Fly like Maverick on Fanta Park’s new ‘Top Gun’ coaster
Located in Ganzhou, China, Fanta Park Glorious Orient has opened its newest roller coaster, ‘Top Gun,’ designed by Vekoma Rides.
As reported by Blooloop, The Fantawild group — which opened the park — collaborated with Vekoma Rides to recreate a fighter jet experience. Not only does the ride simulate what it’ll feel like to take off in a fighter jet, but it also simulates a “dogfight” where two jets battle in the sky.
Launching eight guests at just a little over 60 miles per hour in three seconds, these new ‘pilots’ experience five weightless moments, four inversions and the world’s first-ever rollover camelback. Another jet races alongside them, with several near-miss maneuvers.
