Lost Gravity is a steel roller coaster located at Walibi Holland in Biddinghuizen, Flevoland, Netherlands. The ride was manufactured by Mack Rides and constructed by RCS GmbH. It opened to the public on 24 March 2016.

History

Construction began in late 2015 and was completed by the end of January 2016. The design of the trains was revealed on 19 February 2016. A week later, testing of the ride began.

The official soundtrack of Lost Gravity, Move Up (Lost Gravity) by Mr. Polska, was released on 11 March 2016. Lost Gravity opened on 24 March.[1]

Lost Gravity ran tests for backwards during the 2019 season, these where eventually never inplemented due to negotiations with Mack Rides coming to an halt.[2]

Design

Elements

Lost Gravity is painted black, with some track sections painted yellow. The ride is the first model of a Mack product named BigDipper. It is unusual in that, as well as having two seats above the track, each row also has two outer seats suspended on the sides of the track; one on the left and one on the right. Despite being the first coaster from Mack to utilize this seating arrangement, some Intamin coasters also use it.

Trains

4 cars. Riders are arranged 4 across in 2 rows, for a total of 8 riders per car. The outer seats are positioned such that nothing is above or below, much like a winged roller coaster.
