The Roller Skater, or Vekoma Junior Coaster is a model of roller coaster built by Vekoma, and is named for the roller skate shaped cars found on some of the installations.
[edit] Design and operation
Most Roller Skaters consist of a single train made up of several cars, each with a single row of riders. Some, such as Flying Unicorn at Islands of Adventure in Orlando, operate with two trains. There are three basic models (85 meters, 207 meters, and 335 meters), although Vekoma also provides custom models. Instead of the chain lift found on most roller coasters, Roller Skaters usually use friction wheels to carry the train up the lift hill.
