Typhoon due to hit Belgium

Belgian amusement park Bobbejaanland, near Antwerp, is introducing one of Gerstlauer’s new Eurofighter roller coasters for its 2004 season.

To be named Typhoon by its new owners, the 670m, 80km/h ride will feature eight eight-seat vehicles in which passengers face straight skywards as they are lifted to the summit.

Cars then descend a 97 degree vertical drop into a 19m diameter loop, before heading into a slow speed double corkscrew, a 15m drop, an upward double spiral and a second slow speed corkscrew, ahead of speeding through a spiral and two left curves into the station.

Construction of the new ride will be completed in time for the opening of the park’s new season in April.
