The ‘Legendary Twin Dragon’, dubbed as the “world’s highest and fastest double twisted impulse coaster,” has opened at Sunac Land in Chongqing, China.
The ride boasts a physical track length of 251 metres, resulting in an experienced track length of 1400 metres and a height of 70 metres, meaning the coaster is extremely space efficient. A 360 twisted track spikes, reaching high into the sky.
The impulse coaster uses Intamin’s powerful LSM drive system to enable the suspended-seating train to launch forward and reach a height of 40 metres on the first swing. When riders have experienced weightless airtime, the train then rolls backwards to reach a heady height of 52 metres on the opposite twisting spike element. During the fourth swing, riders are taken to a height of around 65 metres.
In total, the dragon-themed ‘Legendary Twin Dragon’ train takes riders on four forward and backward swings, six weightlessness airtime experiences and propels them to a top speed of almost 120 km/h.
Intamin, specialists in the design and manufacture of amusement rides, says it is proud to have contributed to the success of Sunac Land in Chongqing.
