Junior Coaster Roller Coaster
The Junior Coaster is a small roller coaster for parks that want a real coaster ride for families and young riders, without the size and investment of a full family coaster. It is a gravity-driven steel coaster with a maximum height of 13 m (43 ft): tall enough to offer proper drops and turns, compact enough to fit into a children's area or a mid-size park.
The train climbs the main hill with a traditional chain lift or a squeeze wheel system, depending on the configuration chosen, then gravity carries it through the whole layout back to the station. Each train is made up of up to six cars with four seats each. Riders are held by a restraint system that can be configured with shared lap bars or individual lap bars, according to the audience and the regulations of the destination country.
A Small Roller Coaster Between Kiddie Rides and Family Coasters
In our range, the Junior Coaster sits between two other models. The Mini Coaster is a 6 m kiddie coaster designed for indoor venues and plazas, while the Family Coaster reaches 25 m for larger parks. The Junior Coaster is the step in between: a small roller coaster that gives children their first real coaster experience and still keeps parents entertained when they ride along.
For operators, the Junior Coaster combines appeal and throughput. With up to 617 riders per hour, it handles the crowds of busy days in family areas, while the layout can be adapted to the space available. It can be supplied on trailer, as a self-standing structure or on foundation. Every unit is designed and built in compliance with local regulations and quality certifications, and it undergoes full testing before delivery.
