Formuła is a steel launched roller coaster at Energylandia in Zator, Poland. It was the first Space Warp Launch Coaster built by Dutch manufacturer Vekoma[3] and opened on 25 June 2016. It has a height of 24.7 metres (81 ft), reaches a maximum speed of 79.2 kilometres per hour (49.2 mph), has a track length of 560 metres (1,840 ft), and features three inversions.[4]

## History

[edit]

Formuła's track was completed in March 2016.[5] The ride opened on 25 June 2016. During the 2016 season, it was known as Rollercoaster Formula 1; however, it was renamed Formuła in 2017.[4]

## Characteristics

[edit]

### Track

[edit]

Formuła's steel track is 560 metres (1,840 ft) in length and 24.7 metres (81 ft) in height. The track is painted red and the supports are painted white.[4]

### Trains

[edit]

Formuła uses Vekoma's new generation trains. The ride has two trains with four cars each; each car seats four riders, allowing a total capacity of 16 riders per train.[4]

### Ride experience

[edit]

Immediately upon leaving the station, the train turns slightly to the left before entering the launch track, which is enclosed within a tunnel. The train briefly stops before accelerating from zero to 79.2 kilometres per hour (49.2 mph) in 2 seconds. Following the launch, the train enters a sidewinder followed by a high-speed turn to the left. Following this turn, the train travels over a small hill before entering a corkscrew. The train then travels through a banked turn to the right, which is enclosed within a tunnel. The train then rises up into a hill where it banks to the left before travelling through a second corkscrew. The train then turns left and travels over a small hill before entering the final brake run. Following the brake run, the train makes a right turn that leads back into the station.[4][6]
