Golden Loop

Gold Reef City, Johannesburg, South Africa

Golden Loop is a typical Schwarzkopf Type I shuttle loop coaster.

You begin with a nice launch out of the station down a long runway, then a big vertical loop, ending in a high ramp track. The train loses momentum, stops, and falls backward back down the track, through the loop, back down the runway, backward through the station, and up the spike track on the other end of the layout. Once again, the train slows, stops, then falls back down the track forward into the station.
