A novel fusion between roller coasters and beer gardens has become a reality thanks to the creativity of Maurer Rides.

A thematically appropriate beer garden coaster has been developed with the focus on younger and sportier target groups such as bachelor parties and birthdays.

According to Maurer Rides, the team “developed an interactive drive with ‘bike chain’ and passengers sit as if on a bicycle, pedal and thus generate the energy for the drive and thus for the ride themselves.”

The coaster has up to 10 seats or bikes so that passengers can ‘comfortably zip up and down in jovial company at full capacity.’ Its track length will be 125m, peak at 6m in height and gently take rides along at a pleasant 5km/h.

Maurer Rides are targeting an opening of 1 June for the beer garden-style coaster with plans to create an Oktoberfest beer coaster experience for the celebrated German event.
