Reverchon swinging / drifting coasters

[Jake]

Sorry if this has already been posted, done a search and couldn't find anything. The search on here can be quite poo though.

Has anyone done one of these? Looks like there are two, one with orange track and one with blue.

Also since when was Reverchon a thing again?

Looks gross but I'd love to try one.

I think the orange track was just Reverchon testing the trains on the mouse in Bagatelle.
As for the coaster, I've managed to ride it last Tuesday in Bonn and it's pretty gross... The Swinging part is a bit uncomfortable and going backwards, not seeing the track, resulted in some serious punches to my neck. The first drop was unexpectedly fab and even had some airtime, but after that, it quickly went downhill...

Now you've said that I remember it! The photos were posted, then I didn't see anything about it for ages and forgot.

Is the blue one travelling then, that makes sense.

I really want it ugh.

Although there's not much to it, I definitely would like to give it a try.

Really? They've ran one in public use and apparently it was excruciatingly painful.

Looks interesting. If they can work out some of the kinks, it can a really neat experience. But yeah, since when was Reverchon a thing again?

It's probably pretty bad, but looks like stupid fun.

It's currently travelling in Germany as far as I am aware.

I truly can see one of these spiting one day, the amount of stress put up on the central column must be unreal!

Thorpe are still more likely to get one of these than a Flyer.

So it's basically an arrow suspended but in not suspended and in wild mouse form? Seems interesting.

Well thats kinda wah-waaah. I thought the rwo sides would swing independent of one another (as shown from the orange tracked one in a previous video it looked at least). Id give it a go, but if you watch that offride it looks like the one kid gets punched in the face with the restraint at the one turn, so it may end up being a pass if one gets built elsewhere or if I make it back to Europe while this is still a thing.

Strange decision to have two riders facing backwards the whole way through the ride - I think there are going to be plenty of people that don't want to sit in those seats!

Looks like it would be an uncomfortable ride too, but if the track had longer, sweeping turns instead of Wild Mouse style ones the cars could make it quite fun.

That's just salt in the wound.

Yeah, pretty much. The swinging is way too abrupt and is about as painful as a Suspended.

Reverchon never really went out of business, just stopped operating for a long time.
