Roller Coaster (Vietnamese: Tàu Lượn Siêu Tốc) is a steel roller coaster located at Suoi Tien Amusement Park in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The coaster has a rectangular track layout, covering a pond known as Đại Cung Lạc Cảnh Hồ, and a length of 1,200 metres (3,900 ft).

Ride experience[edit]

Unlike the traditional chain lift, the Roller Coaster's lift hill uses drive tires. The ride starts in an uphill lift and moves into a banked curve which leads to a camel back hill. The ride then takes a highly banked curve to the right. After this, another hill followed by a long turn, leading riders to a cave in the air. Trains then bank for the last time and hit the brakes. A small curve leads riders to the station.[citation needed]

Speed[edit]

Although the park announced the Roller Coaster's speed can reach 200 kilometres per hour (120 mph), the ride only travels at speeds of about 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph).
