Bullet in Selva Mágica ( Guadalajara , Jalisco , Mexico ) is a shuttle - steel roller coaster of the manufacturer Schwarzkopf GmbH , which opened on December 20, 2013.

history

Before it opened in Selva Mágica, it was in 1982 as Wiener Looping in the Vienna Prater , later under the same name in Boardwalk and Baseball . In 1988 the German showman Goetzke bought the boardwalk and baseball track. In 1991 it opened in Flamingo Land and continued there until it closed on September 25, 2005.

journey

A special feature of the train is that the station is in the middle of the looping . The train is pulled backwards out of the station onto a 40 m high tower. Once at the top, the train then drives forward down the tower, through the station, in a 270 ° right-hand bend, which ends in the looping. After a left turn, the train drives up a second, also 40 m high tower. The train then travels backwards the whole way. This fact is based on the first use of a flywheel, which brings about the launch and braking of the train.

Trains

Bullet owns a six-car train. Four people (two rows of two people) can be seated in each car.
