WIEGAND COASTERKART

jan23 np wiegandWiegand’s latest development in interactive coaster rides brings the four-season Alpine Coaster experience onto any terrain. The CoasterKart is a four-wheeled, two-seat cart that rides along a set track. The track can be designed to flat or hilly terrain, indoors or outdoors, with overpasses and tunnels. Powered by a frictionless linear induction motor (LIM) for smooth acceleration and braking, the rider controls the speed up to 25 mph by using a foot pedal or throttle lever. The carts can be custom themed. The company says CoasterKart has an environmentally friendly footprint that does not require foundations to support the track. wiegandsportsusa.com
