Vertical Coaster is a Floorless Diving Machine roller coaster [1] operating at Chimelong Paradise in China. It is built by Swiss coaster manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard. A photo update on the parks website shows the coasters first and second drop along with the water splash, the coasters final brake run and a row of a train in the station with 10 seats in the row, as well as two pictures of SheiKra.[2]
[edit] Ride Elements
Vertical Coaster features a 90°, 196.83 foot vertical drop that exits into an Immelmann loop. After the Immelmann, riders will swoop down to the ground then climb a curve up to the block brake, then go over a second near vertical dive dropping into an underground tunnel. Upon exiting the tunnel, riders make an overbanked turn into a water splash feature which exits into a bunny hill then into a helix before entering the final brake run.
