Shock Wave Super Looper roller coaster is a compact roller coaster at Brean Leisure Park in Brean, Somerset, England. The ride, which was manufactured by Italian company Pinfari, features sharp turns and near support misses.
[edit] Ride description
After exiting the station, the train travels up a chain lift hill. It then gently trundles around a curve at the top of the hill. The train then violently dips downwards. A ratchet that is in place to prevent roll backs precedes a short straight section. After this straight section, there is another smaller dip. The train takes another trundle round a corner, then travels gently downwards, the train picks up speed before hitting a banked corner. The train then travels through a loop, this is followed by a sharp corner. The train then rolls up and the brakes are only slightly applied. The train travels around more corners, followed by a small bump, then up and into the brake run at the end of the ride.
There is also a near exact copy of this coaster with only very minor differences, made by Pinfari as well in Portland Oregon at Oaks Park, but it is called the "Looping Thunder" and has purple track with white supports. Cars are blue on top and pink on the bottom. Aside from this, there is virtually no difference, just slight variation in positioning but the description of the ride in motion is the same. Also same company.
