Adventure City in Stanton, CA - Rewind Racers by Gerstlauer

A brand new shuttle coaster will open this season at Anaheim, California's Adventure City amusement park. To be called Rewind Racers, the attraction will be built at a cost of over $2 million - the largest addition to the park in its history.

Rewind Racers will be built by Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, and themed by R&R Creative Amusement Designs. The concept art above shows off the ride's design, which features both forward and backward sections. The trains will head up the lift hill backwards, level out, then race down the drop and through several curved track sections. After climbing up another hill the train drops and repeats the track length in reverse.

While it is hard to tell if it is an exact clone, Rewind Racers appears fairly similar to Gipfelsturmer, at Freizeitpark Ruhpolding in Germany. The family ride will be unique to the United States, and hopefully a huge success for Adventure City. It is wonderful to see more of these smaller, but unique, family rides being built in the U.S.

Looks like the junior Vekoma boomerang as well! http://rcdb.com/9607.htm

This is a simple shuttle coaster but is worth it! I personally like the part where you can say hi to "Drop Zone" before going backwards! The posted photo obviously had an exaggerated image of upward turns - - but the real track now looks pretty good!

Looks like a fun little ride to me.
