Quote:Newport, RI - Local amusement park Newport Pleasure Gardens will give guests another reason to scream next year, with the addition of the Falcon roller coaster. Falcon is the park's third roller coaster, replacing the former Hill Runner roller coaster in the Mine Town section of the park. It is unique in that it is a suspended coaster, on which the cars hover below the track and are able to swing freely throughout the ride. Guests will climb an 90 foot lift hill straight out of the station, before dropping more than 75 feet and traversing several sharp turns and the natural hilly forest landscape. The train will ascend a second, 110 foot lift hill, before another 100 foot drop into a sweeping turn over the lake, followed by yet more twists, turns, and hills. Falcon will last approximately 2 minutes and will travel at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. A cost for the ride has not been released. Riders will be able to experience the thrills and adventure of Falcon when the park opens in May.
