World's First Motion Base Coaster Revealed

Dynamic Attractions Duel Power Coaster is the world’s most advanced roller coaster vehicle:

If you had a Hot Wheels racing set as a kid, you’ve no doubt let your imagination run with some of the death-defying moves your car can make. But what if you could do all those same moves in a theme park ride? Imagine a roller coaster that can do spin outs, drifts, and jumps.

Innovative ride developer Dynamic Attractions announced an incredible new coaster technology at IAAPA 2018 that combines the speed and thrill of a roller coaster with a ride vehicle that can do so much more than drop, loop and roll. They call it a “Duel Power Coaster,” and they believe it’s the most advanced roller coaster vehicle ever.

“The Duel Power Coaster is the world’s most advanced roller coaster vehicle,” states Hao Wang, President, Dynamic Attractions. “Most coasters are all about the track. That is only half of the excitement in this ride, where the cart itself is powered and moves, creating racing sensations never possible before on a roller coaster.”

The vehicles boast a technology dubbed 4-DOF (four degrees of freedom). 4-DOF vehicles are motion platforms that are able to roll side-to-side, tilt forward, and “launch” up and down to simulate realistic air time that makes it feel like your vehicle left the track. The vehicles also have dual propulsion which allows a gravity fall to power boost into even faster speeds. The first Duel Power Coaster will open in Malaysia in Spring 2019.
