Guests of all ages were lined up to ride Gerstlauer’s newest attraction- Rewind Racers at Adventure City in Anaheim, California for their grand opening. The coaster, Gerstlauer’s first Family Shuttle Coaster in the Western Hemisphere, was a hit with riders of all ages.
“We wanted something that was unique that would be exciting but smooth for the kids,” said Allan Ansdell Jr., president of Adventure City (http://www.adventurecity.com). “It provides just the right amount of excitement. And, obviously, going backward on a ride is a lot of fun,” he told the Orange County Register.
“Adventure City has been great to partner with,” said Siegfried Gerstlauer, Managing Director of Gerstlauer Amusement Rides. “We worked hand-in-hand with them to design a custom layout for a very tight site. The ride compliments all of the family attractions at the park and we are very pleased with the finished product,” he noted.
The park themed Rewind Racers to a racing experience. For now, sound and video effects augment the ride and in the future additional themed elements will be placed atop the lifts.
