The 52 foot ascent to the top of Coast Rider will have everyone clinging to the handrails for the ultimate family coaster experience. The adventure aboard the ride gives guests the feeling of riding the California coast, but once they reach the crest, it is a harrowing journey down the 1,339 feet of track filled with hairpin turns, twists and spins.
The design is an exact replica of the Ricochet roller coaster at Kings Dominion. The ride the same ride experience and layout, except reversed, to Legoland's Technic Test Track roller coaster.
