Frank' N Coaster is a steel roller coaster located at House of Frankenstein in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

History

The roller coaster opened as Thriller Coaster on 15 June 2004 at Sports Plus Entertainment Center in Lake Grove, New York, USA. It was an enclosed roller coaster built at a cost of $600,000. The theme was created by Richard Hanf Productions in Hamburg, New Jersey and was inspired by the 2004 movie Van Helsing.[1]

The roller coaster was purchased by House of Frankenstein, who assembled it on their rooftop in 2019.[2] It opened to the public on 13 July 2020.

Design

This roller coaster only makes left-hand turns. As a result, the couplings between the cars are located at the far-left side, rather than in the center.

Trains

Single train with 4 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 16 riders per train.
