Figure 8 roller coaster
An early and famous example of a Figure 8 is the Leap the Dips at Lakemont Park, in Altoona, Pennsylvania.[2] Modern coasters can be made out of wood or steel, and may incorporate different launch mechanisms or train configurations to enhance the ride experience.Many roller coasters of the time used out-and-back tracks, and the figure 8 layout became a standard design that provided the rider with more turns during the descent.They were often dismantled in favor of faster coasters, being viewed as less exciting than the new designs of the time.An Incomplete List of Figure 8 roller coasters Fort Mill, South Carolina
