journey
After you have reached the maximum height of 45 meters with the "overhead train", the train descends in a slight right-hand curve. The descent ends in a loop . The train then makes an over-sloping left-hand bend, which releases the car group into a so-called Cobra-Roll . This is followed by a Zero-G-Roll and two corkscrews before the final upward helix leads the train into the final brake.
Trains
Silver Bullet has two trains with eight cars each. Each car has space for four people (two rows of two people). This enables a capacity of 1300 people per hour. Shoulder straps are used as a restraint system. The passengers must be at least 1.37 m tall to be allowed to ride. All cars are partially green, five of them with red seats and three with yellow ones.
reception
The future of construction and its eventual failure after a fictional disappearance of mankind is shown in episode 6 of the 2nd season of the documentary fiction series Future Without People (“Horror Trip”, USA 2010).
