Inverted Powered Coaster
The Inverted Powered Coaster is a roller coaster type made by Mack Rides from Waldkirch . As the first facility of this type, Arthur - The Ride was opened in Europa-Park in July 2014 .
Driving system
As is usual with an inverted coaster , the trains hang under the rails. With this type, however, the trains are not accelerated by gravity , but driven by electric motors (see also Powered Coaster ). These enable accelerations and stops at any point along the route. The gondolas are equipped with their own rotating profile, which enables the passengers to look into the respective scenes using electric motors. This enables highly complex thematic systems to be implemented. Thanks to the continuous drive, all sequences from leisurely themed rides to fast-paced roller coaster parts can be made possible.
Trains
The trains hang under the rails and are equipped with electric motors and sophisticated circuit technology. In order to accommodate these, separate cars for the engines and technology are built into the trains. The trains have three rows with 4 seats each, which allows 12 seats per train.
There is also the option of equipping the trains with onboard sound and interactive options.
