Roller Ball is the name of a steel roller coaster model from the manufacturer Ride Engineers Switzerland . She celebrated her premiere as Wilde Hilde in Schwaben Park . Since then, another plant has been built and two more are currently under construction (see locations ).
There are two versions of Roller Ball : a 19 m version (which also corresponds to the first delivery) and a 28.5 m version. Both variants have in common that they do not have any horizontal curves and the route thus extends over the vertical.
Trains
The Roller-Balls have individual carriages with space for four people (two rows of two people), with the passengers in the two rows sitting with their backs to each other. The special thing about the car is that the entire drive technology for the lift is in the car. The wagons climb the lift using gear technology. The carriages are also suspended rotating around the horizontal axis so that the carriages rock when driving over the route.
