The Speed Chaser has been designed for a small footprint

Rollercoaster designer and manufacturer Maurer Rides presented its new Speed Chaser coaster concept at IAAPA Expo Europe.
The Speed Chaser is an adaptable ride designed for a small footprint that allows passengers to determine their own speed. One of its key features is the ability to accommodate two different vehicle types: Racer as a two-seater or Train for up to eight passengers. This means operators can use different vehicles depending on visitor frequency or give passengers the choice.
Riders can control the speed of their vehicle, with the option of stepping on the gas or taking it slow. The seats also have a 45-degree tilt function, which can be triggered anywhere on the track, either by the riders or programmed controlled. A throttle and boost button provides additional thrust, bright brake lights alert, and the engine sound is speed-dependent and freely configurable.
Other features include tilting seats, boosters, gaming, shooting and light gates.
The ride is designed with Mature Spike® technology, and requires a space of just 60m x 50m.
A spokesperson for Maurer Rides said: “Gone are the days of the passive co-pilot. The co-pilot activates the track light gates, with the integrated targets on top, and with the shoot button it’s time to collect points. The onboard video system (with touchscreen display, of course) can generate additional income for the park.
“The Speed Chaser has so many possibilities.”
