Lightning Racers is a GCI wooden dueling roller coaster. Its twin like track maybe look cute, but it is all worth the hype. You start of going up a pretty normal lift, parallel to the other side’s lift. The Millennium Flyer trains really give you comfortable seating and a lot of open leg room, and when you climb up the...

Silver Star Now Silver Star is not Europe’s fastest coaster, it is their 4th fastest. But you can say that it is the fastest in Europe that has a lift hill before it’s main course ride. You just nearly make a 79 mph drop into airtime hills and make your way through over one mile of track.
