Turbulence (roller Coaster)
Turbulence is a steel spinning roller coaster at Adventureland in East Farmingdale, New York. The coaster opened in May 2015 and replaced the aging ''Hurricane'' coaster, which had operated at the park for 22 years. It is considered as the park's headlining attraction. History Development of a new project that would become the Turbulence roller coaster began two years in advance of its opening, in 2013, when park officials visited Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California to ride Sierra Sidewinder - a spinning coaster - before traveling to Germany to consult with ride manufacturer Mack Rides. On June 25, 2014, Adventureland announced that they would retire their existing Hurricane coaster at the end of the season, to be replaced by a $5 million spinning coaster from Mack Rides, which would be the park's largest and most expensive attraction to date. A contest would also be held to determine the new ride's name. Hurricane, a roller coaster from bankrupt Italian manufacturer ...

Chain Lift Hill
A lift hill, or chain hill, is an upward-sloping section of track on a roller coaster on which the roller coaster train is mechanically lifted to an elevated point or peak in the track. Upon reaching the peak, the train is then propelled from the peak by gravity and is usually allowed to coast throughout the rest of the roller coaster ride's circuit on its own momentum, including most or all of the remaining uphill sections. The initial upward-sloping section of a roller coaster track is usually a lift hill, as the train typically begins a ride with little speed, though some coasters have raised stations that permit an initial drop without a lift hill. Although uncommon, some tracks also contain multiple lift hills. Lift hills usually propel the train to the top of the ride via one of two methods: a chain lift involving a long, continuous chain which trains hook on to and are carried to the top; or a drive tire system in which multiple motorized tires (known as friction wheel ...

Spinning Roller Coaster
A spinning roller coaster is a roller coaster with cars that rotate on a vertical axis. Models Virginia Reel The first spinning roller coaster was the Tickler, built in 1908 by Henry Riehl at Luna Park.

These tubs spun freely on their chassis as they travelled down the track, sitting in a trough configuration similar to that of a side friction roller coaster. Known as a Virginia Reel, these spinning coasters did not have big hills or drops, but instead, were designed to feature many sharp turns. Toward the end of the track layout were two helices, followed by a drop into a dark tunnel. The last full size Virginia Reel operated at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and closed in 1982.
