Corkscrew with Bayerncurve is a type of roller coaster that was manufactured by Vekoma and designed by Arrow Dynamics and was debuted in 1979 with Super Wirbel in Germany.

Ride Experience

The ride started by a slow accent of 75 ft (22m). Once it had reached the top the car went round a turn and down the 68 ft drop reaching 44 m.p.h. The train then pulled through a camel hump and a 180 degree turn before entering the two Corkscrew inversions. Once the train exited the two inversions it then went around a 180 degree turn and into some trim brakes (In the latter years the brakes wasn't need as much). After that the train went across another camel hump and in to the bayerncurve (a helix type manoeuvre) and around the perimeter of the coaster again before going into the brakes and station.
