Roller Coaster (Vietnamese: Tàu Lượn Siêu Tốc) is a steel roller coaster located at Dam Sen Cultural Park in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Built in 1998, it is the first roller coaster in Vietnam. Until the opening of a similar roller coaster at Đại Nam Văn Hiến which has 4 inversions, the Dam Sen roller coaster had the most inversions in Vietnam.

Ride experience

After all riders are buckled up, the ride begins with a small sharp turn to the right. Then the riders are lifted up to 24m. Train drops a little bit and banks to the right again. Riders then take a 21m drop, leading to a vertical loop, then a large turn to the right. Next element is a double corkscrew. Trains turn again before hitting the brake.
