Vekoma recently announced that their very first Tilt Coaster 2.0 will be coming to the U.S. “Circuit Breaker” will debut at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas and it will be the first Tilt Coaster in the States.
As the riders slowly climb, a massive seesaw looms in the distance. They stop at a dead-end track, floating in mid-air. The huge track tilts. Riders in the front tip down. Riders in the back lift to 40 meters (131ft) high. They fall into a sensational pit of camelbacks, full-speed Zero-G roll airtime, inversions, and bunny hops. It’s a unique, high-visual-impact ride with thrills, unlike any other coaster.
CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS is the premier destination for world-class motorsports and entertainment in the United States. Set on 1,200 acres in the rolling hills just outside downtown Austin, Circuit of The Americas has hosted the biggest names in racing, action sports, and music since 2012. At its heart is a 3.41-mile racetrack that was designed to challenge the world’s most exacting competitors while providing a thrilling spectacle for audiences.
