Olympia Looping is a portable steel roller coaster built by Anton Schwarzkopf. It is the largest portable roller coaster in the world, and the only one with 5 loops. It appears at many carnivals in Germany, most notably the Oktoberfest. Olympia Looping is named for its 5 vertical loops, which resemble the olympic rings. These loops are circular (as opposed to the clothoid-shaped loops on most roller coasters) so they exert unusually high g-forces on the passengers. The entire structure weighs 875 tons and requires a space 85 meters wide by 36 meters deep.
