''Expedition GeForce'' is a steel roller coaster located at Holiday Park in Haßloch, Germany. It is one of the largest roller coasters in Europe and has an 82 degree first drop. The trains travel up to through a course long with seven periods of weightlessness. At its highest, the ride reaches above ground. Until the opening of Silver Star at Europa Park, it was the tallest roller coaster operating on the European mainland. ==Ride information== The ride opened on June 18, 2001 to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Holiday Park's operation, costing approximately €10 million. It has a maximum throughput of 1,300 riders per hour, with two 28-seater trains in operation. The track rests on 209 foundations, which are up to 20 metres deep. It was constructed by Swiss manufacturers Intamin, which markets this type of coaster as ''Mega Coaster'', in collaboration with German engineer Werner Stengel. Unlike many other coasters, the ride does not employ a conventional chain lift but a faster cable lift with a catch car, very similar to the system used for Millennium Force. It is one of the prebuilt rides in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and NoLimits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expedition GeForce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
