, from inversions to train theming, is negotiated after those three are fixed.

Is this the right ride for your site?

  • You have a fixed plot and need the layout drawn to it
  • You are choosing between height and repeat ridership
  • Your operations team can staff a continuous loading station
  • You want the structure fabricated in one plant, not assembled from three suppliers

Engineering & Craftsmanship

Overview

The Suspended Roller Coaster is a high-capacity ride with a 780m track and a 32.83m high point. Trains carry 20 riders per cycle, with two seats per car across ten cars. The suspended design lets cars swing outward through turns, giving riders a free-hanging sensation. It suits park developers and investors looking for a medium-thrill coaster that handles steady visitor flow without a large footprint.

Design and build

The ride is engineered for a 16-year design life. The track layout, train configuration and structural design are developed for each project. We do not publish proprietary engineering details such as steel grades or foundation loads; these are shared with qualified buyers under agreement.

  • Track length: 780m, with a track height of 32.83m.
  • Maximum train speed: 22.33m/s (80.4km/h).
  • Lift speed: 2.0m/s for a controlled ascent.
  • Ten cars, each seating two riders, for 20 riders per cycle.
  • Ride duration: approximately 140 seconds.
  • Installed power: 210 kVA.
  • Design life: 16 years.

All designs are made to the standards required by your market, confirmed per project.

Site and installation

The ride requires a footprint of 152 x 73m. This includes the station, track envelope and clearances. Site preparation, foundation design and installation planning are handled per project, taking local soil and climate conditions into account. Our team provides layout drawings and technical documentation to support your planning and permitting process.

Installation is carried out by our technicians or by your local contractor under our supervision. We supply assembly instructions, commissioning checks and operator training. The 210 kVA power supply should be confirmed with your electrical engineer during site planning.

Operating notes

Riders must be adults or children at least 1.4m tall. Each car seats two riders. The ride cycle is approximately 140 seconds, including loading and unloading. Daily checks and periodic maintenance are required as set out in the maintenance manual.

Throughput depends on station staffing and dispatch procedures. The 16-year design life assumes the ride is operated and maintained within the specified parameters. Spare parts and technical support are available throughout the life of the ride.

For a layout proposal and technical discussion, contact our project team with your site details and visitor profile.

Frequently asked questions

The questions park developers ask most about this ride — answered without the sales language.

01What is the maximum rider height and age requirement?

Riders must be adults or children at least 1.4m tall. There is no upper age limit, but riders must be able to secure themselves in the seat. Each car seats two riders side by side. Our operating manual provides full rider restrictions for your park's safety policy.

02How many riders per hour can this coaster handle?

The ride carries 20 riders per cycle, with a cycle time of approximately 140 seconds. Actual hourly throughput depends on station staffing, loading efficiency and dispatch intervals. Under typical operating procedures, the ride can accommodate a steady flow of visitors. We can help you plan station layout to suit your expected attendance.

03What are the site requirements for installation?

The ride requires a footprint of 152 x 73m, including the station and track clearances. A power supply of 210 kVA is needed. Foundation design is project-specific and depends on local soil conditions. We provide layout drawings and technical documentation to assist with your site planning and permitting.
