Nurburgring - Ring Racer

Hmm..Is this thing not going to take the record now?  120MPH in about 2.5 Seconds?

Nurburgring gets world?s fastest rollercoaster


--- Quote ---We?ve already reported on this of course but earlier this week we met up with a couple of chaps from the Nurburgring to catch up on the latest developments. And with the existing grandstands now demolished the path for the rollercoaster has now been cleared alongside the start/finish straight. The idea is to give visitors a sense of what it?s like to drive round the track in a F1 car and part of this will include accelerating from 0-120mph or so in about 2.5 seconds. And the Ring Racer will pull 3.4g too, the maximum permitted by German law. Cool?

I suppose the record could just fall under the "or so".

Chuck seems to have picked the perfect time to be over in Germany!

WadeJ:
I just read another article that officially pegged it at 135mph so who know.  I have a feeling Ka will no longer be the worlds fastest next season though.

ChuckR:
Whenever it opens, I'll be there!

AV Matt:
Unless it actually comes with a layout, who cares about how fast it is. ::)

Ogolo:
Looks like wit a little more research it did have an incident:
