Specific Type: Disk'o Coaster
|
In 2014 Cedar Point, the self described coaster capital of the world, added a new ride called Pipe Scream. This ride is a Zamperla Disk’o Coaster a ride that combines the thrill of a roller coaster and a spin and barf ride. Cedar Point has a separate page for roller coasters and thrill rides on their website, while other parks in the chain don’t have a page specific for roller coasters. Other park’s websites lists roller coasters based on who might be interested; kids, families, and thrill seekers. This made Cedar Point the lone park listing this ride type specifically as a roller coaster. This did ruffle many coaster enthusiasts feathers about how to consider what is and is not a roller coaster. The ride does have an unusual ride vehicle for a coaster, but the track looks like a coaster track and it features similar movement to an impulse coaster, and has a small airtime hill as an element in the center of the U shaped track. So is it a coaster? You will have to step onto this spinning vehicle that traverses its 302 foot long track at 43 MPH, and find out for yourself.
