Turbo-Drachen's Car:Turbo-Drachen will use a new type of car design to give you that perfect flying feeling!
A German park known as Potts Park is soaring in this summer with more than just another summer with its the same old rides. ABC Rides started back in 2005 with an idea of making a coaster to give riders a flying sensation. This is no Bolliger & Mobillard flyer. Rather, something more to give the riders the last touch of flying.

Currently, the only everyday thing to fly in is an airplane. So, ABC Rides started to get motivated on how they could make that into a thrill ride. The model is known as a Dynamic Swing Glider. This will be ABC Ride's 3rd coaster and the park's 2nd current coaster.

This suspended roller coaster known as Turbo-Drachen, will take you on a 1,542' journey over the park. It features several heart-pumping turns. It reaches the speeds of over 20 m.p.h. It's located directly on your left when you enter the park.

With its already airplane themed cars, it will take you more on a "turbo" filled ride. Near the middle of the ride will feature a life-sized airplane that you will "fly" past on your journey. Put on your helmets, goggles, and buckle up! It will take you on the wild side!
