The Suspended Looping Coaster (or SLC) is a model of Roller Coaster built by Vekoma . The SLC is similar in design to other Inverted Roller Coasters , however unlike the four-across seating found on Bolliger And Mabillard (B&M) inverted roller coasters, Vekoma SLC's use two-across seating. The first SLC installation was El Condor at Walibi World in The Netherlands . Most other SLC rides are based on this design. The standard model includes a roll-over, a '''side-winder''', and a '''double-spin'''. The other major element on an SLC is a hill that banks at the top. Variations include changing the arrangement of the inversions, and some models include an extra helix. The standard model also has a relatively compact layout, providing for "foot choppers". Vekoma also provides "custom" SLC installations, such as Jubilee Odyssey at Fantasy Island in the United Kingdom Like other Vekoma designed rides, the SLC has earned a reputation among many coaster enthusiasts of providing a "rough" ride. Part of this is due to the fact that the ride wheels do not all necessarily touch the track at the same time, providing for a looser fit. Compared to other inverted roller coasters, however, the SLC provides a good opportunity for parks that are not able to afford a more expensive B&M or Intamin inverted ride. EXTERNAL LINKS |
