Möbius Loop roller coaster

Möbius Loop roller coaster

A Möbius loop roller coaster can be either a racing roller coaster or a dueling roller coaster. Its unique feature is that there is one continuous track instead of two separate ones. As a result, the station that a train leaves is not the same one to which it will return.

Only three of this type of roller coaster are still in operation today. They are the Grand National at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool (Blackpool, UK), Montaña Rusa at La Feria Chapultepec Magico (Mexico City, Mexico) and Racer at Kennywood Park (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).

Racer is registered as a historic landmark.
