Compact Spinning Coaster at Tusenfryd

Tusenfryd wanted to add a roller coaster targeting children but needed something unique. We worked with them to create a longer, custom layout for our Compact Spinning Coaster. We grew the track length to 123 m (403.5 ft) and made a layout that focused on making the vehicles spin just the right amount.

One challenge with the project was the location. Tusenfryd wanted to utilize some empty space, so the coaster was built upon a hillside. Because of this, we custom-engineered our columns to match the undulating topography.

The resulting coaster was a huge success for the park and gave them a new anchor while they worked to target families with kids under ten.
