Gale Force debuts
Playland's Castaway Cove, New Jersey, has introduced Gale Force, an S&S LSM Triple Launch El Loco Coaster. It offers visitors to the Jersey Shore an exciting and unique high- powered ride experience. The ingenious design of the three launches, one forward, one backward, and a final forward launch at 64 mph (103 kph) provides an exciting ride experience on a coaster that has a very small footprint. S&S has packed the ride design with many elements, including a 125-foot (38 m) crest, the pure rush of a 100° down drop at 59 mph (95 kph), a 180° twisting climb, an off-camber dive drop, a corked roll, a top hat twist, and a raven dive. The 125-foot-tall Gale Force is the world’s first launched El Loco coaster by S&S Worldwide.
The relatively short ride time (1 minute) and single train (12 passengers) makes Gale Force a perfect fit for this waterfront park on the Jersey Shore. The new triple-launch version of El Loco is more vertical and compact than the original El Loco that debuted in 2008 at Indiana Beach with a traditional lift hill and a horizontal layout.
