Formula One was a launched roller coaster previously located at Pattaya Park. The manufacturer of the ride is currently unknown. It was constructed in 1999, but has never opened to the public. The ride's track has since been removed, although the launch tower remains standing.
Had Formula One opened when it was constructed in 1999, it would have been the first launched roller coaster in the world to utilise a compressed air launch, theoretically beating HyperSonic XLC by three years.
Design
Formula One features a design similar to the two Intamin Reverse Freefall roller coasters, Superman: Escape From Krypton, and Tower of Terror II.
