This is so exciting!
Quote:Newport, RI - Newport Pleasure Gardens announced this morning the addition of Inverter, the park's third roller coaster.
Inverter will take the guests up to a height of 105 feet, down a 100 foot drop and through a vertical loop. After a helix, riders will then experience two consecutive corkscrews over a pond, before riders enter the brake run and prepare to disembark.
Inverter is the park's first looping roller coaster. "We really wanted to capitalize on the momentum we gained after last year's addition of the Mine Town area. We're sure that guests will not be disappointed by our new addition!" said CEO Robert Clarke during the offical announcement this morning.
Inverter will be accompanied by an expanded midway, going under the theme of a "Town Square." The area will also feature new food options and shopping. The park's existing Dream Tower attraction will be incorporated into the new area as well.
Inverter will open with the park on May 17.
