Tall, terrifying and spectacular

 

People have been flocking in their thousands to famous Coney Island in Brooklyn to scare themselves silly on the tallest rollercoaster in New York City.

With more than 2,000 feet of track including a terrifying 90 degree drop, the new Thunderbolt ride is a guaranteed adrenaline rush. For the ride’s manufacturers, the brief was to offer the most spectacular attraction possible with first-class product quality to ensure the safety of thrill seekers.

Texane’s super tough polyurethane wheels give customers a smooth ride as they wind up to the ride’s dizzying 115-foot-high peak and hurtle down at speeds of up to 55 mph.

We worked with KettenWulf Chains to create a high-strength, corrosion-resistant chain and wheel system that ensures the excitement rolls on and on.
