Teststrecke

Teststrecke, meaning Test Track in German, is a portable steel roller coaster owned by the German showman partnership Meyer & Rosenzweig. It was imported from Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in 2008 and mostly tours in Germany, with occasional visits to the Netherlands.

Designed by renowned ride engineer Anton Schwarzkopf, the ride was previously named Laser and Colossus.

Characteristics
The trains on Teststrecke are themed to resemble racing cars and were designed by SAT Consulting. Each train has a single lap bar to secure riders in their seats. It can operate three trains at peak times, but runs with one when there are short queues. The coaster is portable in that it is not attached to the ground.

Layout
The ride starts with a slow 93-foot chain lift hill, leading to a right hand near-vertical curved first drop, followed by two consecutive vertical loops. The ride then turns into a left-hand helix, up and through the center of the second loop. Another left turn helix leads down and straight upward diagonally between the vertical loops, followed by a 360-degree helix, starting from the right, leading into a brake run that leads into two right turns and back into the station.
