One of EuroLoop's four inversions
EuroLoop is an old Vekoma looping coaster at Fabrikus World, on the South Coast of France.
It's the largest coaster at the fairground and can be found at the top end of the site - it's easily seen in its bright yellow and purple track.
Typically for an old Vekoma, the ride experience is not particularly refined and has become rough with age. Weirdly, the train navigates through the elements quite smoothly: it's the transitions and the bits between the inversions which are the really uncomfortable bits!
Aside from the roughness, EuroLoop is fun thanks to the airtime, with the corner following the two vertical loops creating more than enough negative Gs to have riders popping right out of their seat.
It will never win any awards, and it is probably a one-time ride during an evening at Fabrikus World, but EuroLoop captures all the fun (and roughness sadly) of an old-school Vekoma rollercoaster.
