How DONKEY KONG at Universal Studios’ Epic Universe will appear to jump the rails!

FULL VID ON YouTube, link in Profile. With the weight of the vehicle offsetting the odd sideways track below, the hook shape is balanced vertically to reduce stress horizontally in the track. During some turns the vertical two-pipe track changes to triangle track to help with forces. This can be seen in the simulation. The ride will also open in Universal Studios Japan. & how satisfying is that huge heartline 🤤 likely the largest heartline weve seen on a coaster.
