Loco Loco
Specific Type: Family Coaster
|
Loco Loco, which in Spanish means crazy crazy, is a family coaster by E&F Miler Industries currently installed at Blue Bayou Dixie Landing. The ride was actually a custom build for Nut Tree Park in California and was themed to harvesting crops. The train has a lead car that looks like a ride on tractor, and then nine additional cars that look like cargo trailers, very similar look to some arrow mine train cars. The ride was relocated and installed at blue Bayou Dixie Landing in 2010 and renamed and repainted. It still retains the same look for the trains but they did change the colors. As of this writing it is the newest coaster at the park (2017), however it still does not appear listed on the website as an attraction. It is on the park map, however it is labeled Cane Harvest Express. When it was first built in California it was called Harvest Express, so perhaps the name was changed previous to the installation.
The ride experience starts when the train is dispatched from the station and immediately climbs the 24 foot tall lift hill. At the top the track makes a pre drop turn around to the left, and then dive under a head chopper down to the ground. The track ascends and goes over the station and banks to the right to turn around. The train traverses an airtime hill and then banks around to the left skimming the ground and then ascending before the track straightens out. The train jumps over another airtime hill and then banks to the left and enters the station and brake run. |
