Safety

• At K.A.D.C. we design our coasters above and beyond the the expectations of the rider.

• We use state of the art technology in order to ensure that every rider has a safe and enjoyable experience

• All of our coasters are up to date with all technological advancements and are checked daily for any signs of danger.

The Ride

• Challenger is a high speed roller coaster that is designed to simulate the experience of driving a fast and powerful muscle car.

• Why Challenger out performs the rest?– This state of the art roller coaster is designed to

provide the smoothest and fastest ride of your life!

– Challenger uses as many recycled materials as possible in the areas of train design, station design and special effects.

The Ride Continued

• Challenger uses tubular stainless steel for all supports, train frame-work and the track.

• Challenger uses state of the art technologies to create a sturdy yet conservative track design. – At Keystone Amusement Design Consultants we strive to

use all of our resources efficiently so that nothing goes to waste.

– That is why we are the best, every dollar you spend is used to its maximum potential without any waste.

Challenger “Feel the Horse power”

• Challenger starts out with a straight down drop with a photo booth to take your picture.– This part of the ride simulates the rider sitting in a

powerful muscle car at an empty intersection.– Since no cars are around you put the pedal to the

floor and accelerate at 8.56 m/s^2 for 50 meters. At the end of the drop the rider is caught by a speed trap (the photo booth) getting your picture taken.

Challenger “Feel The Horse Power”

• The second part of this ride consists of a long slightly rising slope that lets you hear your engine roar!

• The third part of this ride is a 40 meter tall loop.

• Coming out of the loop you will be launched by magnets into a time trial drag race where you and the other riders will try to beat the time of the train before you.

Challenger “Feel The Horse Power”

• Out of the drag race the rider will speed through a large raised banked turn that simulates a Daytona 500 turn.

• Out of the Daytona turn the rider will enter four banked helix turns experiencing a significant amount of g’s.

Challenger “Feel The Horse Power”

• Out of the Helix Turns the rider will enter a barrel roll which will simulate the car doing a barrel roll due to an unexpected speed-bump in the road.

• Out of the barrel roll the rider goes off-road into a set of camel backs experiencing the effect of a shortcut through some woods..

• Out of the off-road onto the race track the rider will experience another banked Daytona 500 turn which leads the train back to the station.
