journey
On the approximately 1189 m long route, passengers drive through four inversions and reach a top speed of 97 km / h. After the 44 m high lift hill and the 42 m high descent of 52 °, a 36 m high loop follows . The second inversion, the 31 m high dive loop , is followed by a 360 ° helix whose exit leads into the 25 m high inclined loop . Before the last inversion - the corkscrew - the train is slowed down a bit on a block brake before it enters the final brake after a few turns.
Trains
Rougarou owns three trains with eight cars each. Four people (one row of four) can be seated in each carriage. This enables a maximum capacity of 1800 people per hour. The passengers must be at least 1.37 m tall to be allowed to ride. Shoulder straps are used as a restraint system.
