(Romagna, Italy) Can’t afford a Ducati? This is about as close as you’ll get, but it still looks like a ton of fun.
Italy’s Mirabilandia has opened Desmo Race, a dual Spike Coaster by German manufacturer Maurer AG. After months of testing, the ride finally opened today to great jubilation.
This interactive coaster model allows guests to directly control their speed by revving the handle bars.
Desmo Race is named after an auto part named a “Desmodromic Valve.” It is said that Ducati motorcycles with this valve system have consistently won championship races.
This is the second Spike Coaster to be built, after the original prototype opened at Germany’s Skyline Park. Many have praised its uniqueness and Maurer’s innovation.
With the addition of a racing feature, Desmo Race is bound to appeal to competitive park visitors wishing to race their friends and family. It’s no doubt that concepts like this have a certain longetivity, and it is undoubtedly a wise investment.
