Rage is a steel roller coaster located at Adventure Island in Southend On Sea, Essex, England, UK. The ride was built where the Raging River log flume once stood. It is an Euro-Fighter installation manufactured by Gerstlauer.
Ride experience
The ride begins with a 90-degree turnaround into the 22 metre vertical lift hill. This is then followed by a 97 degree drop and then a vertical loop. The ride then goes in to a cutback followed by a 90 degree banked turn into a heartline roll. This is followed by two helices into the brakes and back into the station.
