New launch coaster for Nurburging - the worlds fastest?

frosty · New launch coaster for Nurburging - the worlds fastest?

Nurburging race course is apparently investing in a new S&S built pneumatic launch coaster with a formula 1 theme.

Ring Racer is set to be the world's fastest coaster with a top speed close to 135mph in less than 3 seconds!

I could find no mention of this searching the forum, and it is still more than a year off, but it seems Six Flags crown for top speed coaster may soon be lost - albeit Nov 2009.

A quick search found this.. There's plenty on it, even Wiki mentions it. It's been planned since Feb this year but it's the first I've heard of it.
I really hope it is smoother than Hypersonic! Looks like normal wheels rather than Pneumatic.

Looks like their record could be shortlived if Weston Super Mare get approval for their 200mph dragster ride. Check out the UK park news section
