This article is for the only roller coaster formerly located at Taman Festival Bali in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. It was a steel roller coaster built by USA manufacturer Inverted Technologies.[1]
History
The coaster was likely built with Taman Festival Bali, which opened in October 1997, with many financial issues.[2][3] These caused the park to close only 3 years later in 2000.[4]
When the park opened, it was said that some attractions had not finished construction.[4] This likely included the roller coaster, as a video from after the park closed shows the coaster's station with a sign that reads "Upcoming Attraction!" still on it.[5] Birket Engineering, the company that designed the coaster's control system, also stated that it had never been contacted to commission the ride.[6]
It was last captured on aerial images in 2003.[7]
