Lost Gravity is a steel roller coaster located at Walibi Holland in Biddinghuizen, Flevoland, the Netherlands. It was manufactured by Mack Rides and constructed by RCS GmbH. It opened to the public on 24 March 2016.

History

Construction on the ride was completed in January 2016. The design of the trains was revealed on 19 February 2016 and a week later, testing began.

The official soundtrack of Lost Gravity, Move Up (Lost Gravity) by Mr. Polska, was released on 11 March 2016. Lost Gravity opened on 24 March 2016.[1]

Design

The ride is painted black, with some track sections painted yellow. It is the first (and currently only) model of a new Mack product named the BigDipper. It is unique in that as well as having 2 seats above the track, each row also has two outer seats suspended on the sides of the track; one on the left and one on the right. Despite being the only coaster from Mack to utilise this seating arrangement, two Intamin coasters also use it; Skyrush at Hersheypark and Flying Aces at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
