BuzzSaw is a Maurer Rides sit-down roller coaster located at Dreamworld in Queensland, Australia. The ride is essentially shaped like a large square.
Design[edit | edit source]
The ride begins with a vertical lift hill leading out of the station. Upon reaching the top, rather than leveling off at 0° like most roller coasters, it levels off in the oppsite direction turning riders upside-down. The train then travels through a barrel roll which leads into the vertical drop back into the station. Continuing through the station, the ride travels back up the lift hill, before losing momentum and traveling backwards through the ride. It then loses momentum in the opposite direction and travels back into the station. This process is completed twice during the duration of the ride.
