This Coaster is amazing and hold the world record for Steepest decent at 121°. This German built monster is tall, steep, quick and twisted ride, boasting a two separate lift hills with different lift systems. A launch lift and a slow chain lift. It’s very much so a modern thrill ride.
Read more below, but do check out the videos! The first video is a ride on the coaster, and the second video after the break is the construction video, I also included more details about the coaster at the bottom.
Enjoy
Takabisha is a custom Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter roller coaster. The 1,000-metre (3,300 ft) ride begins with a sudden drop into pitch black darkness before entering a slow heartline roll. In just two seconds, the car is launched by linear motors down a 63-metre (207 ft) long tunnel to a speed of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). It then exits out of the station building and directly into a large vertical loop. Immediately following the exit of this inversion the car goes into a cobra roll, corkscrew and then two airtime hills. The ride is slowed on a set of block brakes and returns into the station building. The track then turns a sharp 180° turn to the right before going back out of the building and onto the vertical chain lift hill. This hill takes riders up to a height of 43 metres (141 ft). Once at the top, the car slowly inches towards the record-breaking 121°, beyond-vertical drop. Once the car is released from the top of the hill, it hurtles back down towards the ground and enters a dive loop, a cutback-style turn and finally the seventh inversion, an immelmann loop.[6][9][11] The whole ride is over within 2 minutes.
